June is now over halfway through. While we met our fundraising goal to cover Joey’s adoption fee, we still have not received a single application.😢

As a reminder, our JUNE FOR JOEY adoption special is underway. Thanks to the support of our GLAR community, your donations will grant his future adopter a ✨FREE✨ adoption fee. Joey’s incredible foster has personally donated veterinary care, training, and countless supplies to Joey. She has invested so much into this little guy and wants nothing more than to find him his forever family. We do, too.

Help our JUNE FOR JOEY adoption special keep its momentum with your likes, comments, and shares. Joey really needs them! ❤️

We had encountered this little guy on several online platforms and were motivated to provide assistance. However, our inability to secure a foster commitment for at least six months hindered our ability to do so. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Sarah, who has graciously offered to foster this little guy. Her exceptional dedication was evident when she drove to Front Street Animal Shelter to retrieve him. His shelter name was Krispy Kreme, but we have renamed him Otis, which we believe is a suitable choice. Due to his complex medical needs, we are exploring various treatment options and will consult an ophthalmologist before making a decision. As always, we appreciate your support and donations, which are vital to our mission. Every contribution, regardless of size, is valued. Donations can be made via Venmo at Gunters Legacy, Zelle at info@gunterslegacy, or www.gunterslegacy.org.

Available Carlos… still waiting. 🥹
(Pomona, CA 🔜 Sacramento, CA)

Adoptions remain at an all-time low. Sweet little Carlos has been patiently waiting in his Pomona, CA foster home with zero interest. 💔

Sometimes, a change of scenery makes all the difference. That’s why we’re hoping to move Carlos north in search of his forever family.

✨ Carlos is a tiny guy at just 5-ish lbs. We’re looking for a foster home in or near Sacramento, CA to help him on this next step. Could that be you? Apply to foster Carlos here:

Archie is having a fantastic time with his new sister, Luna.

15/06/2025

We've been holding onto a secret 🤐, but today we're overjoyed to announce that after carefully reviewing around 100 applications and countless emails, texts, and calls regarding this little guy, Archie has found his perfect match! He had a blast at the beach and loved every second. Then he met his new family, human and canine, and it was a joyful celebration. Congratulations to Rachael, Michael, Opal, Luna, and Archie! Welcome to our GLAR family of adopters. Thank you to Ellen Bryson, Archie's fantastic foster, as well as Trixie, Haley, and Pic. Ellen and her husband kindly drove Archie to his new home.

Meet Simba, a testament to the power of perseverance. This plucky pup's story began in a Northern California shelter, followed by adoption and an unexpected journey to Livermore. Despite being rejected by his adopters and moved to several foster homes Simba's resilience shines through.

Annemarie's (foster) compassion is giving Simba a second chance. As he decompresses we learnmore about him, Simba will take some time to overcome past traumas, learning to trust, and shedding anxiety. With expert support from Debbie DeMello and veterinary care, Simba's transformation will inspire us all.

Donations are always needed and appreciated, www.gunterslegacy.org

Poor Carlos! He attempts to woo Daisy, but she turns into Cujo around him. On the other hand, she shamelessly flings herself at Dewey.

Carlos is the Chihuahua 🤣🤣🤣

Can you help? We just rescued Birdie from Bradshaw Animal Shelter. When she arrived, she was matted and covered in foxtails. They were even in her ears and had burrowed into her skin. She needs a dental. Our foster picked her up this afternoon and says she's already warming up. We'll give her time to decompress. She was terrified at the shelter.

Donations are greatly appreciated and the only way we can continue to save dogs like Birdie.

Donations can be made through our website at www.gunterslegacy.org or through zelle @gunterslegacy.org or through Venmo at

TRANSFER RESCUE GRP

Timid Birdie (A892401) desperately needs a rescue hero! This petite female white Maltese/Poodle mix arrived at the shelter in rough shape—severely matted and full of painful foxtails. Thanks to our veterinary team, Birdie is starting to heal physically, but emotionally she’s still overwhelmed. The shelter environment is just too much for her, and she’s been very defensive with new people—she’s even tried to bite when feeling scared. But there’s a different side to Birdie: around other dogs, she truly shines. Her whole demeanor softens and she’s eager to play! Birdie needs a quiet, patient environment where she can take things at her own pace, build confidence, and ideally have a friendly canine buddy to help her feel safe. She’s not an easy case—but for the right rescue, she could be a deeply rewarding companion. You can see this gal in the video below:

Pomona, CA 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Huge thanks to all the generous donors who contributed to Winnie's grooming; he was transformed yesterday by Hair Of The Dog in Claremont, CA. They made him look absolutely stunning once again. 🐾 Winnie is a 12-year-old Lhasa Apso, weighing 16 pounds, and is loving, potty trained, crate trained, quiet, leashed trained, and an all-around great little dog. If you're interested in meeting Winnie, please review our 'how to adopt' at www.gunterslegacy.org/adopt

Your support and generosity can make a real difference. We have 4 outstanding bills at four different veterinarians. If you'd like to contact them directly to make a payment, that would be a huge help. Or if you'd prefer to make a donation to the Rescue and earmark it for veterinary expenses, that would be wonderful too.
