South LA Shelter Rescue Me Spotlight : URGENT!!! OUT OF TIME!!: Bubbles A1096560

BUBBLES SNAPS, CRACKLES AND POPS (though she doesn’t want to let anyone know that from the looks of this very serious photo — get that camera away from me!!)

AS YUMMY AS ANY BREAKFAST CEREAL. AND GOOD FOR YOU TOO.

Bubbles (A1096560, only 3 months old, a long-hair chihuahua/spaniel mix??), on alert since March 11th — out of time !!!!!!) came in to the shelter full of hot air. Literally. She had a pouch of subcutaneous air under her skin (check with medical for exact description) — hence, her name, Bubbles. Medical staff quickly fell in love with this little one and is happy to report that Bubbles’ snaps, crackles and pops are nearly gone. This is one frisky little miss who is looking for a home. With her puppy playfulness, she needs lots of love, some training, a few toys, and perhaps a box of Rice Krispies.

If you can help Bubbles burst out of the shelter,

call South L.A. today at (213)485-0117 or (213)485-0119.

And kindly drop us a line with the good news.

Many thanks,

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: Sweet, simple & soulful ARIEL sticks her tongue out at shelter life – lab mix A1093007

ALTHOUGH THIS IS ARIEL’S REACTION TO SHELTER LIFE

SHE’S REALLY SO SWEET
(Proof positive with tail in action can be seen in this VIDEO.
Enjoy her happy ways!)

SO SIMPLE

AND OH SO SOULFUL.

Ariel (A1093007, 2 years old, with a yummy chocolate / white coat, on alert since March 7th — and way, way out of time!!!) is a good girl. Plain and simple. She’s got all the qualities you want in a friend — faithfulness, affection, a sense of fun. A bit shy at first — and certainly not one to pose for the paparazzi — Ariel is loving with everyone she meets. Kenneled with other dogs, she is on the submissive side and lets others take the spotlight. Though some might easily pass her by, Ariel was special enough to have been chosen for our SLA training program. She’s too sweet for the shelter but just right to sit in your lap. She’s too quiet for the kennels but just right to steal your heart. Please consider this soulful angel.

Call the South L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or (213) 485-0119.
And kindly let us know if you can save her life.

Thanks for caring about shelter dogs,

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: 12 PUPPIES LATER, MOMMA TASHA FACES DEATH

Let’s give Mama Tasha a happy ending

like Mama Rainy and her pups!

12 PUPPIES LATER, MOMMA TASHA FACES DEATH

SHE PROTECTED THEM, SHE NURSED THEM. SHE’S SO LONELY WITHOUT THEM.

NEVER KNOWN A TOY. NEVER KNOWN KINDNESS.

BUT SHE CAN LEARN!!!!!!! LOOK AT THIS SILLY SMILE.

We’ve visited with momma Tasha (A1085553, 3 years old, came in to the shelter on January 8th with 12 puppies, 3 died since that time, ON ALERT AND HAS PERHAPS THROUGH THIS WEEKEND ONLY!!!) a few times — enough to see a transformation. Always hungry after feeding her big brood, she would gobble the soft food and treats that we brought her. Thinking of her puppies she would bark at the cage door. But, yesterday, alone, left behind after all the little ones were transferred, she was pleading rather than barking. She licked the food from our fingers. She gently nibbled the chicken that we held out for her. And she wagged her tail!!!!!!!! Yes, this girl who has no hope now sees us as her friends and welcomed the attention, the petting — something she had never known before.

I have a soft spot for the momma dogs and the shelter has given her a little extra time because the RVT’s say she is a “nice dog. She let us treat her babies (they were sick) and was fine with that.”) But, Tasha is on alert and has only a couple of days. If you can help her — and she really needs a foster to shower her with love — call the South L.A. shelter at (213) 485-0117 or (213) 485-0119 And please let us know. We are so worried — yet hopeful that this girl can finally have some happiness and keep that smile on her face always.

Many thanks, Andrea […]

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: ECLIPSE : HER MOMENT OF DARKNESS

ECLIPSE : HER MOMENT OF DARKNESS

SEEKING HER LIFETIME TO SHINE

FROM OBSCURITY SHE CAME, SHAKING AND SUPREMELY SAD

AN ANGEL, SLOWLY FINDING HER WAY — WITH YOUR HELP

ECLIPSE

(A1086258, on alert as of February 24th — way, way out of time!!!!!)

She only 10 months old when she arrived at the shelter, pregnant. This breathtakingly-beautiful puppy curled herself into a ball and wanted to die. She cringed from human touch. She crawled on her belly to get a treat. This sweet dog never, ever knew any joy. With consistent handling and walks and even a visit with us at our last mobile, Eclipse has learned that people can be fun.

I won’t forget the first time she stood up when I approached her cage. Won’t forget that first lick of the fingers, the first time I saw her wag her tail. Knowing that Eclipse has this little germ of hope is so encouraging. Everyone admits that she is stunning. She has been kenneled with many other dogs and gotten along fine. Eclipse needs someone now to shower her with love and to elicit that playfulness hidden behind her blue brindle coat. But, it will take time — she needs patience.

I beg you to let me know that she will be saved. We’ve spent a lot of time and put a lot of devotion in — and can’t wait to hear the good news.

If you can help, please call

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

Thanks so much for caring about these

itsy-bitsy overlooked bundles of love.

CHISPA

Chispa (A1090451) 2 years old, only 7 pounds, tender-hearted, timid, creamy-colored sweet angel who loves to be held and cuddled. Look at her sad little leg, hanging down — through no fault of her own!!! Why should she suffer from the neglect of stupid people who allowed this to happen? Luxating patella, possible cruciate ligament affected, may need surgery – best to get ortho consultation. Her eyes are begging you. Please give her a chance.

PHILIPPI

Philippi (A1091491), 1 year old, rat terrier. A lap-sitting, little guy who loves his walks. And though he has an old fracture, already healed (please check with medical for exact status) — just watch his heels fly as he leaves the shelter. […]

SOUTH LA SHELTER RESCUE ME SPOTLIGHT: CASHEW GOODNESS

CASHEW GOODNESS #A1091382

– by Katya

(South LA shelter volunteer)

Here, have a Cashew. He’s a tasty and delicious tiny treat.

I was there when Cashew was being dumped by his owner – the day before Valentine’s. The man didn’t care that Cashew was scared, that he’d be the 100th Pitbull there, that he had to pull him on the rope (not leash) he had for him to get him through the door of South LA shelter.

Cashew is as gentle as a dog can be. He is timid and tender, sensitive and sweet. He is kenneled with a bolder, barkier dog and Cashew has made friends with him nonetheless. He would make friends with any dog, as Cashew never wants to make waves. This dog would get along with anyone – he would not hurt a fly! I don’t know what Cashew has seen or been through to make him so shy and unsure, but I do know that in the 2 weeks he has been there, he has learned what a kind hand feels like and he has learned to trust me on our walks together. He has also learned to enjoy the grass, to close his eyes with joy when I pet him, and even learned how to give kisses.

Cashew MUST be saved! For the love of Pitties everywhere, please, we must rescue this boy together! He needs a kind home, he needs some time and patience to come out of his shell, he needs to learn to play like an 8 month old pup should, but never could, before. He is so handsome with those green eyes and caramel coloring…and best of all he has a heart of gold. With love and care, he would no doubt bloom and be the most wonderful of pets.

Help me network Cashew! He has years of love to give if we help him – […]
