🚨1 year old Maxwell needs safe exit by Sat 10/17 or he will be euthanized for kennel stress💔

This adorable, goofy puppy was surrendered to North Central LA shelter in July after his family moved and could not take him. Young dogs do not belong behind bars 24-7, and Maxwell had a few medical holds that left him in his kennel for weeks with no walks or enrichment. He is understandably stressed and frustrated here at the shelter.

Maxwell is full of life and playful energy, he loves toys, and the doggy pool! He deserves daily walks and attention and a warm bed to sleep in. Maxwell needs a committed family that will give him the love guidance and training he needs to become his best self. It is recommended he is the only pet in home as he prefers people over dogs.

DM US & visit North Central to meet him! Please share this video to help find his person!🥹

RESCUE COMMITMENT🎉🎉- info to follow if/when available!

🚨Precious mama Luna has less than ONE WEEK to make it out of the shelter! Deadline: Thurs 10/15 EOD‼️🚨

Luna was surrendered in April for "too many animals" after clearly having given birth a short time before.😢
Since then, she's stolen the hearts of dogs and volunteers alike with her playful, rambunctious mama energy and soulful smile.

Six months of waiting in a stressful shelter have taken their toll. Overlooked for far too long, Luna's stress and frustration have landed her on the euthanasia list. It's heartbreaking to think this loving girl could lose her life simply because she's still waiting for someone to choose her.

Luna is a strong girl and a guardian breed who needs a committed foster or adopter willing to give her time to decompress, feel safe, and finally know what it means to be loved and not abandoned.

Please, let's not let Luna's story end in a shelter kennel. This mama deserves someone to choose her, too.❤️

Share, Pledge to support Rescue, and DM Us for more info if you are considering fostering or adopting!

Milly was saved from North Central shelter and has been thriving in foster care in Los Angeles, now she’s looking for her forever home 💖

This is what her foster had to share about her: “Milly is honestly very low maintanence on taking outside, does not need long walks nor does she want it lol! and she is absolutely obsessed with water!! very much a velcro dog, loving and sweet”

Milly is doing well with a foster dog brother but her foster thinks she could also thrive as an only dog in a home. She has been seen by an vet outside of the shelter and is in good health!
She’s estimated to be around 2 years old, 40 lbs.

Please DM US if interested in meeting her!

She's a volunteer favorite with a heart of gold and a smile to match 💎 Meet T***s!

This chill, sweet lady has been waiting since June, when she arrived to North Central as an unfixed stray ❣️

What did her first note with volunteers say?? That she's a "wiggly bodied girl". And it was all glowing reviews from there 🩷 Such as "super cuddly and connected. She let me clean some crust our of her eyes." "Gave her belly for rubbing". "Sweet, soft, great impulse control and very loving".

In playgroup she's lower energy, tolerant with a gentle/dainty playstyle, mingles & minds her business. The DPFL team commented a few times on how she loves a good "hose down" 🤣

During her intake exam medical staff noted that she had ocular discharge and a possible URI. After a round of antibiotics her eyes did not improve and the medication was discontinued. T***s has possible entropion which can irritate her eyes and affect her vision ❤️‍🩹

But her spirit continues to shine bright while she waits politely day in & day out for her person to find her.

We need your help in getting this lovely dog SEEN! Or meet her to ADOPT or FOSTER T***s❣️
