It was a āno-dog nightā. Time set aside for stress-free fun! Happy Halloween š
Oh, Happy Day!! Rangerās no longer in danger!!! He was adopted yesterday by a wonderful family in Long Beach! Thank you to all who shared his story and who reached out to us to help. The Long Beach shelter volunteers and staff were incredible in responding to our many text messages and emails to give us a few more days to find a home and to coordinate meet-and-greets with our boy. A personal āgraciasā to Jen who was a soldier in helping us network and who pointed Rangerās family to us ā¤ļø
This was another stressful and time-consuming save but there are so many more dogs like Ranger who are overlooked and who deteriorate in their kennels. Weāre ready to fight for more dogs. Are you ready to help us?
UPDATE: 12/1/22 We were in the midst of setting up a meet and greet today with a potential foster but then were told that Kashaās current owner gave her to a family member š¤·āāļø Hoping this sweet girl is safe and well-loved.
PUPPY LOVE!! FURever meeting this beautiful 6-month old Belgian Malinois for the first time. Weāre looking for a foster š„° Any takers?!

WHAT THE FLUFF?! Why this 2-year old 45 lb female Lab / German Shepherd mix hasnāt been snatched up is beyond us! Shayne has gone through training, gets along well with other dogs, is highly intelligent, loves people with good energy, loves to play in water (of course, sheās part lab) and thinks sheās a lap dog.
We met her on Tuesday and sheās as wonderful as advertised š„° There are so many paw-sibilities with Shayne. She would make a great running, hiking or adventure buddy. If you have a high-energy dog, sheād help your dog burn off some energy cuz she loves to run and play. After you and her get some exercise, sheāll cuddle and love on you.
To top it off, Outta the Cage, a very reputable dog rescue here in SoCal, will pay for any vet bills and supplies, as well as help you continue her training and transition her into your home!

Long Beach shelter staff working with Max
UPDATE: We tried but we were unable to save beautiful Max.
Max is a 3 year old male German Shepherd currently at the Long Beach shelter, and Iām sad to say has been scheduled for euthanasia in a couple of days. Maxās story is similar to many others like himā¦mistreated, lacking confidence and then surrendered by his owner.
Max was very nervous when he arrived at the shelter, and once he was confined to his kennel he was cautious of everyone and alarm barking at people who approached his kennel. He was extremely frightened by direct eye contact and would instantly freeze expecting something bad to happen. The staff and volunteers at the shelter have been able to help him overcome some of his anxiety but he is still nervous of physical touch by people he doesnāt know, which limits his options for public adoption and has now placed him on the euthanasia list.
According to the owner surrender notes, Max lived with children in his prior home and is noted as being gentle with them. He also lived with another dog in the home and has been receptive to other friendly dogs at the shelter, but when he was a few months old he was attacked by an off-leash dog and as a result can be reactive to other dogs that display reactive/aggressive behavior towards him. We donāt know the details of Maxās untrusting behavior but regardless he needs to be in a place where an experienced handler can continue to work with him.
We have a rescue interested in sponsoring him but need a foster who has experience with behavior dogs. This is a tough ask but weāre putting it out there!
Max only has until Tuesday so this is urgent. If you or someone you know is capable and interested in helping Max, pls message me or go to www.Foster2Furever.com to fill out our questionnaire.
No time to waste, share his story, ACT NOW!
PUPDATE: Adopted 1/28/22!!
Part beagle, part cinnamon latte, Harlequin is a sweet little hound who pines for love. The Long Beach shelter calls her āHarleyā but the name tag she had on her collar when she arrived said āHarlequinā so thatās that!
Harlequin is a beautiful one year old, weighs about 55-60 lbs and was surrendered by her family. Can you believe it?! Who would hand over this sweet bundle of joy to a kill shelter?! š
Harlequin is so happy to meet everyone, and will greet you with a wagging tail and wiggling body. She loves affection and will do anything for a belly rub and a squeaky toy. She also seems to be dog friendly, so if youāre looking for a companion for your dog, here she is!
If interested in adopting her, email [email protected] to set up an appointment for āHarley ID A664958ā. (BTW the Shelter is severely understaffed so if you donāt hear back in 2 days, let me know and Iāll help get you an appointment.)
As another option, I have a rescue who is interested in sponsoring her so if youāre interested in fostering, pls contact Foster2Furever.com. We can share more info about this beauty and the fostering process.
Brambleās Freedom Walk!
Our boy Bramble from Long Beach shelter is on his way to an amazing rescue!
