Please welcome Lucy to DOGzHAUS from North Central shelter.
Lucy is 12 years old with several medical issues and her hind legs are very weak. She arrived North Central shelter as owner surrender a while ago. I was notified about her about 2 weeks ago and I was hoping she could be rescued soon.

Yesterday, I still saw her in the shelter so talked to the shelter rescue coordinator and the supervisors.
She didn’t have much time there. Am I up for adding more dogs here? I don’t know. But I have to try. I always figure out. And once I say yes, it means I commit for the dog no matter what problem may come to us in the future.
I am not a perfect human being. But my commitment for a dog is always 100% with confidence.

Welcome to DOGzHAUS RESCUE, Charlie.

He is safe with us. After multiple bite incidents and almost euthanized, thanks to kind shelter volunteers and networkers, we were able to rescue him.
He is still timid but doing okay. Seems like he started feeling safe here and wags his tail every time when he sees us. He is still going through his decompression period next few weeks and we will evaluate him.
My impression from the bite information, he was very scared and insecure. Every time when someone touched his "uncomfortable" zone, he bit. Lets see how much he opens his mind
I am looking forward to knowing him better.

Special appreciation to Laura Garrick, Diane DeStefano, Barbara Tackitt and networkers/pledgers.
All pledgers will receive a message from us in 1-2 days for pledge payment information.

Again, thank you very much. I am glad he is safe with us.

Good Early Wednesday Morning from DOGzHAUS Ranch.....

Pledge needed!
So.... we are committing to rescue this boy. He was going to be euthanized after 4 pm yesterday... and the shelter did not accept the extension. If you can donate, please pledge on the comment space below. This dog is still in WLA shelter but schedule to leave for our ranch this afternoon.... I won't collect any donations until we actually have the dog with us.

Being a rescue, you know, things sometimes happen very quickly to save one dog. I really thought he was going to be euthanized yesterday. I basically decided to take him at 3:58 pm... 2 minutes before his dead line.... I watched this video at 3:55 pm... and cried to know he is dying soon. Because he had few bite incidents in the shelter and quarantined 3 times. From the video, I did not think he was a biter. I was sure he was being scared in the shelter.

At 1:14 pm: I received a message from a WLA shelter volunteer who cared for this dog so much. She said his exit due was at 4 pm today or he would be euthanized. I said my rescue was full and could not take more.

At 1:32 PM: A different volunteer contacted me for this dog and sent me this video

At 1:39 PM: Other WLA volunteer contacted me but my answer was same

At 1:42 PM: the first volunteer person contacted me again and there was a rescue for him but no foster, so if they could board him at my boarding kennel. I said yes. He can come here as a boarding dog but I could not take him into my rescue. (My rescue and My boarding kennel are totally different company so I don't use a boarding kennel for my rescue dogs) I was relieved he was being rescued.

At 3:18 PM: I got contacted again and was told that the rescue backed off because of his multiple bite history.

HE HAD ONLY 42 MINUTES..... and NO RESCUE COMMITMENT....
Sam said "lets go to pick him up".... well, it does not work like that.
I am very responsible to commit for all my rescue dogs. I need a plan. I need to pull first.... and I still thought there was no way to take more dogs. I watched his video again....

At 3:59 PM: I messaged the volunteer and said I would take him. She immediately told the shelter staff to give the notice.

At 4:34 PM: The shelter staff called me and I pulled on the phone.
He is safe.

I am up at 4:14 AM now, figuring out and preparing to welcome this dog this afternoon.
24 hours ago, I did not even know about this dog and I had no idea I was going to pull one Rescue Only dog. But this is how a rescue is. I guess this dog was meant to come here. Since this dog actually need some decompression period and possibly some training, any donation will be very helpful.

I won't collect any pledges until we have the dog with us so please consider to help us and pledge on the comment space. I always appreciate your support. In this covid situation, we are very struggling financially to continue providing our best to all our rescue dogs.

Good Wednesday afternoon from DOGzHAUS Ranch.

It is still hot outside during the day but the temperature goes down to 60 degree in early morning lately. Fall is coming and the color of trees is getting changed at DOGzHAUS Ranch.

Last year, we had many senior dogs in our sanctuary and sadly, many of them left this world. This year, we have more younger dogs. So our current senior dogs have their senior time alone sometimes.
Athena is 14 years old German Shepherd from North Central shelter. Woofie ( formally Big Noah) is 12 years old Husky/Wolf? from Downey shelter.

Woofie was so sick, weak and could not even get up when he was rescued about 3-4 weeks ago but his condition has been improved a lot, got gained some weights and is enjoying his life again now.

I don’t know why a senior dog is so stubborn. Maybe not so different from people. They give us smile everyday.

Please stay safe and healthy.

Happy Monday afternoon from DOGzHAUS Ranch

Air quality is pretty bad here because of Bobcat Fire. Juniper Hills near Palmdale where about 20 miles from us is currently burning sadly. Hopefully, everybody is safe and doing okay.

Daisy (formally Snow from Downey shelter) is having fun with mud. She is appx 1.5 years old female White German Shepherd. 55 lbs.
she is very sweet with people and enjoy affection. She is selective with other dogs but it’s more like she didn’t get socialized enough when she was younger with her previous owner so she will need more practice to be around other dogs. She likes some male dogs we have.
She had a lot of energy and loves to run and play.
She may not be so great with small animals since she loves to chase it but again she needs more training.
She knows several commands.

Please stay safe and healthy

Good Tuesday mid afternoon from DOGZHAUS Ranch.

Big Noah is doing great. He has more energy and walks more ( slowly). His appetite is better and he is improving nicely. We seriously thought the first 24 hours was difficult when we rescued him. We are so glad he is a strong fighter and improving a lot. Since his kennel cough is still bad, he is completely separated from other dogs at this point. It’s a very busy week but I enjoy having my break time with him on grasses and relax a while during busy afternoon.

I can’t wait to see him chilling with my other seniors.

It’s still hot and it will be very hot this weekend.
Please stay cool, safe and healthy
