🚨🆘2 DAYS TO LIVE! MILO DIES
MONDAY 10/12🆘🚨

OVER 50 DAYS ON KENNEL ISOLATION and now he's scheduled to die. 💔

This is Milo. He's 6 yrs old. He was picked up as a stray in July. Milo is an extremely sweet boy. He loves his belly rubs, has been described as relaxed by staff, and got glowing notes from the groomer during bathtime stating he was well behaved and friendly.

He is a GOOD BOY!! Sadly, like so many of our dogs, Milo caught an upper respiratory infection and has now been in kennel confinement for nearly 2 months without a single opportunity for enrichment or exercise.

Now Milo is 🚨ALERTED & DEADLINED 🚨 for playgroup notes with other dogs that occurred prior to him getting sick. While he started off tolerant his first few outings, he became more selective, particularly with male dogs in that setting. Milo has had conflicts with different male dogs and has not been steerable with correction tools in those moments.

Now he'll die on MONDAY 10/12 anytime after 8AM because of it. He is also RESCUE ONLY.

Milo has had ZERO handling issues with people while at the shelter but now volunteers are restricted from providing even one on one enrichment for him even though his only issues are with dogs in playgroup.

It's just not fair. So now this loving, older gent will know nothing but a concrete kennel for his last days unless a hero steps up to save him. He doesn't have much time left. Milo is available at South Los Angeles Shelter.

🚨🆘ZERO INTEREST HOURS LEFT TO LIVE! OTIS DIES TODAY, SAT 10/10🆘🚨

He only has A FEW HOURS LEFT 💔

Our friend Otis is 4 yrs old and arrived at the shelter as a stray in July. He's been a really good boy with volunteers, staff, and the groomer while here. He's affectionate, was cooperative during his intake exam and vaccinations, and was friendly and well behaved during his bath!

Otis has participated in playgroup with other pups about 15 times.

He's been described as both tolerant and selective in that setting.

Playgroup staff has noted that he is sexually motivated (not neutered) and is hard to steer when mounting other dogs and that he can sometimes be pushy.

Sadly, Otis is now 🚨 DEADLINED 🚨 following an Adventure Day Buddy outing with a member of the public. What was supposed to be a fun field trip away from the shelter has become Otis' death sentence 💔
While on his outing, Otis' handler said he was great with her but leash reactive when out and about. While walking him down a narrow pathway on a college campus, he lunged at a passerby and his handler thinks that Otis bit the person on the leg. She said the passerby walked away immediately, so she was unable to verify any actual injury, but said she did not see anything on the person's leg as they walked away (they were wearing shorts).

Otis was put into bite quarantine as a precaution given the limited information. He is now scheduled to die because of it. Otis dies TODAY, SAT 10/10 anytime after 8AM.

He needs a responsible human who can give him the time to decompress in a quiet, stress free environment upon leaving the shelter and who can work on any leash reactivity that may persist after that.

He's waiting at South Los Angeles Shelter. (The shelter opens at 11am today so email the contacts below if interested in adopting and hopefully supervisors will keep him alive until then)

⭐️Please help best boy LUIGI 🔔 Luigi | 4 yrs | 68 lbs�This boy is a magnificent, floofy husky malamute type with a huge heart. 💙

In just 2 years, Luigi has been found roaming the streets and brought into the shelter by good samaritans SEVEN times. Each time, he was reclaimed by the same owner and went home, only to end up lost again. He needs a home set up to keep him safe and secure for good.

Seven times he’s been scared, lost, and alone. Seven times he’s landed in a loud, stressful kennel. No dog should have to live like this, especially one as gentle as Luigi.

Through every single stay, his notes have been wonderful. He’s dog friendly, sweet, and has proven again and again what a good boy he is.

We’re looking for a responsible rescue, foster, or adopter who will give Luigi a secure home. Let’s make this his LAST time at the shelter. 🙏🏼

‼️Muffin needs our help‼️ This adorable seven-month-old kitten is scheduled for euthanasia at South Los Angeles Animal Shelter and must be adopted Tomorrow Saturday October 10 at 4 PM.

She’s spayed, healthy, and was owner-surrendered because of an eviction. Muffin is listed due to FAS—fear, anxiety, and stress. She’s been at the shelter for less than three weeks. Her owner’s notes say she can be shy with strangers for days, but she’s independent, relaxed, and gets along well with other cats. At the shelter, she may hiss or hide at first, but she isn’t aggressive. With patience, she comes out for treats, plays, and begins to open up.

Muffin needs a loving, patient adopter to help her feel safe and bloom. If you can adopt her, please go to South LA Animal Shelter as soon as possible. If you can foster her please DM me ASAP. Having a secured foster will help get a rescue to pull her.

Share Muffin everywhere and help her find her forever home. We can’t let her die at the shelter.
