Saving Carson Shelter Dogs

🔹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.
