Majick is truly a magic dog! He is approximately 2 years old, has been neutered is current on his vaccination and is microchipped. He walks beautifully on a leash and LOVES other dogs of all sizes. He is the size of small Great Dane which is still really big. He is an intelligent, super friendly dog with people and all dogs that he meets on and off leash. He is even ok with cats! Majick is a Dobe + Great Dane mix that was dumped in a shelter and was rescued by Karma Rescue. He is living at the Downtown Dog Rescue kennel with 23 other dogs that he loves to play with. This is a WONDERFUL dog that you will love at first meeting.

Thank you!

There were 67 dogs that were recently rescued by the SEAACA shelter from a boarding facility that was run by a person who allegedly starved, abused and severely neglected all the dogs at the boarding facility. When these dogs were picked up by SEAACA all were severely emaciated, had open skin sores and mange. Most of the 67 dogs were picked up by their owners….however dogs still remain at the SEAACA shelter and need to be adopted out as soon as possible to loving families or responsible rescue organizations.

Some of the other dogs have some degree of mange and all are very underweight. We have some available foster homes BUT need DONATIONS to cover the medical expenses. Donations are very appreciated.

These sweet dogs have gone through such a nightmare and do not deserve to die in a shelter. They are all sweet dogs and deserve to feel love, happiness and comfort.

LENNY

Hi, my name is Lenny. I’m a male Dalmatian pit mix. My rescue friends also call me stud muffin. They tell me I’m a handsome dog and just a bundle of love to be with. I walk well on a leash, listen to commands and will sit or lay down for treats. They think I am about four years old. I’m a gentle soul with so much to give.I am available for immediate adoption as I am already neutered and […]

LORI’S CORNER: Introducing New Dogs into our pack

AMANDA

ASKIM
When we take in a new dog, it’s always a week or two, before we introduce the new dog into our pack of dogs at the kennel. For some dogs, the introduction moves very quickly, in the case of Danity, it was clear immediately, she loves all dogs. In other cases, it’s more of what Clancy has already told me, as in Askim’s case, he is already cool and I have nothing to worry about. More often, we take in dogs like Precious or Amanda, clearly abused + neglected, underweight, requiring medical attention before we can start with any dog introductions.

One of the most common questions that I get e-mailed to me or asked in our Sunday Pit bull class is, “How do I know that my pit bull won’t fight if I let him go off leash with a dog(s) that I don’t know?” My answer is always the same, how well do you know your dog? When we introduce a pit bull, or really any new dog into our existing pack, we put a few trusted dogs that we know really well. My dog Clancy usually serves as the initial evaluator of the new dog, often conducted on leash, then when we do decide to test the new dog with a few dogs, we usually select a dog like Chasui because he is not playful and can co-exist with just about any dog in the yard and absolutely knows when to back away from a dog who is nervous and might become aggressive. Another dog that we use a lot if Cookie, who is often the first dog that most of our new dogs meet. Cookie is wonderful at greeting a dog slowly and understanding the new dog’s play style. Cookie can also just co-exist in the yard without playing, allowing the new dog to investigate and relax before the play begins.

DANITY

Now that Danity has been in our rescue for a while, we also use her to try out new dogs. She is more high energy, like Sasha and enjoys chasing. My young pit bull Curtis who is very dog friendly but almost feral with people is the best, he is a pusher. He likes to do a lot of investigating which can stress a new dog out and lead to a some aggression but Curtis always knows when enough is enough and he will back away from the new dog, opening up some space. When we want to move to the next level, we bring out Edwina, Freeway, and eventually […]

DDR DOG SPOTLIGHT: NERO!

NERO

Life in the 61st Street Kennels

Meet Nero, a 4-5 year old Spaniel mix who weighs approximately 45lbs. He is a wonderful dog, so deserving of a good home considering where he came from. When we first met Nero, he was living in a kennel with 80+ other dogs, crowded on to a property where there was very little good for the dogs. Yes, they were fed and had water, but that’s about it. He was in a run, in the dark, 24/7 with two very dog aggressive dogs on both sides of his run. He was beyond nervous and very traumatized by the constant barking. While living at this kennel, he was never walked, no one petted him, bathed him, or really cared about him, he was just another dog on the property. In fact, no one there even took the time to give him a name. He was picked up by the kennel owner, off the street in South Central LA. We are guessing he was a stray because he is a jumper.

Life with Downtown Dog Rescue

If you are considering adopting Nero, we ask that you either crate him when you are not home, or have an adequately fenced yard, otherwise, he is a really good boy who has been neutered and vaccinated. He was in a foster home but the person can’t keep him anymore and doesn’t have time to work with him. Right now, he is living back in a kennel and needs a forever home or a foster who cares enough to understand what he has been through.

SMILING ABOUT MY NEW LIFE

IN SOMEONE’S HOME

Nero is housetrained, loves riding in the car and is ready now to be adopted.

Nero is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MIA’S DOG TREATS: MY FOSTER PUPS – Part II

TRAVIS

I picked up Travis from the animal hospital about a month ago to come and stay with us to heal up and get healthy. This little pup had a rough start in life and had been attacked multiple times by other dogs.

Hi – I am Travis, the cutest puppy ever! I know that for a fact because people stop me on the street all the time to tell me how beautiful I am. I’M HOT!!

I’m learning super quick. I figured out the doggy door myself with the cone and everything. I love people, they are so much fun! I like to play in the sun with Sass & Princess, but if it’s cold and rainy, I rather stay inside and cuddle. I am officially house broken now and can hold it all night! I am extremely comfy in a crate since I had to spend a lot of quality time in there to heal up. I’m growing really fast because I LOVE FOOD!

I will soon join Lori’s pack downtown to play with all the dogs and go out on adoption events.

LORI’S CORNER: Monthly Spay/Neuter Clinic – The Community Responds

Last Saturday was our monthly free dog clinic in Compton at East Rancho Dominguez Park. There are always too many dogs needing service and not enough cage space and time to do all the dogs that come out. We ended our day spaying/neutering 33 dogs.

Each dog is also vaccinated and micro chipped all at no charge. Ivania and I signed up an additional 50 people, some with two, three and four dogs at home that need the free service at a future clinic. There is always a waiting list and we always end up turning people away which proves my theory, MOST dog owners want to do the “right thing”. They want to spay/neuter and vaccinate their dogs. They don’t always know what the surgery is called but they know, they don’t want any litters of puppies.

Too many people in power, the same people who make the financial decisions for city, county, state budgets believe that “poor dog owners” in areas like Compton don’t care about getting their dogs fixed and that they want puppies to make money. When in reality, most dog owners don’t want puppies, even if their dog has an accidental litter. They either don’t know where to get an affordable surgery or have poor information on spay/neuter. I can’t tell you how many people think that their dog is too young to have puppies at a year, or they are worried that their dog’s personality will change overnight after the surgery, or that their dog might die while being sterilized. Some dog owners are so nervous that they wait with us in the park while their pet is being sterilized.

Ivania and Rosalie are my two dedicated Compton Clinic volunteers who help me process paperwork, sign clients up for future clinics, and trouble answer health and behavioral problems that come up. In some cases, we are the only resource for accurate information on dog care for Compton Dog Owners who may not be able to afford to go to a vet or sign up for an obedience training class. Debbie came out to help answer training questions and Edgar and Gerardo, both Sunday Pit bull school classmates came out to help make our day very successful. Edgar took the photo above of Laurie’s little dog and his sister created the Adopt Me graphics. We passed out dog treats, dog toys, collars and leashes, as well as information on low cost vaccinations and other […]
