TEMPORARY FOSTER HOME NEEDED ID# A0967986-for sweet guy recovered from Coyote attack
ar one click This 2 year old male poodle was attacked by a coyote and severely injured. With treatment, this adorable little guy has blossomed and is now doing great.

Since he was bitten by a wild animal, health regulations require that it be quarantined for 6 months to make sure he doesn't develop rabies. After that, he can be adopted.


In the meantime, if a loving person could provide a temporary home for this little guy so it doesn't have to be in the shelter for 6 months, that would be great!

He will have to remain in the home itself - no walks, no groomers, and no other dogs or cats in the house - and preferably in the LA area.

HE HAS BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING EXTREMELY TRAUMATIC. He needs someone who can help get him through this ordeal.      ID# A0967986

  HANNAH ID# A0974493
HANNAH Hannah is in desperate need of a home...she is incredible...she is a beautiful dog.

Someone cut off her tail, so she is a bit tentative and shy to start, but quickly warms up when she determines you are someone she can trust and quickly becomes snuggly and affectionate. 

She has incredible brown eyes and is very sweet.  She gets along with other dogs and is on the submissive side.
 
Please give this lovely girl a chance..her time is running out at the shelter due to overcrowding because of the housing crisis.  Please give her a another go of life.

JAKE THE CAT
ar food click Meet Jake. He is an eight year old healthy neutered cat. He has not been declawed. He is a little skiddish of chaos (aren't we all) - so, he would do best in a quiet home with no dogs or kids - other cats are fine, though.

He has a sweet and lovable disposition; he would not hurt a fly. His owner is moving to Boston and is unable to take him with her. 

Time is of the essence; she is moving on the 9th.

BO
- what a handsome boy
BO Bo is a real snuggle bug!
He is also not declawed.

Bo is mellow and passive. Based on his disposition, I am sure he would get along well in a household with dogs and small children.

 SCOOBY IS A LOVER BOY
SCOOBYHi I am Scooby. I am at the Hawthorne SPCALA. I am 1 year and  4 months old. I am a neutered male. The entire shelter is in love with me. They have taught me sit, down, shake and when you say "Scooby hug" I jump up with my front legs spread to hug you.  I get along with other dogs, male or female. When I am in the sun I do need sunscreen put on because I am such a sensitive guy. I have gorgeous green eyes.(One of my best features if I say so myself).

I love to give kisses and love to be on your lap if you sit on the floor with me. I just love to cuddle.

    COCO, Sweeter than chocolate
ar one click This cute little Peke is a love...once she knows you can be trusted. She came from a difficult situation with an owner who knew nothing about dogs (especially Pekingese) and would just throw her a scrap of food when she wanted attention or loving.

Her foster mom has gained her trust and finds her responsive and bright. She walks on her leash well and sits and watches TV too.

The foster is going to be very picky about who she goes to, so if you think you are into rescue enough to be patient and gentle with a very special little dog, call me and we'll talk.

Thank you for caring!             Kate  Porter 760 366 1263

  BARTON NEEDS A HERO!!
ar one clickBARTON has been at a non-kill rescue for 5 YEARS - he is about 6 years old and lives in a small metal cage - he is only let out twice a day for 10-15 min. So, he doesn't get out very often.

He has recently been fostered 5-6 days a week and they really love the little guy - but cannot adopt him. Their observations: He doesn't like most other dogs, he doesn't approach strangers, but growls if startled, he loves his toys, is playful, patient, house broken, and very affectionate. He listens and reacts very favorably to commands......He needs someone to love him and take the time to make him feel secure.
