My name is Hannah and I’m very pregnant. I have no home and I’m scared. Does anyone have room for me and my puppies for a few weeks? |

Born only to suffer, these two little brothers have only known misery. They have sarcoptic mange; it is mite that literally eats the skin away and causes intense itching. Their raw skin was covered with fleas and a crust from the skin infection on top of the mites. They smell like rotting skin, all they wanted to do was scratch and bite at themselves. They haven’t been handled and no person has ever been nice to them, they scream in terror when they got handled by the vet. They will have to be sedated to get a bath and to be treated. Maybe we are nuts, but we want to give these babies a chance. We would love any help and will eventually need a foster home for them. |

HANDSOME SHEPHERD RUNNING OUT OF TIME! URGENT - URGENT - URGENT This adorable boy is in desperate need of a rescue. I did his intake exam, when he first came into the shelter, and he is just a doll. The reason that we need to find a rescue for him, is we are running out of room to move, place, and rehome dogs in our shelter. When he came in, he was very scared and such a sad little man. He let me do anything to him, I could open his mouth, give him vaccinations, you name it, I could pretty much do it. I believe that outside in another setting/enviornment he would be completely submissive to other dogs. He has a behavior assesment from our behaviorist, and passed.

2 delightfully adorable puppies looking for a SPECIAL forever home! Little SUGAR and RAY are 2 cutie pies who sadly came into the world blind. Sugar can see a tiny bit but both pups 'see' with their ears and noses and doing very well in their foster home! With so many of you wonderful people out there, we know we will find great homes for these little munchkins. They don't have to be placed together! Click here to see more pictures of the pups. |

GORGEOUS PUPPY LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME! 3.5 month old Risa is everything a German Shepherd puppy should be, she is active at times, but then loves a nice nap and she is extremely smart. She loves to play with her big canine foster brothers. She knows exactly how to win the heart of the large alpha who she admires so much. He shows his teeth to her and she just keeps kissing him, even the grumpy old man is charmed. Risa is good with the neighborhood children who like to come visit her. She is very alert and already listens to sounds she doesn’t like and is the first one at the gate to check on things. She has her favorite monkey toy, she pulled out all the stuffing, but it is her treasure. She loves to eat and play and do everything any puppy loves to do. The only difference is she has a heart condition; there is no surgery to correct it. It is called subaortic stenosis. She may live for years or maybe a shorter time. She can’t go on an airplane; she can play as much as she feels like playing but no big hikes. They call it self regulated play, which means whatever she feels like doing. Risa would be best in a home with male dogs and no cats. Risa is such a lovely girl inside and out. We are hoping to find an equally lovely family who will love her for whatever time she is meant to have. |

PLEASE READ -- VERY IMPORTANT!! |
In the name of budget cutting, Gov. Schwarzenegger is considering shortening the shelter hold time to only 3 days before animals can be euthanized. We need an email and phone call bombardment to let him know this is not OK! When he floated the idea of taxing veterinary services the outcry was sufficient to change his mind. Let's do it again! Tell the Governor, instead, to enact legislation to attack the causes of pet overpopulation -- shut down puppy mills, outlaw the sale of out-of-state puppy mill puppies in CA, and incentivize neutering of pets -- as the humane way to reduce shelter costs. Please speak up for the animals - encourage your friends to do the same! To share your opinion on this budget proposal and its effect on California's animals you can email the Governor here http://gov.ca.gov/interact#email, http://gov.ca.gov/interact#email , or get phone contact info here http://gov.ca.gov/interact#contact, http://gov.ca.gov/interact#contact |

We need foster homes desperately! We need short term fosters for puppies in the L.A. area, we need fosters for the older ones who do badly in a kennel after being in a home for most of their lives. We need some experienced people to work with the ones who need some training and those that just haven’t been taught house manners. We will take whatever time you have to give to these deserving dogs. Please contact Robin 310-202-7283 or Robin@sheprescue.org or Karen k9karen@sbcglobal.net |

Just think how good it feels to save a truck load of very grateful German Shepherds! We need help transporting dogs to safety. There are record numbers of German Shepherds in high kill shelters all over; we need help getting them safely to Westside. We need help transporting from Lancaster, Bakersfield, Camarillo, Downey, Baldwin Park, and Carson. We need dogs picked up from our kennel in downtown L.A. to vet appointments in W.L.A. and Malibu. Even transporting one grateful German Shepherd can make your week! There is nothing like those big loving eyes, watching your every move and a big sloppy kiss in thanks! Please send an email to Renee at whoafat@hotmail.com if you have some time flexibility and a kind heart. |
I need a home! Please give me a chance! |

Hi everyone, my name is Shorty. I have been waiting for a family to fall in love with me for the longest time, but since I'm not a PB German Shepherd, and I have floppy ears, and I'm smaller than my shepherd friends, I get passed over. Nobody shows more enthusiasm meeting new people than me. I love people, I love other dogs, I LOVE to play! I still have lots of puppy energy, so I will be a perfect companion for you if you wanted a hiking buddy or someone to wrestle with. My best friend, Hunter was just adopted and I miss him a lot. I was hoping I could tag along but the nice lady already had another dog. Watching my buddies get adopted, and hoping I will be next can be hard at times; just to see another Saturday adoption day end and nobody taking me home. Will you give a little dude like me a chance? Read more about me HERE and watch this video of me, I think I look pretty cute. Shorty's video! |

| The event will take place at the San Buenaventura State Beach Park, Ventura, California Last year’s event was a great success and this year will be even better! As part of our outreach efforts in the community, the theme for our 12th Pooch Parade event is “Wags for Wellness: Protect, Prevent, Provide” which emphasizes a holistic approach to ensuring the safety and well being of your pet throughout all stages of his/her life. As such, we will be incorporating this theme in fun and exciting ways at all our booths and we invite all our non-profit groups to join us in thinking of creative ways to emphasize this theme in their booths.The traditional dog walk or “Pooch Parade” will take participants along the beach as we did last year and conclude at the park. After the walk everyone will enjoy pet contests, demonstrations, food, silent auction, fun pet photos, nail clips for tips booth, adoptions through local rescuers and exciting pet related vendors. More than 2,000 people and paws attended last year and being back at the beach will draw even more! |
It is kitten season at the shelters! Adorable, precious kittens of all colors and sizes, all ready to come home with you! The shelters are loaded and many kittens and mommas aren’t finding homes fast enough. We know many of our adopters love cats, too. The situation is dire and we wanted to remind you that if you are thinking about a kitten or cat, this is a great time to adopt. These are just a few of the kittens that are available at the South L.A. Shelter. |
