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.

🔹NOTES ON BLOCKING PEOPLE:
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🔴

🔴Needs FOSTER and RESCUE🔴

✳️KILO ✳️ID: ↩️

Kilo is five years old. He’s about 52 pounds and he is pretty stressed out in the Shelter. He may need a foster And Rescue to save him.

FINAL Notification for KILO-A5733885, 5-year-old, male, Australian Cattle Dog at the Carson Animal Care Center

�
*Rescue Only with a Known History of Aggression *

He would lower his head or dodge the
leash. Finally, I was able to distract and get the leash on him. Any leash pressure he would buck up and bite at the leash.
With some slow coaxing he was able to get into the neighboring yard. He would not walk forward, I dropped the leash as he
stayed in the corner. I was able to use the assess A hand and perform the handling "exam" with him just tolerating the touch
(he was panting heavily, avoiding eye contact). I got close and able to touch the top of his head (he did not seek any
engagement) I made an attempt to place an ID band on him but he whipped around and snapped. I stopped the assessment
after that and was able to return him to his kennel. I was able to double leash but in the process he would bite and hold the
leash.

🔴FINAL NOTICE🔴

🔴Needs FOSTER and RESCUE🔴

✳️BRUNO ✳️ID: ↩️

He’s about four years old and 67 pounds and he was found near 11200 S. Budlong Ave.

Bruno was easily leashed and guided to the catch pen, where he was cautiously leashed and collared, as he appeared uncomfortable during the process. Bruno entered the yard with a tense body posture, ignoring the dogs that came forward to greet him. He had a small scuffle with a male dog he encountered along the way as he explored the environment. The male dog challenged him before lunging offensively, causing Bruno to respond, though both paused and were easily steered away with a verbal correction from the handlers. Following the incident, Bruno isolated himself in a corner, becoming defensive when approached by the other dogs, as he signaled for space. Bruno was shifted to the yard with the calmer dogs, where he was able to roam at his own comfort level. For the rest of the session, he continued wandering around the yard, exhibiting a more relaxed posture, though he remained unwilling to engage with the other dogs

An Assess-a-Hand tool was used as a precaution due to his apparent fearful demeanor. He stood with a tense body posture, a concerned gaze, ears pinned back, a closed mouth, and a tucked tail. The tool was slowly introduced, causing Bruno to curl his lips and pull away as a sign of discomfort. As the tool made gentle contact with one of Bruno’s paws, he yelped and swiftly bit the tool. The handler attempted coaxing to no avail as he bit the tool a second time.

Rescue only w/KHOA for handling sensitivity, calm dogs required, low energy level.

A5734239 ✰ GIGI -10/22/25-

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 one day of treatment in the shelter. She needs help quickly.

My name is GIGI and I'm an approximately 3 yrs old female Pit Bull. I am not yet spayed. I have been at the Carson Animal Care Center since 10/21. I will be available on 10/31. You can visit me at my temporary home at C142.

A5727636 ✰ SINATRA -10/08/25-

He was found near 1500 W. 105th St. He’s about three years old.

A5727636(intact) Sinatra:
Sinatra greeted the runner with a neutral demeanor barking and howling as the runner approached. Sinatra sniffed and licked the runner’s hand and was easy to leash and remove from the kennel. Sinatra walked ahead of the runner with a slight pull on the leash bypassing the dogs along the way. Once in the catch pen Sinatra was collared and leashed without issue. Sinatra greeted the dogs at the barrier with a neutral demeanor and was allowed into the play yard. Sinatra displayed a relaxed body, neutral tail, closed mouth, natural ear set, and soft eyes. Sinatra exchanged greetings nicely then moved on and began to explore the play yard sniffing and marking various locations. Sinatra was social with the dogs as he explored but did not engage in play. Sinatra maintained a social demeanor and would approach the handlers to seek engagement. At times he would howl at them for attention then stop once he received petting. Sinatra spent time with the handlers and appeared relaxed around them. Sinatra maintained a calm and social demeanor displaying no play style at this time. Sinatra is ok for public adoption medium energy level calm dogs recommended.

My name is SINATRA and I'm an approximately 3 years old male Siber. Husky. I am not yet neutered. I have been at the Carson Animal Care Center since 9/19. I will be available on 9/23. You can visit me at my temporary home at C133.
