FRIDAY SHOUT OUTS – Giving Thanks!

Another wonderful week has ended and it’s time to give thanks!

For this week, very pretty CASSIE leads the way since she has just been adopted! Another 61st St. Kennel success story! When we took her away from the squalor, we knew this pretty girl would find a home soon:

And life with new mom, Angela on their
first hike out together
looking very happy and with a new name Haiyaty!

How appropriate that the first group of people Haiyaty’s thanking, are the new generation of rescuers that helped with the clean-up at the 61st Street Kennels. Brought in by one of the hardest working women in rescue, Josie of B.A.R.K. (Beach Animals Reading With Kids) here are a new set of good hearted animal-advocates-in-training. Thank you all for your hard work! Downtown Dog Rescue couldn’t have made it all work without your assistance. Many of the dogs have gotten adopted and all of you have a hand in making many dogs wanted, happy and safe. Congratulations Chris, Brandon, Cory, Katie & Amanda for being an integral part of a successful rescue effort!





Another successful 61st St.Kennel Dogs adoption is our own dear little beagle/shepherd blended pup, Timmy! Downtown Dog Rescue pulled him and his sister out and Janet Cook’s rescue, Angel’s Heart got him adopted out!

Here’s Timmy the day he got pulled from the 61st Street Kennel:

And here he is being carried by his new dad!

Thank you Janet and Angel’s Heart for helping us with Timmy!

Timmy will now step up and thank one of Downtown Dog Rescue’s most hard working Pinoy volunteers, George Marilao! An independent rescuer himself, he helps run the rescue co-op Canine & Kitty Co-op out of Long Beach. He’s an integral figure in many of our Spay/Neuter events. You’ll see him with his python and sometimes spinning music for guests. DDR’s relied on him to carry out the various tasks under our Operation SAFETY Net program. We appreciate you George and thank you for all your hard work! Salamat!

George and his award winning Impala!



George loves his pets (especially Pitbulls)

And last but not least, we want to thank BEST FRIENDS – LA Program for inviting Downtown Dog Rescue and CLANCY to be a Breed Ambassador at Cyrus Mejia’s Pits and Perception art show in Atwater Village last weekend. We also had Travis and Cookie there! Clancy and the rest of the DDR brood had a great time and it was a wonderful event!


Clancy was a hit with the girls!

Here’s Clancy all pooped out after all the pets, hugs and greetings at the show.

And with that, once again — we end the week!
A fond farewell to Timmy and Haiyaty!!!! YAY!!!

Saving Downtown Dogs, ONE AT A TIME with YOUR help!
Thank you and see you next week….
