Saving Carson Shelter Dogs

Saving Carson Shelter Dogs ❤️🐶WELCOME! OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE:
We help promote Carson Shelter dogs by filming videos of the CarsonFosters.com is a great resource.

🔹WHAT WE'RE NOT INVOLVED WITH:
● We are not associated with the shelter in any way.
● We don't pull dogs.
● We don't transport dogs
● We're not involved in the adoption of animals (Shelter phone #: ☎️ 310-523-9566)
● We're not involved in coordinating rescues nor do we get involved in the logistics.
● We are not involved with fostering. In a nutshell we're a tiny set of volunteers that do this on

our own time with our own money with ONLY the dogs best interests in our hearts at all times. We've learned SO much since 2013 when we started posting photos/videos resulting in 1000's of dogs finding solid forever homes. But we continue to try to improve to help more dogs. If you found your dog from one of our videos please drop us a note to let us know! We're also on 🔸INSTAGRAM🔸YOUTUBE🔸TWITTER!

➡️ IF YOU WANT TO BE A ⭐️FOSTER⭐️:
If you live within 2 hours of LA & can foster a pet, please post your name & city you live in on the thread of the pet you are willing to help. Pets with foster offers have a much better chance of being rescued and rescue groups are often monitoring the messages. For more info from independent volunteers trying to help fosters connect with rescue groups:

________________________________

🆘 EUTHANASIA 🆘 :
🔹Remember, we are NOT the shelter: Technically, dogs become 'at risk' for euthanasia at the end of the day on their 'Available Date' if they are sick, have behavioral issues or the shelter is at capacity & they don't have an adopter or rescue group commitment. Most often we are given the courtesy of 24-72 hours notice by the shelter to get the word out if they are considering euthanasia but that isn't always the case.
________________________________

🔹 🌐🌎OUT-OF-STATE ADOPTION INTERESTS:🌐🌎
We receive requests from all over the world from people wanting to adopt the dogs in our videos. Obviously we want all the dogs at Carson out ASAP (if it's going to a legitimate adopter/rescue group) but if you're out-of-state just know that your local animal shelter will have lots of dogs just like the ones in our videos and they probably have less promotion 😢. So please check your local shelter first. There's no shortage of dogs in need around the world. If your heart is set on a pup in a video we suggest you first contact a local rescue group in your area to assist you. Then post in that dogs comments section who you are, the name of your rescue group, your location, and specifically what assistance you need (i.e. pulling, vetting and boarding, transport or if you will handle the transport, etc). Many rescue groups & networkers are on our threads and may be able to assist in connecting you with a Carson Shelter affiliated rescue group who is in the position to help. Please note, typically the funds necessary to save a dog from the shelter (boarding, transport to boarding, vetting, etc.) are the responsibility of the out of state rescue, but you would work that out directly with local rescue that assists you.

Since day 1 we've had only the dogs best interests at heart and we will not hesitate to block anybody we feel is hurting a dogs chances of finding their forever home. We have no time or interest in being a part of any drama that takes away from the task at hand: Helping these dogs find legitimate homes.
________________________________

🔹BEWARE OF CON ARTISTS
There are con artists in every walk of life. Unfortunately that includes animal rescue 😢. PLEASE DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE and research anybody you're considering giving money to. Most rescue groups are fantastic so please don't be discouraged from donating/pledging but there are bad actors that take advantage of these defenseless creatures to profit from the heightened emotions surrounding the situation. Their behavior destroys trust, costing legitamate Rescue Groups precious donations and thus causing more dogs to die. Please be careful.

🔴FINAL NOTICE🔴

✳️LUCKY ✳️ID: ↩️

Lucky is about a year-old and 56 pounds and she was surrendered to the Shelter. She needs help quickly.

Once inside the catch pen, she exhibited a timid demeanor, so the runner proceeded to slowly collar and leash her, but her body relaxed as they interacted during the process. Lucky was allowed into the yard, and she greeted the dogs with a slightly tense posture. Following the introduction, she chose to remain near the exit, appearing nervous around the dogs. Lucky was reluctant to integrate herself with the other dogs, isolating herself. Near the end of the session, she took the initiative to explore the environment, exhibiting a relaxed body. Lucky made a friend along the way, engaging in a push-and-pull play. For the remainder of the session, she continued to socialize nicely with the same dog. Once the session concluded, she was returned to her kennel without incident. Lucky could benefit from continued socialization in a yard with active dogs, where she can further develop her social skills. Ok for public adoption, large dogs ok, high energy level.

✳️SUKI✳️ID: ↩️

He’s about a year old and 73 pounds and he was found near 1300 W. 98th St.

SUKI was collared and leashed without issue. Once inside the yard, SUKI displayed a stiff posture when exchanging greetings with the other dogs. His demeanor intensified as he stood confrontational with one of the dogs, leading to a small scuffle. He was unresponsive to verbal corrections, so the handlers led them away from each other by the leash. He was shifted to the side to decompress alone. Duke was muzzled before being allowed to return to the main yard. Once inside the main yard, Duke was mainly focused on removing the muzzle, unresponsive to the handler’s corrections. Eventually, Duke began to exhibit assertive behavior again, causing one of the dogs to respond offensively, but the incident was quickly deterred by the handlers. The session concluded as SUKI was unable to coexist with the other dogs. He was returned to his kennel without issue. Due to his assertive behavior, SUKI could benefit from an environment with no other dogs, which would help him adjust more comfortably to his new home. Ok for public adoption, no other dogs required, low energy level.

He was easily retrieved from his kennel and guided to the catch pen, where he was collared and leashed prior to entering the yard. Once inside, he greeted the dogs with a slightly tense posture before moving to explore the environment. As he continued to wander around the yard, Lobo responded defensively to dogs who got close to his face, growling and flashing his teeth to signal for space. His warnings began to escalate, causing a minor altercation after lunging offensively at one of the dogs. However, Lobo paused immediately with a verbal correction from one of the handlers. Lobo was moved to the side yard, where he was able to decompress alone, as he was unable to coexist with the other dogs due to his defensive behavior. Once the session concluded, he was returned to his kennel without incident. Lobo would benefit from an experienced owner who understands defensive signaling. Ok for public adoption, no other dogs required, low energy level.

🔴FINAL NOTICE🔴 Will be euthanized

✳️OLIVER ✳️ID: ↩️

Oliver is five years old. He lived his life in a mobile Home park with his brother a small French bulldog. They didn’t have a yard so they spent their time in an enclosure and also tethered in the driveway. One day the utility man came to the house and Oliver and his buddy got loose and there was some type of bite incident of this utility person. The owner surrendered him to the shelter. The French bulldog is still with the owner. He’s going to need help quickly once his assessment is done. He is a super sweet dog and he lived a life that no husky should live. He had no freedom to run.

Loose at the gate, able to collar., some hovering noted. Able to steer but
still needed management/supervision. More tense with males. Chase play, needs to pick up cues of other dogs when he is too
much for them. once I opened the door he backed up and lowered his head when attempting to leash.
Once leashed, light pull to the yard. Slighty anxious in the yard, pacing and more focused on the dogs in the yard. Once he
settled in, I was able to conduct his handling “exam” without issue. Able to place ID band on. Would look around at you
when you would touch/handle his legs.
Ok for public, Adults REQ-Bite Disclosure. Female Dogs Only Rec

Gigi is super cute. She’s three years old and she weighs about 40 pounds. She’s got a skin condition that wasn’t treated that is already looking better after treatment in the shelter. She needs help quickly.

Gigi was taken to the catch pen and was easy to collar and leash without incident. Gigi greeted the dogs at the barrier with a neutral demeanor and was allowed into the play yard. Gigi displayed a relaxed body, closed mouth, natural ear set, relaxed tail wag, and soft eyes. Gigi allowed the dogs to sniff her then moved on once the group dispersed. As she explored the yard Gigi appeared wary of the energetic and playful dogs keeping away from them. As she explored, she appeared interested in the handlers but didn’t fully approach. With coaxing from the handlers Gigi fully approached and allowed petting. After receiving petting, she became loose and wiggly and stared to jump on the handlers affectionately. She spent the remainder of the play session around the handlers and other calm dogs. Gigi was able to co-exist in the play yard, preferring to be around the handlers and displayed no play style.
