HELP US PLACE COPPER in a great home!

MESSAGE FROM LORI WEISE

Copper is a great dog who has lived with dogs and cats. Very sad situation, her owners just have too many dogs are being forced to reduce the number of dogs on the property. No abuse, neglect or breeding, it’s just about the numbers! If they can’t find homes for the extra dogs they will be euthanized which we are not going to let happen. Please help us.

LORI’S CORNER: BACK TO BACK DDR ACTIVITIES!

I had a very busy weekend. Saturday was our monthly Compton Clinic. We spayed/neutered 33 Compton dogs + collected over 50 names and contact information from dog owners who came up to our table in the park. Thanks to a grant from Petsmart, we can offer free spay/neuter for Compton Dog Owners. Our goal in 2010 is 700 Compton Dogs. Our focus is pit bulls. When we are in the park it’s not just about spaying and neutering dogs, we also offer information on dog care and training. People really want to learn.

I want to thank Ivania who comes out to every clinic and translates for us, since there are many Spanish speakers who are eager to comply with the mandatory spay/neuter ordinance. Second I would like to thank Edgar, Queeny’s owner, who came out and helped me speak to many people including a group of basket ball players who had some pit bull puppies that they needed information on getting off to a “right start”.

Forming these relationships within the community and offering free spay + neuter right in the park is the only way we will ever see a possible decline in the euthanasia rate for dogs at the Downey shelter (the shelter that serves the City of Compton).

(remember Chocolate? Now EVE!)

On Sunday, Downtown Dog Rescue hosted another CGC trial. This time, some of our class members who missed a couple of points on their last test passed! Judge, our class dog passed with flying colors and so did Eve (formerly known as Chocolate), so young, and on her first attempt. I was especially proud to see one of our DDR dogs pass on her first attempt. My friend Carole Pearson, leader of Dawg Squad, also passed a couple pit bulls. It was a really great day. Thank you again Lezle for being our evaluator.

Our next CGC trial is going to be the first week in June. If you own a pit bull and want to see if your dog will pass the Canine Good Citizenship Test, get in touch with me soon . Our Coliseum class is a great way to put the work into your dog that you will need to pass the test.

Our goal is to certify 100 pit bulls, something that has […]

LET’S GET ALL SMILES DOLLY ADOPTED! SEAACA Shelter in DOWNEY

DOLLY
10-22027
SEAACA (Southeast Area Animal Control Authority)
Downey, CA
(562) 803-3301

*$190 pledged to a qualified 501c3 that can rescue Dolly*

Dolly is a gorgeous young Rottweiler that was found as a stray near the SEAACA shelter. She has been there over two weeks, and her owners have not bothered to track her down, so it’s time for her to find a new home where she’ll be well cared for, and if she’s lucky, spoiled rotten.

Dolly is friendly with all, and has shared her kennel with multiple dogs. She has classic Rottie features, and looks more like she came from a dog show rather than off the streets. She is about two years old, and is somewhat underweight right now, but still checks in around 85 lbs.

To see Dolly in action, watch this clip:

If you can rescue or adopt Dolly, please call SEAACA at 562-803-3301, option 4, or go visit her at 9777 Seaaca St. in Downey (90241) and email robevanu@yahoo.com. If you can’t do either, but can pledge money to help Dolly find a rescue, that would be greatly appreciated, as she needs to spend some time in boarding to get over a cold and get healthy enough to be spayed.

NORTH CENTRAL WONDER: BRUCE the LAP DOG!

-RIP BRUCE- WE’RE SO SORRY

WE DIDNT GET TO YOU IN TIME –

4/9/10

LET’S GET SWEET BRUCE OUT OF A COLD SHELTER CELL
AND LOVED IN A WARM HOME WHERE HE CAN SIT IN YOUR LAP!!!!

FROM MEGHAN GALLOWAY (North Central Volunteer)

His name is Bruce. He is a black and white 2 year-old neutered male who was a “owner surrender.” He has been at the shelter since 2/10/10. He is the sweetest dog you will ever come across. He is still very shy, but has never shown any aggressive behavior. Give him food and love and he will lie in your lap all day. He is content to simply be near you. As he is a “Velcro” dog, he is fantastic on the leash, needing very few reminders. He also knows sit, down, and stay. He has never shown any aggression towards other dogs so far. He was underweight when he came in and lost even more weight in the shelter, but has recently gained a little back. I know this is probably just like any other story you’ve heard and there are tons of pitbulls out there that need homes. I just had to at least try to do something for him. I would really hate to see him put down as two of the other dogs I was working with were put down last week. He has been at the shelter going on two months now. There is probably still some time left for him, but I don’t know how much more.

DEB’S DOG OF THE WEEK: TIGER REDUX-WEST LA SHELTER

A couple of months ago I wrote about Tiger, a dog that came from South LA and ended up at the West LA shelter. Well…unfortunately he still hasn’t found a home and he’s still living at the shelter. The good news is that we’ve continued to work with him and he’s really become a great dog. Tiger is such a ladies dog that we use him as our “tester” dog for females when we want to find out if they are dog friendly. The shelter also neutered him and since then we’ve been able to introduce him to some other male dogs. (He seems just as relaxed as long as they are also fixed and not too dominant. We also took him to a huge mobile adoption at Roxbury Park in Beverly Hills where there were dogs, people and vendor booths everywhere. He did great!

As well as Tiger is doing…his time is running short. He’s been at West LA for almost 4 months which is definitely pushing his luck! Tiger needs to be adopted quickly. Please consider meeting Tiger before it’s too late. You can visit him at the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter or he will be at a mobile adoption this Sunday, April 11th at Kiehl’s, 1516 Montana Ave, Santa Monica 90403 from 1 PM to 5 PM unless it rains.

AN EXTRA SPECIAL PLEA:
LORI WEISE WILL PERSONALLY DONATE
$200 to a 501(C)(3)rescue to pull TIGER

FROM: NICOLE SALTER

Hi all,
I’ve been visiting this dog at WLA 4x a week for 2 months. While getting the most urgent ones out, he sits there modestly behind his bars, not barking and just being the little Pei mix that he is. He’s not overly animated but will PLAY PLAY PLAY when in the yard. I’ve had Pei Mixes and this is how they are….and they are the most understated GEMS. And they get overlooked. Just like Tiger is getting overlooked. The shelter neutered him so they consider him VERY adoptable…..Debbie Fan has worked with him a lot and takes him to mobile adoptions so she’d be able to tell you a lot about his personality and temperament. The WLA Shelter uses him as their “test” dog w/females since he’s so good with them.

Tiger is a great little dog and he will be an amazing companion….he needs to get out.

Contact Nicole Salter at nicoleasalter@yahoo.com
310-621-4137 or contact the shelter directly!

What a sweet calm face and those ears!! […]
