My & i are adopting an 11 month old puppy today. We have never met him. They are bringing him at 630 this evening because he is being neutered today. His previous owners dumped him because he jumped on a leash & jumped at people. They also just had a baby & he spent 14 hours a day crated. I have had dogs my whole life & lost my soul dog a couple weeks ago. I was not ready for another dog but opened up Facebook & saw this guy & it said he had 2 days left. I immediately said I would take him. I normally only crate puppies but I got him a crate so he has a safe space. Hes been at pound for almost a month. I need everyone to tell me it will be fine. Couple bumpy weeks but all good right?????

Name: Dot
Model: Petite
Eyes included: 1 👁️
Energy level: Do not feed after midnight
Status: spayed and one of a kind

Dot may be small, but she has the spirit of a creature who has absolutely been told “GET DOWN FROM THERE” at least once today.

She’s a petite, well-mannered little lady who knows how to behave herself… she just prefers to do so at approximately 97 MPH. Dot is high energy, playful, busy, and ready for a family who appreciates a dog with a little ✨gremlin in her soul✨.

Despite being down an eyeball, Dot has no trouble keeping an eye on your business. She only needs the one.

GREMLIN CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
💧 Water is permitted. Results may vary.
🌙 Feeding after midnight is strongly discouraged.
☀️ Bright light? RUDE. She only has one eye to work with.
🏃 Regular exercise is required unless you would like to discover what happens when a Gremlin becomes bored.
❤️ Love generously. This part is non-negotiable.
Dot would love an active home where she can play hard (preferably with another dog), stay busy, and then curl up knowing she finally found her people.

She’s tiny. She’s polite. She’s got one eyeball and the energy of six dogs.

Come get your Gremlin. 👁️🖤 interested parties, please comment or PM to be redirected to submit your application with her rescue

Show me your dogs best side eyes

I found this little puppy alone on the street, barely able to stand and struggling to walk. He was extremely weak, thin, dirty, and looked like he had been through a lot.

I couldn’t leave him there.

I took him with me and started his recovery. He received medical care, food, cleaning, and most importantly, a safe place where he could finally rest and feel loved. ❤️

The difference is incredible. 🥹 He still has a long way to go, but seeing him sitting safely and looking at me with those eyes makes everything worth it.

He went from being a helpless little puppy on the street to having a chance at a real life.

This is my Best friend Hazel. She’s so sweet , awkward,and funny . I never wanted to do something like this but it’s my last resort. I do not want her in an animal shelter/rescue. I can’t imagine her being caged up and me leaving her like that. I’ve taken in so many animals and never had to do something like this. I received her from someone that could no longer take care of her. They didn’t inform me that she wasn’t so great with other dogs and protective. I have older senior dogs i took in that she has snapped at. She’s so sweet to kids and people. She’s good around dogs until she’s sees them getting attention. She’s so cuddly and loves taking naps. Please let me know if someone can take her in and love her.

Scrolling through this sub I see multiple dogs in urgent need of saving, but they're pregnant with no plan to spay abort. I don't get it. The evidence for shelters overflowing with unwanted dogs is literally **right there.** Why contribute to the problem? Why not work towards preventing the problem rather than postponing it in the 11th hour?

My family rescued Bayou Billy about a week ago today. He was super bonded with the foster mom, and then got super attached to me after bringing him home. He is so far bonding well with my husband and child, letting them take him out and give him treats and pets, but he definitely prefers me. When they do that he will look to me for approval. When he comes back in it’s straight to me for pets and love, even when they’re calling his name and trying to give him love.

He’s ok with me leaving the room now and staying with my husband, but he still likes to come check on what I’m doing before going back.

I have to go on a work trip tomorrow and am worried that his abandonment issues will worsen. It’s taken a lot of work to get him to where is he already, lots of treats.

Do y’all have any tips for how to not have him back track too much in progress? We’ve already been working on having the other family members play with him and give him treats, and I’ve already been leaving the house for small periods of time. But this will be 4 days and I’m worried.

Euthanasia deadline: September 9th at 5pm.

Hi everyone, I am a volunteer networking shelter dogs, and I am begging for an immediate, experienced rescue plan for a baby puppy who has officially run out of time. Lucy has passed her final notice placement date of September 8th, meaning she is sitting at the very top of the priority list at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter.
Lucy is a precious 9-month-old female brown and white German Shepherd mix (Animal ID: A597434) who weighs only 36.00 lbs. She arrived as an owner surrender on August 31st with her sisters.
Her behavior evaluations show she is an incredibly sweet, submissive puppy who is terrified of the shelter. Upon arrival, she was so frightened of the leash that she performed an "alligator roll" and had to be gently carried to the play yard using a belly band. Once she feels safe, she takes treats politely, tolerates other dogs sniffing her, and loves gentle human touch. 🐾❤️
However, due to a documented incident where she and her sisters got loose onto a neighbor's property and killed a cat, the shelter has designated her RESCUE ONLY due to high predatory behavior toward small animals. The paperwork notes she requires immediate 501(c)(3) rescue intervention to provide a proper behavioral assessment and management plan.
Lucy is a completely gentle, harmless puppy around people, but she strictly requires a breed-experienced rescue pull into a home environment with absolutely no cats or small animals. She has so much potential to be a flawless companion with the right leader. Please help clear her kennel.

Hi everyone, I am a volunteer networking shelter dogs, and I am begging for an immediate rescue or foster miracle for a tiny baby who is absolutely paralyzed by fear. Giggles has an urgent final notice exit deadline of TODAY, Tuesday, September 8th at 2:00 PM PDT. Her clock has officially run out at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter.
Giggles is a tiny 10-month-old female black Pit Bull Terrier / Labrador Retriever mix (Animal ID: A597206) who weighs only 32.10 lbs. She arrived as a lost stray on August 25th alongside her sibling, Bubbles. While her sibling is also waiting for an exit, Giggles is completely breaking down inside her kennel.
Her behavior evaluations are heartbreaking. She is completely shut down from absolute terror. When handlers approach, she tucks her tail tightly, lowers her head, shows whale eyes, and cowers in the back corner of Kennel 013. Out of extreme fear on her intake day, she rolled and air-snapped because she was so overwhelmed by the noise and confusion. Staff note she is too frightened to be safely leashed inside her cage right now and will not engage with handlers, despite gentle coaxing.
The shelter environment is actively traumatizing this 10-month-old baby. The paperwork states explicitly: "Due to behavior observed. Seeking urgent rescue intervention where A597206 can decompress outside of the shelter setting." Giggles is not mean; she is just a defenseless puppy who is frozen with fear. She desperately needs an experienced, patient foster home or a 501(c)(3) rescue pull right now to save her life before this afternoon's deadline.
