💚GIZMO is up for adoption 💚 We helped rescue this little bundle of love with our lovely foster parents Maria and Mike. GIZMO has been waiting for a home for way too long :(
➡️Please network and/or contact
Suzy at [email protected] if you are interested in adopting him. 💚Let’s get him into his furever home for the holidays! 🐾🍁
GIZMO is a
Frenchie / Boston terrier. He is 3 years old. Fully vaccinated, neutered, chipped, clean bill of health.
Energetic but also loves cuddles and lounging. Loves car rides, going on errands, walks, hikes, loves people. Gets along with all dogs but because he was in a hoarder situation , he wasn’t allowed a lot of social time and experiences outside of the household. So he would need someone that can show him the ropes with social cues. It should be easy as he’s super smart and wants to please. 🐾 #frenchieloversofinstagram #frenchboston #bostonfrenchie #froston #losangelesdog #losangelesdogs #shermanoaks #hiddenhills #studiocity #adoptdontshop #adoptme #adoptables
💚Up for Adoption!💚 Meet GEO! This adorable 4-year-old, 60-pound lab/pittie mix is looking for a forever home to embrace his shy, sweet, goofy nature and help him continue building confidence. GEO can be a little shy at first, especially in new places and with new faces, but once he warms up, he’s a big-hearted lovebug who just wants to be part of the family.
GEO gets along well with other dogs and he currently lives happily with an 80-pound male pittie and a gentle 14-year-old female pittie.
For his human friends, he is a goofy, affectionate boy who loves to romp around and spread joy.
GEO’s perfect family will have a gentle touch and understand that he may need time to adjust, but once he feels at home, he’ll reward you with endless love, laughter, and loyalty. Are you ready to help GEO blossom and be his true, happy self?

Little kitten found wandering the street by a college student in Redlands was being hidden and cared for in a college dorm with the very kind student looked for a rescue to help him! Eventually he made his way to a START Team member’s home (one who is a dog person and was not equipped to keep him! - hi Terri!) then all the way to Oregon today, along with 12 other critters (of the dog variety)! We were a little worried that kitten was going to be a bit feral and take some time to tame, but as soon as he arrived at a foster home, after some initial hissing and attacking, the Foster put on a YouTube purr soundtrack (a GREAT tip for kitten taming by the way) and kitten immediately decided it needed some human besties! - and all was well! We took this video one hour, one bath and three breakfast meals later! Hungry baby!!
He will head to a longer-term foster home in a couple of days so that he can receive his necessary vaccines, be neutered, and receive any other vetting needed, and then he will be up for adoption in the Portland, Oregon area! We are letting his new fosters name him 🥰
We will send photos of the other animals who arrived today shortly too. Maybe we’ll throw a couple photos from today up in our stories now! 😘 #kittenrescued #collegekitty #redlandsuniversity #collegestudentlife #kittensarelove #tamed #tamingkittens

🚨LA and nearby counties’ shelters are overwhelmed and bursting at the seams with homeless pets. Many animals are living in deplorable conditions with crates upon crates, stacked in hallways and animals receiving a complete lack of care, zero walks, and no improvements on the horizon. We spoke to one county shelter system that is having to euthanize 500 dogs per month. This is really happening to perfectly good little souls.
😢 The Reality:
- Overcrowding: Shelters are beyond capacity, leading to stressful environments for the animals.
- Under resourced: Critical supplies and medical care are lacking.
- MOST CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIALS DONT CARE ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
-Not enough space, kennels, staff, fosters, volunteers, people who care…
- Euthanasia: Over 13,000 animals have been euthanized in LA shelters in the past year alone due to lack of space and resources.
📊 Sobering Statistics:
🚨Daily Intake: On average, 200 animals are brought into LA shelters every day.
Euthanasia Rate: Nearly 40% of the animals taken in are euthanized.
🚨Adoptions: Only about 20% of the animals are adopted.
🐶 How You Can Help:
💚Adopt: If you’re looking for a furry friend, please consider adopting from a shelter.
💚Foster: Temporarily open your home to an animal in need.
💚Help network dogs at a shelter. We recommend helping the @stanislaus_shelter_friends who created all these photos to network these pups.
💚Donate: Funds, supplies, or your time can make a huge difference.
💚Spread the Word: Share this post and raise awareness.
➡️💚Every small action can make a big impact. Let’s work together to give these animals the loving homes they deserve.

🏡💚🐶Chrissy was rescued a few months ago with the expectation that she would find a home real fast! But sometimes rescue has a way of sending you curveballs. She ended up being super pregnant and is now FINALLY home!
She still needs to be spayed, but that’s the last thing to be done on her START Rescue to-do list and she’s ready!
So, 5 babies and 4 months later, she’s getting spoiled in her new home while she waits for her special spay day!!
Question: Do you think she likes toys?
ha she’s hilarious 😁
💚🎉Announcing five happy and healthy babies! We are so grateful that CHRISSY was able to receive care during her labor in the comforts of a home too🏡 She truly needed help to get through it, and what luck that we were able to be there. 💚Oh and what a wonderful mom she is too! She is too cute how after each potty break she rushes back, tail wagging, fast as she can to her babies 💚💚💚💚💚🐶 #goodmama #shelterdogs #shelterdog #corgichi
🚨These babies were found stranded in the orchards 😭
Fortunately, the Bakersfield Strays coalition RAD team had a feeding station nearby to satisfy their hungry tummies and has taken them in and placed them in a SHORT TERM foster home. 🚨Now, we’re on the lookout for a rescue or adopters or new fosters. If you’re interested in helping, head to our Bakersfield Strays Coalition website (link in bio or at bakersfieldstrays.org) and fill out the rescue partner agreement or foster or adoption form. Your help would mean a world of difference to a dog (or two). #bakersfiekdstrayscoalition #savingstrays #cleartheorchards #bakersfield #bakersfieldca #kern #kerncounty #ladogs #dumped #adorablepuppies
🚨FOSTER NEEDED in the LA area.🚨This handsome boy is looking for a foster home! He was rescued with a few others from a breeder who was keeping the dogs outside where they were receiving ZERO socialization. They came to us completely feral. It’s taken time but Toby is finally turning around and ready to get into a home! If you can help him, please contact [email protected] Spread the word, spread the love 💚 #fosterinla
