Urgent Dogs of Palm Beach County

A networking site providing exposure for dogs at our county open admission shelter PBC ACC FLORIDA Hours: M-F 11 - 6. Sat 10-5. Sun 11- 4.

We believe that every dog entering our county open admission shelter deserves to be seen and shared. We post (intake) pictures of pets entering our county shelter system and follow their stay in the system from intake until ultimately they are adopted, returned to owner, rescued or euthanized (outcome). Here you will find dogs (and sometimes other county pets) that entered the Palm Beach County

shelter system who are at risk of euthanasia. Pets here that are not claimed by their owner within the hold period (stray dogs are held for 4 days) become property of Palm Beach Animal Care and Control; and may be placed in the adoption or foster program, transferred to a partner organization, or humanely euthanized base on medical and/or behavior evaluations. Although not every dog posted here is in immediate danger, circumstances in an open admission shelter environment can change very quickly! PBC ACC is our only county run open admission / municipal facility. Sadly, Palm Beach Animal Care and Control also works with EXTREMELY limited funding and resources. Therefore this a TEMPORARY place for Palm Beach County's lost, discarded, and neglected pets. They need help today and every day!

*** PLEASE CONTACT PBC ACC DIRECTLY TO RESCUE OR ADOPT * To ADOPT you must go to the shelter in person, complete an application.

Kobe - Urgent Rescue Pickup Needed by Friday, December 13th @ 6.00 p.m.
Handsome big boy Kobe was originally surrendered in September 2024. The previous owner said that Kobe is housebroken and good with other dogs. This big boy was adopted again, then found tied to a fence in a parking lot.
Staff notes: The vet was listening to Kobe’s heart during an exam, and he gave her a warning growl before snapping at her. He also reportedly snapped at people in the field when he was first called in. Before she listened to his heart, his body language was loose and curious with a wagging tail. She was listening to his heart for a few seconds but he was getting wiggly and panting. The doctor moved the stethoscope to another part of his chest, and he let out a low growl and had a stiff body. The doctor tried slowly moving away from him, but he quickly turned to her and snapped at her, catching part of her sleeve and jacket. He was still lunging towards her when the kennel tech who was assisting with the exam pulled Kobe back.
Other staff notes report that he is a sweet and friendly dog. During processing in the clinic for his vaccines and treatment, he was friendly and cooperative.
Behavior: Due to this event, the behavior team formally assessed him. He had soft eyes, neutral ears, and a wiggly body and tail. When B&E came to his kennel, he was jumping around and play bowing. He was excited to go out and once they got out in the yard, he was allowing pets all over. Kobe saw another staff member and was pulling towards her on the leash, but once Kobe and his handler approached her, she was able to pet him all over.
Request to rescues: Kobe needs urgent rescue due to his unpredictable behavior during his clinical exam. Kobe doesn’t seem to like restraint. During the vet exam, he had friendly body language and it quickly turned into snapping

What does CAP 4 CARE mean on a dogs euthanization description?

Capacity for care means they don’t have space for the dog so they died for Palm Beach County’s inability to provide enough resources for homeless pets. Remember there was a 1/2 a penny tax voted on to go to the shelter and most of the taxpayers said no- they wanted to keep their half a penny. It’s a disgrace. Wealthiest zip codes in the country.

Terrified little girl Jemima - Urgent Rescue Pickup Needed by Saturday, December 7th @ 5.00 p.m. FAS (fear, anxiety and stress), painful bilateral ear infections, multiple fractured teeth.

Intake Info: This girl was sadly dumped at a local partner organization along with two other dogs. According to the responding officer, Jemima was being disruptive on scene, was growling and charging at staff and was going after one of the other dogs.

Medical: She has a high level of FAS (fear, anxiety and stress), bilateral ear infections now under treatment and multiple fractured teeth.

She is demonstrating wary behavior - whale eyes, paw lifting, lip licking, backing away.

After spending some quality time with the Kennel team, she finally warmed up enough to allow for a slow and gentle exam. It was a very limited oral exam and she appeared to want to be friendly, but is still highly skittish.

Although shy and timid, she did well for her processing. She is vaccinated and heartworm negative.

Behaviors Observed: Behavior assessment has been requested and is pending.

Request to Rescues: This scared girl needs urgent rescue help due to her fearful behavior and her medical issues. She’s going to need extraction or dental treatment to address her fractured teeth with a private veterinarian or veterinary dentist. She has been on treatment with FAS medications and Carprofen to improve comfort, and this may need to be continued as she transitions to a new environment.

This poor girl was abandoned and so, as much as anything, she needs a safe, quiet and calm space to decompress and to feel loved.

Easy going dog friendly beautiful girl Mercedez #A1777652 heard that her family was going to euthanize her and ran! She came in with her St Bernard sibling and they need help! Urgent Rescue Pickup Needed by Friday, November 15th @ 6:00 p.m. Intake Info: Mercedez was found running loose a mile away from her owner’s residence with a slight limp and some masses along her body. After the ACO met with the owner over the phone, the owner stated they were planning to euthanize Mercedez before she went missing. Then, she would like to surrender Mercedez to ACC due to their moving and inability to care for her. Medical: Mercedez is heartworm positive at a high level. There are multiple firm masses on her right and left hind legs and right back, some hairless, and she misses all incisors with some moderate calculus to the molars. Mercedez is spayed and vaccinated, currently hookworm positive, and under treatment. Staff Notes: Mercedez is bright and alert. She is shy but friendly, good for processing, and she ate meds well. Volunteer Notes: Mercedez is easy to leash and walk through the kennel. She was affectionate in the yard with our volunteer; she is easygoing and enjoyed playing with another dog, possibly housebroken. Request to Rescues: Senior lady Mercedez came to ACC for some sad reasons. She is a friendly girl who enjoys spending time with our clinic staff and volunteers. We want to find Mercedez a loving home that can adore her young spirit and provide her with a complete health check with a private vet for her medical needs. She deserves to spend her golden years with people who care and cherish her. 🐕‍🦺 Located at PBC Florida ACC 📍7100 Belvedere Road West Palm Beach, Fl. 33411 📞 Main Phone: (561) 233-1200 🚑 Partner Rescues log in to SNAP to place hold 🏡 Adopters must go to shelter in person #UDOPBC #doglove #onedogpbc #fosterdog #countydog #PBCACC #dog #hobesound #palmbeachgardens #shelterdog #junobeach #rescuepup #palmbeach #jupiterflo

Sweet momma dog needs help! “Piglet” #A2218486 Needs Urgent Rescue by Sun. 11/10 @ 3 pm

Rainbow made her way back here all the way from Georgia just to find out her family didn’t want her. 🌈#A2217661 Urgent Rescue Pickup Needed by Saturday, November 9th @ 5:00 p.m. Intake Info: The source found Rainbow running near a Mobile gas station in the WPB area. We scanned her for a microchip, registered to a lady who had moved to GA. The registered owner stated she and her ex gave Rainbow to the Humane Society located in GA; with the given phone numbers, our customer service tried to call the office but was unsuccessful. The owner knew that ACC had no success with the Humane Society; she wanted to surrender Rainbow to us. Rainbow was strong, friendly, and over and beyond happy during intake. Medical: Rainbow is heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, and spayed. Behavior Observed: From the past playgroup sessions, Rainbow was vocalized and tried to jump and be mouthy on dogs who were not paying attention to her. Our B&E staff could not steer her with the aversive training tools even when she was muzzled. Staff Notes: Rainbow is a sweet girl with high energy. Volunteer Notes: These are notes from our volunteer who works with Rainbow on some basic training. Rainbow makes good eye contact and will fetch a tennis ball, although she has a higher desire for soft toys. She would toss the treat away to retrieve the soft toy. Rainbow will do “sit” and “down.” She takes treats gently and was treated when she checked in and sat quietly. Pick up her leash with no issue. Our volunteer also works with Rainbow on healing, recalls, etc. #A2217661 Spayed Female 46 lbs. 2 Years 10/20/2024 🐕‍🦺 Located at PBC Florida ACC 📍7100 Belvedere Road West Palm Beach, Fl. 33411 📞 Main Phone: (561) 233-1200 🚑 Partner Rescues log in to SNAP to place hold 🏡 Adopters must go to shelter in person #UDOPBC #doglove #onedogpbc #fosterdog #countydog #PBCACC #dog #hobesound #palmbeachgardens #shelterdog #junobeach #rescuepup #palmbeach #jupiterfloridalife #rescue

Senior boy left tied up in his yard crawled under the fence looking for help Trouble #A2217799 Urgent Rescue Pickup Needed by Saturday, November 9th @ 5:00 p.m. Staff Notes: During processing, Trouble was very scared; they were able to leash him, and he got in and out of the kennel. His body was stiff, and occasional whale eyes. He showed teeth after they finished processing. He allowed the staff to pet all over his body but was head-shy and started to stiffen when they reached over or around his head infrequently and with sudden movements. He took treats gently; his favorite is pepperoni. Request to Rescues: Trouble came to ACC from a Good Samaritan who noticed he was in poor condition; as a senior boy, Trouble had been through a rough past. Now, we want to help Trouble find a good, loving home, start a new journey with people who can cherish him, and work with a professional trainer with his dog reactivity. 🐕‍🦺 Located at PBC Florida ACC 📍7100 Belvedere Road West Palm Beach, Fl. 33411 📞 Main Phone: (561) 233-1200 🚑 Partner Rescues log in to SNAP to place hold 🏡 Adopters must go to shelter in person #UDOPBC #doglove #onedogpbc #fosterdog #countydog #PBCACC #dog #hobesound #palmbeachgardens #shelterdog #junobeach #rescuepup #palmbeach #jupiterfloridalife #rescuedogsrock
