On June 6, 2026, we rescued 15 year old Chloe, #a5778501 from the downey shelter. She came in as a stray, but she had an old microchip number. Her birthdate is listed as April 1, 2011. no joke, she's fifteen years old and was dumped at the shelter! Thankfully, we found a most wonderful foster who's willing to give her the best of the rest of her life. We named her challah, which is bread in hebrew. She saw our veterinarian and her bloodwork was surprisingly good! We know she needs to gain weight. She also has a little bit of separation anxiety, so we're working on that. Its very typical for dogs when they first get out of the shelter. Thankfully our foster is patient and loving and helping challah feel comfortable and realize she is hit the jackpot with this home. Challah's foster is so smitten with her, that she adopted her on June 10, 2026!

Saturday, September 6, 2025, was a great day. We rescued this "rescue only" very old chihuahua. Meet Chinchilla, aka Baby, #a4114885, from the Downey shelter! This poor 16 year old dog was brought to the shelter as a "stray" on August 23rd. He has an old ID# so was in the shelter once before. He is blind and has no teeth. Oddly, he was found with sutures and drains in his neck. It looks like he was bitten by another dog. We will never know what happened to him. But we do know that he's very sensitive about being touched around his neck. The shelter did remove the stitches and the drains. his neck is healing up very nicely. But he's still blind and has no teeth. The shelter said his prognosis was poor and sent out an urgent medical alert on him. We had a foster, reach out to us and say she could foster, so of course we jumped at the opportunity to get him out of the shelter and give him the bes of the rest of his life. We don't know what time he has left, but we know that every day will be awesome. Chinchilla was at a foster home with other dogs. Someone who worked where chinchilla lives fell in love with him and adopted him on June 5, 2026! We are so happy for chinchilla. His new owner said, chinchilla deserves a couch of his own!

Today was better than great! This amazing, sweet, friendly dog is rosa,#a2264950. We renamed her Chipper. She almost wasn't saved. This dog was on her radar, and we were waiting to find a foster. Yesterday staff from the shelter called and said that rosa's deadline was 4 PM on Tuesday. They wanted to know if we could pull her. However, they left the message on my home phone and not my cell phone.i dont check those messages as often. Good thing I checked the machine at 630am. Once i heard the message, I scrambled to get a foster and transport. I had both secure before 8am and contacted shelter staff to verify we could pull her. I only hoped I wasn't too late. And I was not! We rescued her!
Chipper has an amazing foster. She saw the vet today we started her on medicine for the glaucoma in her eye. The medicine did not do much to help the discomfort with her eye. She is scheduled to have her removed in June, 2026. In the meantime, the foster and her family love chipper and want to give her a forever home. So she was adopted on May 30, 2026.
