🐻 Meet Bear—100 pounds of pure love, wiggles, and silliness!

This handsome, 3-year-old boy was rescued from Carson Shelter, where he was struggling and completely shut down. After nearly four months with his foster family, Bear is thriving—and letting his goofy personality shine! 🩵

Bear’s early life was spent outside, where he was treated poorly. Despite that heartbreaking start, he has come so far. These days, he enjoys cozy naps and playtime with his foster sister, a large pit bull he absolutely adores.

A little more about our big lovebug:
🐾 Neutered and fully potty trained
🐾 Loves his crate
🐾 Completed three weeks of training, with wonderful leash manners and a strong understanding of basic commands
🐾 Can be fearful around unfamiliar dogs and needs slow, thoughtful introductions
🐾 Would do best in a home with a yard and no small children—this big, wiggly boy doesn’t always know his size!

Bear has so much love to give. Now he just needs a family who will give him the patience, kindness, and security he deserves.

His future can be so much brighter than his past. Could you be Bear’s happily ever after? 🏡❤️

PLEASE HELP SAVE CALI 🤍

A couple of months ago, Cali and her siblings were rescued from deadly SEAACA and given a second chance. Sadly, Cali was later diagnosed with a severe heart murmur and needs lifesaving heart surgery. Her surgery is scheduled for October 29 with a local veterinary cardiologist.

Cali has an amazing family who will stop at nothing to give her the healthy, happy life she deserves—but they need help making that possible. 🐾

Please consider donating toward Cali’s surgery. Every donation, no matter the size, helps. If you can’t donate, please share her story. ❤️

🚨WE NEED YOUR HELP 🚨 — CHERRY & FIGGY NEED US!

Yesterday, seven puppies were discovered living in horrific, unfathomable conditions — and being given away on social media. Thankfully, rescue stepped in, and we agreed to take two of these babies into SAFE Rescue Team.

Meet Cherry & Figgy. 💔🐾

When we picked them up yesterday, these poor girls were literally being eaten alive by fleas. They have wounds all over their tiny bodies. We immediately gave them Capstar, bathed them, flea-combed them, and started getting some good nutrition into their tiny bodies. They are clearly anemic and have had a very rough start to life.

But that changes NOW. ❤️

I’ve said before: We are NOT a puppy rescue! But sometimes you see the condition they’re living in and there simply isn’t a choice. We refuse to look the other way when we can help. But taking puppies into rescue is ridiculously expensive, and puts a huge burden on our rescue.

Over the next several weeks, Cherry & Figgy will need:

🐾 Veterinary care
🐾 Food & supplies (for at least 6 weeks)
🐾 Three rounds of puppy vaccines
🐾 Spays
🐾 Microchips + prepaid lifetime registration
🐾 Rabies vaccines
🐾 Mom and Dad will be fixed!
And lots and LOTS of CARE and TLC 💜

🙏 Our goal is to raise $500 to help offset the cost of caring for these two girls.

Even $5, $10 or $20 adds up and helps us continue saying YES to dogs like Cherry & Figgy when they desperately need someone.

💔 SHE WAS THROWN OUT OF A VAN…

Last week we were contacted about this beautiful girl after multiple people witnessed her being thrown from a van in the Lytle Creek/Fontana area.

Terrified, she couldn’t be caught for quite some time. Eventually she was caught, tied near the freeway, and later moved to someone’s yard—still tied up and still desperately needing help.

Thankfully, an amazing gentleman who helps dogs in his community stepped in and drove TWO HOURS to bring her to us. ❤️

Meet F***y. 🐾

She was matted, filthy, smelly and covered in knots, with cuts and wounds on her head, face and neck, and a horrifying hair cut 🤦🏻‍♀️ But the most heartbreaking part was how completely shut down she was. She wouldn’t eat and was terrified of everything.

Then, little by little, she has realized she’s SAFE. 🤍

The tail has started wagging. The smiles came. She has began playing with the other dogs—and recently picked up toys and carried them outside for the first time. 🥹

This sweet girl is absolutely BLOSSOMING! She is gentle, happy, affectionate and truly a beautiful soul. Watching her heal has been a gift and blessing.

We have reported her as found with Devore, posted her on PawBoost and continue searching lost-and-found pages throughout the area.

Once her stray hold is complete, F***y will be spayed, have a gastropexy, receive her vaccines and be microchipped before we begin searching for her happily-ever-after. 🏡❤️

Please follow along with F***y’s journey! And if you’d like to help with her veterinary care—or help us continue saving dogs like her—we would be incredibly grateful. 🐾
