Sarah PUPDATE: On of our amazing volunteers drive to Carson to get Sarah, and there were two other families there to adopt her. One of the families ended up adopting. If by any chance, anyone knows who it might be, please let us know! We always want to be there to support a new shelter pet coming into the home, and be a back up if there may be any issues 🤍

***********

Just seeing this post and my heart bleeds for this perfect girl who lost her family! We NEED A SOLID FOSTER and she NEEDS a Christmas miracle!

Friends, I think we are talking about a PERFECT dog here. She has already received MANY MANY views, and yet as of 12/13, she is still at the shelter.

Here's what we know: Sweet Sarah is five and she was surrendered to the shelter when her owner moved to another country. They left a lot of details about her and they said she knows commands, she’s live with cats and large dogs. She’s crate trained. She’s lived with children. She’s very playful and tolerant of children. She loves to go in the car. She’s never barked or lunch at anything except maybe she’ll chase a squirrel if she feels like it. She knows sit, down, roll, hand and even smile to pose. She’s never been destructive and she’s gone on a jog every single day either five or 10 km. Her favorite thing is chasing the ball with treats and chewy bones and she loves a squeaky toy in the shape of a squirrel. She’s been on the Costco dog food diet and her owner says she is sweet. Will follow you your cat your child everywhere you go when you are on a hiking trail she will take care of the entire family. The owner has a one page bio available for her as well. That gives you a lot more details. This is a special dog whoever ever gets her willSaving Carson Shelter Dogs My Penny Cooperis SARAH and I'm an approximately 5 year old femalSAFE Rescue Team. I am already spayed. I have been at the Carson Animal Care Center since 11/20. I will be available on 12/3. You can visit me at my temporary home at C215.

Today was NOT your day to die my friend! Today we celebrate your life!

This little young-man was hit by a car, severely fractured leg and abrasions, landed at an already overcrowded shelter, no one came for him and his time ran out today.

Thankfully with the support of this amazing rescue village, a foster raised her hand, an amazing networker jumped in to help us try to raise some funds, and an amazing donor offered to help.

Welcome to the SAFE pack Skipper (name will be changed 🤦🏻‍♀️) He was picked up from the shelter and dropped off this morning to our AMAZING orthopedic team Sevilla Veterinary Hospital having emergency surgery 🙏🏻🤍 Thank you

Yep this really happened today 🤦🏻‍♀️

This 3/mo old little baby boy was surrendered to us today after battling parvo. Unfortunately, when he arrived, I could tell he was still very sick, lots of phlegm and rattling in his chest. I suspected (and it was confirmed) he has pneumonia. He is now with our vet team and can use some prayers and good energy sent his way!

If you would care to donate or contribute to his ongoing care we would be so grateful. Pneumonia is serious stuff for a puppy 😭

We will be updating our Amazon Wishlist for this kid and for our other babes for the holiday season 🫶🏻

Yes we did a little thing to start off the holiday season…

This little 11 year old lady found herself at City of Long Beach Animal Care Services. She was confiscated after her momma died unexpectedly. She had already been there a week and no one was coming for her! One of our beautiful heart fosters saw her and couldn’t resist offering to give her a soft warm place to land. So please help us welcome Charlotte to the SAFE pack!

It’s heartbreaking to think that so many of these animals will be on a cold hard floor and familyless for the holidays 💔 If you can open your home to fostering, please consider fostering for us. If you’re unable to foster, please consider donating so we can continue our mission to help as many as we can. There are just SO MANY IN DESPERATE NEED!

3 new shelter intervention intakes!

Danny and Sandy are 9 week old babes that came from a litter of 9, and accidental litter 🤦🏻‍♀️ Mama was a Golden Retriever, daddy unknown. Unfortunately, they were kept in a boarding facility situation and are already fighting coccidia and giardia. The last thing we needed or wanted were puppies, but a few other local rescues jumped in and if we all just took a couple, we could help with this very bad situation.

And our third kid came to us today his name is Goose. He is an 8 month old cavadoodle, in desperate need of structure and training.

It seems like every other phone call or text these days is to surrender a pet or desperate help for a dog in need. We are absolutely busting at the seams, financially burdened, tired, and overwhelmed! We are doing the best we can with medical dogs, sick puppies, seniors, while still navigating our daily logistics.

We need HELP! We need fosters, adopters, donations, help with transport. If you feel you might be able to help give back please help us to help them 🙏🏻

PUPDATE - We have received an overwhelming response and over a dozen foster applications for Goose 🙌🏻 We are confident we will be able to choose one and maybe even be able to save some more lives with all these fabulous foster offers! We are so grateful thankful for your support! And please note there are so many in need right now! Fosters SAVE lives!

+++++++++++

FOSTER NEEDED for Goose!

This kid is an 8/mo old Cavapoo! Unfortunately family no longer has time for him, and has asked us to take him on.

Goose will need a foster with patients that can help him to learn boundaries, potty train, leash train, crate train. He is good with other dogs and kids.

Foster applications available online at… https://saferescueteam.org/foster-application/

We are busting at the seams and need HELP! DONATIONS always desperately needed, graciously accepted and appreciated 🤍

Hot off the press! Great article regarding the reality and current situation at OC Animal Care 🤦🏻‍♀️ Written by a brilliant local animal advocate and human being, Michael Mavrovouniotis. https://app.box.com/s/fsr6yvzjqqnrqcl52qp8movedutdbxl7

OC animal care is a county facility funded by OUR tax dollars, and functioning on a $28 million a year budget. Yet a black hole and death sentence for animals, not to mention zero support for low cost or free spay and neuter programs in the cities it serves!

This is a pic of River. He is a recent oc survivor 🙌🏻 Sprung by SAFE Rescue Team after being hit by a car, made to stay for 3 days stray hold, then tagged for euthanasia due to injuries.

Change is needed!

ADORABLE VIDEO in COMMENTS

These 2 sweet babes were found running loose in HB yesterday. Both scanned, neither of them were chipped nor altered. Unfortunately the finders were unable to hold, (and we weren’t able to come up with a emergency foster) so finders turned them into OC animal pound today 💔

These boys are beyond sweet, and they will need a miracle to make it out that nightmare place alive 🙏🏻

If ANYONE would be interested to foster one of these kids to save their lives, they will have full rescues backing with SAFE Rescue Team 🤍 We will spring them, supply food, crate, any necessities, cover medical, etc. Their lives wholeheartedly dependent on it! *Can (and should be) fostered separately. So we will need 2 fosters.

Just a HUGE THANK YOU for helping us to help them!

We are so thankful and grateful for the kind and generous support we receive on a daily basis! Just today alone we’re blessed by HB’s finest, Paws Chateau with some well needed training, received a call to pick up a crate and beds from an amazing local HB family, and then another kind soul dropped off some food and supplements! Oh and as an extra bonus… I ran into ZZ (now named Olive)! Today was a good day!

On another note, we have received a few generous and well needed supplies via Chewy. Unfortunately they don’t tell us whom to thank 🤦🏻‍♀️ But please know we are so thankful for these extremely needed items!

We could never do it alone! It legitimately takes a village! We are so grateful for all the compassionate humans that help to keep this rescue going every day! Thank you for being part of our small but mighty rescue in village, and the SAFE pack 🙌🏻

6 souls rescued yesterday!

9am - Training class at our fav spot HB’s finest

10am - 2 young pups we committed to from a hoarding, backyard breeder situation. They are said to be American Eskimo puppies.

10:30 am - These 3 manifested from an unexpected litter. They are almost 5 months old and have been living in a very small environment since birth. They were loved, but unfortunately not in a good situation or in good condition. We will be helping to spay the mother who will remain with her family.

Over the next few hours we vaccinated and bathed pups. So much THANKS to for donating bath time and food for these babes! And then we strategically placed them all with our amazing foster families 🫶🏻 Did I mention how grateful we are for our amazing volunteers and fosters?!

Our final rescue for the day was SAFE before noon 🙌🏻 Bruno! This boy had been sitting at Downey shelter for a month and was scheduled for euthanasia today! Of course one of our amazing fosters had been following his journey, and felt very compelled to not let him be killed. So we welcome Bruno to the SAFE pack!

We are utilizing every resource possible to try to help as many as we can, and still keep our heads above water! BUT WE NEED YOU! WE NEED HELP! Every single one of these pups we took in today will need vetting, 3 rounds of vaccines, spay or neuter, and microchip. In order for us to continue to do good rescue and keep the doors open, we NEED DONATIONS! We are not funded by any city or county entity, we are funded by the people and by donations. So many rescues are closing their doors right now because they cannot stay afloat. PLEASE HELP US TO KEEP KEEPING ON 🙏🏻
