URGENT SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: ON ALERT & IN DANGER : STRINGBEAN BEANIE’S A HAM A1108252

THOUGH STRINGBEAN BEANIE’S EMACIATED

HE’S A REAL HAM :. HERE HE IS ASKING “WHAT TIME’S DINNER?”

NUZZLING, LOVING, PLAYFUL, A STAFF FAVORITE!!!!!

BUT BEANIE’S SERIOUS HERE — AND BEGGING FOR HIS LIFE

Beanie (A1108252, 3 year old, came in at only 41 pounds, arrived on 4/18 and alerted since 4/30 and absolutely needs out now!!!), has had a rough life. Such a sweet dog who has kept his love for people at the forefront even though tragically ignored by those he trusted. Beanie’s skin is like leather — but his smile shines through (though he wouldn’t show it to the camera). Beanie is now in ISO so that he can enjoy his food alone and get his demodex cleared up away from the stress of the kennels. Always a happy guy, adored by staff. We’ve had him out with Liberty, his skinny female counterpart (the one saved by the South L.A. officer — and she still needs a home too) and he gave her so many kisses on her face that she was licked clean!!! And Beanie was kenneled with another dog as well — always doing fine.

If you want to fatten up Beanie and

add him some sugar-free joy to your life,

call the South L.A. shelter at

(213) 485-0117 or (213) 485-0119.

And kindly let us know that he is safe.

Many thanks, Andrea, Mindy & Kristen

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: DEAD BY MONDAY : Magoo : Overwhelmingly cute undercover underbite A1102422 South L.A.

Dear little Magoo is patiently waiting for someone to save him and his underbite. I received word yesterday from the shelter that his time is up — and he will be put to sleep if not rescued / adopted. I’ve watched Magoo for nearly 7 weeks and each time I see him, I can’t help but smile. Looking up with those wide eyes, those funny little teeth, he’s as cute as he can be — only weighs 21 pounds. But, he’s lost in a shelter that gets in 10, 20, 30 dogs a day. Regardless of the fact that he stands up to greet everyone, wagging his tail with joy; regardless of his sweet soul, Magoo is still a number among many. Please, don’t let Magoo die. Call the South L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or -0119 to save him.

And kindly let me know so I won’t be tied in knots with worry — which I am now. Andrea

MAGOO KEEPS HIS UNDERBITE UNDERCOVER

IT’S HARD TO CATCH IT ON CAMERA

SOMETIMES HE’S TOO COMFY TO DISPLAY IT

AT OTHER TIMES HE’S TOO BUSY

WE CAUGHT IT PEEKING THROUGH A WEE

BIT HERE WHILE HE SAT IN MY LAP

BUT IN THE PUBLIC EYE HE KEEPS IT

WELL-DISGUISED BY THIS BIG SMILE

Magoo (A1102422, 2 years old, just 21 pounds, at the shelter since March 25th — way beyond the normal shelter welcome period) caught my eye the first time I saw him. That underbite was overly cute. When […]

South LA Shelter Rescue Me Spotlight: “As long as we’re together…side by side” – sung by South L.A. dogs Fitz & Floyd A1106888 / A1106889

AS LONG AS WE’RE TOGETHER…

THROUGH ALL KINDS OF WEATHER.
EVEN IF THE SKY SHOULD FALL

WE’LL TRAVEL THE ROAD… SIDE BY SIDE

And so they do. When Kristen and I walked them last weekend, their bodies were touching nearly the entire time!!!! These two dogs are truly bonded and the best of pals. When Floyd (A1106889, 4 year old lab mix) was heading back into their kennel first —

Fitz (A1106888, 7 year old, GS mix) cried. He is the protector of his big white, fluffy friend. And Floyd is the kisser of his big smoky-colored, soft-furred friend.

Kristen and I were so moved by the relationship between this pair of dogs. It was truly amazing. And we are sure that upon meeting them, you will fall instantly in love. These guys are super affectionate, utterly handsome and very smart. They deserve a wonderful new home, together.

If you can help, please call the South L.A. shelter at
(213) 485-0117 or (213) 485-0119.
And kindly pass along the good news to us —
that Fitz and Floyd are now with you, side by side.

Many thanks,

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT:Liberty – Officer gently pulled her out from underneath the car where she was hiding A1108335 South L.A.

LIBERTY

AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

South L.A. officer gently tugged at the body underneath the car. Little by little, Liberty (A1108335, 2 year old female) emerged. It was love at first sight. Animal Control Officers see it all — and it is not a pretty sight. Neither was Liberty. She came in at “0” — meaning that she was beyond emaciated. Not to mention traumatized. When we first had her out, she would not move, would barely blink — hence, the name Liberty, as in “statue.”

But, look at this video and see the transformation once back in her ISO area. She loved having the other dogs around and felt so much more secure that her tail started to wag and wouldn’t stop.

CLICK TO SEE VIDEO

And here she is meeting Magoo (A1102422), another dog we will be networking:

Liberty is responding so well to the love that she is getting at the South L.A. shelter. She’s put on a bit of weight; she’s starting to smile. But, she needs out as our ISO space is packed.

If you would like to give Liberty her liberty, call the south L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or (213) 485-0119. And please let us know so that we can spread the word.

Thanks so much,

URGENT! SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: SKITTLES

ON ALERT & EXCESSIVELY URGENT

Delicious Skittles dances as doctor declares her ringworm-free A1107639 South L.A. HOOOOORAAAAAAY!

FROM THIS

TO THIS

AND NOW TO THIS.

SKITTLES LOVES TO BE HELD AND TOUCHED AND KISSED. SHE COULDN’T BELIEVE SHE WAS OUTSIDE IN THE GRASS ONCE AGAIN.

Back in her ISO cage, Skittles (A1107639, 3 years old, doxie/chi mix, on alert as of 4/24 and needs out immediately!!!!!) waits. This angel has been kept way past her pts date because she is so darned sweet. When we open the door and peek in, her tail starts to thump and rap and tap against the metal sides. With excitement yet with serious concern, she looks up at us, pleading for her freedom.

Tests determined finally that Skittles does not have ringworm — and her fungus is disappearing at last!!! I held and petted her — and have been fine. She is not contagious. Skittles seems fine with other dogs that she has met through the bars of their cages and she sure is sweet with her people friends. Everyone loves her. Won’t you?

She’s begging you to call the South L.A. shelter at

(213)485-0117 or (213)485-0119 and save her life.

Please let us know that Skittles is your yummy girl now.

Many thanks,

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: BUCKLES A0653105 -First Lady of the Shelter

FIRST LADY OF THE SHELTER — THE OFFICIAL PORTRAIT.

FIRST LADY OF THE SHELTER RELAXING WITH HER CONSTITUENTS.

FIRST LADY’S PRESS CONFERENCE IN WHICH

SHE PROMISES TO GIVE TOYS TO ALL DOGS AT THE SHELTER (note the prop):

AND HERE’S HER VIDEO!

FIRST LADY BEGGING FOR YOUR VOTE — FOR HER LIFE.

THE END OF THE FIRST LADY (note circle around her tail)

Buckles (A0653105, 6 years old, came in to the shelter on March 18th — so way past her time at South L.A.) is the best candidate for your job as happy dog companion. Buckles is the first lady to appear on the website now — with an early impound number indicating she was adopted / licensed years ago. There is no reason given for owner surrender. She has done all the right things — as her political status indicates. She’s been friendly with all the dogs in her kennel, taking a back seat to puppies and pits alike. She was a sweetheart at our adoption event, mild-mannered, good with kids. And, as we learned while making her video, she is SUPER PLAYFUL!!!! She caught the tennis ball that the officer was throwing — but like a politician, was clever enough not to return it without getting something back in exchange — laughs and praise.

Buckles is a perfect girl. A little bit older, a little bit wiser. She isn’t demanding — she’s devoted. And she wants to devote herself to you. Please help Buckles — she’s a cinch to win your heart.

Call the South L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or (213) 485-0119.

And please let us know — because this middle-aged First Lady has truly gotten our votes.

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: SHELTER SADNESS: Momma Naomi gone, Baby Campbell leftl

THURSDAY, April 22

Although momma Naomi is gone, we have not forgotten her. There is no blame with the shelter — I want to make that perfectly clear. Staff was not aware that I was networking this dog and I take responsibility for not being diligent and confirming the status. I am burdened with the sadness that remains. And it haunts me.

It is now time to save her puppy Campbell. If you can help this orphan, please call the South L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or (213) 485-0119.

With Naomi’s memory always in our hearts,

Andrea Braver

SAD, TENDER, WOUNDED MOMMA SEPARATED FROM HER PUPPY

THEIR REUNION BROUGHT TEARS TO EVERYONE’S EYES.

You can’t help yourself when you watch their video:

EVEN PUPPY, AS YOUNG AS HE IS, HAS BEEN CRUELLY NEGLECTED AND HURT.

Naomi (A1102606, 2 year old, pit / GS mix, NOT ON ALERT BUT WILL BE SCHEDULED ANY DAY NOW SO NEEDS OUT IMMEDIATELY (probably by 4/20!!! Don’t wait.) is one of the gentlest dogs at the shelter. All of us love her to pieces. She has been kenneled with other females and is always a sweetheart. Puppy Campbell (A1102604, now 4 mos old), though surrounded by lots of little […]
