Here are a few of our favorite critters in search of homes. As always, thanks for your help.
Kit and Kat are not cats
They are an inseparably bonded pair of female canine siblings in need of a foster or permanent home ASAP. The rescue agency will provide medical care, dog supplies and food. These two dog-sisters were abandoned by a backyard breeder in San Bernardino, locked together in a small, single crate, and left for dead for an unknown number of days without food, water, or blankets. Remarkably, they not only survived but are thriving. Must be fostered and adopted together. To meet the girls, please text rescue at 951-386-8076.
Thank you to Maria Juarez for this urgent notice.
- Female dogs, must be adopted as pair
- Pocket-Pit breed
- Age: TBD
- Spayed. Used as breeders, but recovering and in good health
- Leash-trained, easy, mellow personalities
Thank you to Kevin McManus, Pasadena Humane, for this listing:
Meet All-Around Fun Dude, Chet #A511902
Chet is the life of the party wherever he goes! He knows how to work the room. Chet basks in attention from adults, kids, and other dogs. He is happiest when someone is petting him, brushing his luxurious coat, or, if you’re a dog, playing with him. He wants to play with nearly every dog he sees! He’s working on training cues with the volunteers at Pasadena Humane. He’s not particularly treat-motivated, but he hasn’t found a toy that he doesn’t love, and he’ll go through all his tricks until you give it to him. Chet is energetic, so having another large dog for him to play with would be nice. He has bonded quickly with some of the dogs he’s spent time with while out on field trips.
- Male Husky
- Extroverted, active
- Classic black/gray/white markings with white mask, electric-blue eyes
- Age: Two years (approximate)
- Housebroken
- Plays well with others, human and canine
Adoption fee of $150 includes neutering, microchipping, and age-appropriate vaccines. New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for your pet.

My Fair Lady, #A5594830, Downey Shelter
Tick-tock. Thank you for this urgent listing, Isabel Bobby Dean. Contact: [email protected]. Per last week’s post, many animals in this already-crowded shelter are quickly being euthanized to make space for more than 100 abused animals seized from Compton’s “Tarzan of the Hood” since the seized animals are being held and examined, as evidenced in the criminal case. This senior dog was surrendered by her human after 8 years because of a landlord dispute. Lady urgently needs a partnered rescue and a foster who’s experienced with big breeds because she’s now past her grace period at the shelter. She is so stressed that she nipped a staff member, so she’s under evaluation and isn’t being seen or visited. This reduces her already slim chances of surviving as we go to press.
- Female GSD German Shepherd

- 63 lbs.
- Medium-energy
- Senior, age: 8-9 years (approximate)
- In fine health
- Accepts humans and other large dogs
- Gentle disposition, but disoriented and highly stressed by kennel noise
- Trained to take commands
Twenty+ dogs abandoned
Thank you, Brianna Ramirez, for this shocking and crucial listing. More than 20 dogs were abandoned by a self-described “rescue” group. Currently boarded but short-listed for euthanasia. Some are trained. All are in stable health and need immediate intervention. We’ve only shared a few of the photos here. To foster, adopt, or donate toward food and board:

What a bromance! Aiden #A512841 and Ethan #A512841
Thank you, LeeAnn Nicholl and Quinn Ashly, for this heroic rescue and for sharing this important and urgent posting. These beautiful, 1 – 2-year-old male Jindo breed dogs are brothers, presently at Pasadena Humane and ready to be adopted. Contact (626) 792-1751 or [email protected]. Jindo dogs are a medium-sized Spitz breed of South Korean origin, originally bred as hunters. Jindos have a very strong prey drive and need attentive training. As guard dogs and watchdogs, they are typically loyal and protective but are curious by nature and need lots of exercise. Their intelligence and high energy make them natural escape artists, and they’re expert jumpers. This pair was rescued as abandoned strays by rescue organization @puppybreath_, and their rescuer describes them as in need of training and exercise but friendly, playful, and good with other dogs. Quinn says, “They are incredibly gentle and sweet, slow to warm up, but when they do, it’s all snuggles. They would be great friends to anyone.” Both dogs have been neutered and vaccinated. They’d love to stay together, but they are okay with being separated (sniff!) for foster/adoption.

Beckham Behind Bars!
Beckham #A789526, contact https://petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=SBCO1.A789526
Very little is known about this male black and white Pit Bull Terrier. He’s been sitting alone, quietly, in his kennel since December 5, 2023. He gets very few visitors, but the sight of a human sets Beckham’s tail to thumping. The shelter staff estimate Beckham’s age at around 2 years, 6 months.
Pepper Makes a Splash!
Thank you, Ella Hovsepian, for bringing Pepper to our attention. This gorgeous, friendly senior girl was abandoned by former owners when they moved. That was more than three and a half YEARS ago, and she’s been at an all-outdoor (yes, outdoors year-round…) shelter (let THAT sink in…) ever since. She likes people, kids, and other dogs, especially young dude dogs. She’s even cool with meeting strangers, non-aggressive. Loves to splash in water! But the kennel is stressing her out. It’s been so long. Text 909-800-1836 to meet Pepper.
