URGENT SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: MUST GET OUT OR WILL BE KILLED : Stringbean Beanie’s a ham A1108252 South L.A.
Stringbean had a canine girlfriend — Liberty, recently networked — who was lucky enough to find a home — but he’s been left behind. Kristen and I remember him plying her with kisses to bring her out of her shyness.
But, even though he is such a sweet boy, with those goofy ears, one up and one out, and brings a smile to everyone who meets him with his tail always wagging, Beanie has been at the shelter for too long and must get out now!!! He loves life so much, is always happy, wants to please and delight you.

NUZZLING, LOVING, PLAYFUL, A STAFF FAVORITE!!!!!
BUT BEANIE’S SERIOUS HERE — AND BEGGING FOR HIS LIFE
Lori’s Corner: “When the crisis is over the work begins!”
I don’t think that I’ve ever opened up my e-mails and not read about some crisis happening, going to happen or will happen if… Usually the “if”reads “if a rescue doesn’t step up and save this dog now!!!!” These rescue pleas can be overwhelming and frustrating if I don’t stay positive. My pack of about 20 rescued dogs, have for the most part, all survived some horrific situation or were rescued on their last day or last hour at the South LA shelter.
Perhaps the biggest crisis we ever responded to was the 61st Street kennel situation, where over 118 dogs were being neglected, allow to attack and often kill each other, right in our own backyard, in South Central LA. To date, all of the dogs that we could rescue are safe and lots of them have been adopted. We are now down to the last few 61st Street kennel dogs that still need a forever home.
Seven days a week, twice a day, for many hours, I’m with the dogs. We do lots of things together, including, going to the park, going on walks, going on car rides, and of course, Billy takes dogs out several times a week for special long hikes. Just feeding and cleaning up after 20+ dogs every day is a lot of work but when you consider that each dog comes with a complex set of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is how to say, “no more dogs”, saying it and meaning it, otherwise, one runs the risk of becoming another 61st Street kennel where the president of the rescue could not say the word NO. She kept taking on more and more dogs, all in the name of no-kill. Larry was one of the dogs that went to her “no kill rescue”
Larry is a wonderful dog, super sweet, who loves all female dogs, is tolerant of male dogs but hates small dogs. He was chained 24/7 at the 61st Street kennel. He is definitely ready for a forever home but not one calls, not one e-mails and zero applications have come in for this great dog. Rather than running to rescue another dog, we focus on working with Larry, making his life, while at our kennel, the best possible life he can have. Larry was a dog that at one time, was an urgent plea from a shelter dog network, offering a rescue group money to take him, and look where he ended up, in hell. Sure he was rescued but he was chained up with 117 other dogs. Sure he wasn’t euthanized but the suffering that this dog endured at that kennel was so great that if we had not come into truly rescue him, being euthanized would certainly […]
