SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: ECLIPSE : HER MOMENT OF DARKNESS

ECLIPSE : HER MOMENT OF DARKNESS

SEEKING HER LIFETIME TO SHINE

FROM OBSCURITY SHE CAME, SHAKING AND SUPREMELY SAD

AN ANGEL, SLOWLY FINDING HER WAY — WITH YOUR HELP

ECLIPSE
(A1086258, on alert as of February 24th — way, way out of time!!!!!)

She only 10 months old when she arrived at the shelter, pregnant. This breathtakingly-beautiful puppy curled herself into a ball and wanted to die. She cringed from human touch. She crawled on her belly to get a treat. This sweet dog never, ever knew any joy. With consistent handling and walks and even a visit with us at our last mobile, Eclipse has learned that people can be fun.


I won’t forget the first time she stood up when I approached her cage. Won’t forget that first lick of the fingers, the first time I saw her wag her tail. Knowing that Eclipse has this little germ of hope is so encouraging. Everyone admits that she is stunning. She has been kenneled with many other dogs and gotten along fine. Eclipse needs someone now to shower her with love and to elicit that playfulness hidden behind her blue brindle coat. But, it will take time — she needs patience.


I beg you to let me know that she will be saved. We’ve spent a lot of time and put a lot of devotion in — and can’t wait to hear the good news.

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: CASHEW GOODNESS

CASHEW GOODNESS #A1091382

– by Katya
(South LA shelter volunteer)


Here, have a Cashew. He’s a tasty and delicious tiny treat.


I was there when Cashew was being dumped by his owner – the day before Valentine’s. The man didn’t care that Cashew was scared, that he’d be the 100th Pitbull there, that he had to pull him on the rope (not leash) he had for him to get him through the door of South LA shelter.

Cashew is as gentle as a dog can be. He is timid and tender, sensitive and sweet. He is kenneled with a bolder, barkier dog and Cashew has made friends with him nonetheless. He would make friends with any dog, as Cashew never wants to make waves. This dog would get along with anyone – he would not hurt a fly! I don’t know what Cashew has seen or been through to make him so shy and unsure, but I do know that in the 2 weeks he has been there, he has learned what a kind hand feels like and he has learned to trust me on our walks together. He has also learned to enjoy the grass, to close his eyes with joy when I pet him, and even learned how to give kisses.

Cashew MUST be saved! For the love of Pitties everywhere, please, we must rescue this boy together! He needs a kind home, he needs some time and patience to come out of his shell, he needs to learn to play like an 8 month old pup should, but never could, before. He is so handsome with those green eyes and caramel coloring…and best of all he has a heart of gold. With love and care, he would no doubt bloom and be the most wonderful of pets.



Help me network Cashew! He has years of love to give if we help him – […]
