My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Finley! Finley is a friendly and easygoing cutie-patootie who still has a lot of pep in his step. Finley is about 12-years-old and weighs 12-lbs. He is great with other dogs and with kids; we have not seen him with cats. He enjoys slow leisurely walks, treats, and lots of petting and attention.

Finley has congestive heart failure and requires daily medications, which he takes easily. Finley has 'hypoxic episodes' which give him seizure-like presentations. He cannot be allowed to get too excited or walk too much. There is no therapy to control these episodes other than rest and good circulation.

Finley is neutered, up to date on shots, blood work, fecal tested and microchipped.

Adoption process includes application, interview, home visit, contract, and donation.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Each potential adopter of any animal is required to go through an adoption process that includes an application, contract and interview with one or more of our members. We make sure the potential adopter is aware of the medical, training and social needs of the animal; whether it is a growing puppy or an older animal. If the individual is approved, we will perform a home check to make sure that animal is going to a safe and good environment. The adopter agrees to return the animal to us at any point during their lifetime if they intend to give it up. We are committed to finding these animals great homes and screen our applicants very carefully.

More about this rescue

Thousands of animals are euthanized each year in the Los Angeles City Shelters. This staggering figure does not even include all other surrounding LA County shelters. Most of these animals were highly adoptable and have something in common: they have medical conditions such as broken legs, tumors, eye problems, skin issues or illness. These animals have been hit by cars, abused, or suffered serious neglect, or they are abandoned mothers with litters of unweaned puppies.

These shelter animals face an uncertain future. H.E.L.P assists adopters who are interested in a sick, elderly or injured shelter animal, but are discouraged by the potential high veterinary costs. We also assist individuals who adopt from the shelters and discover that their animal has a medical condition after adoption. We arrange for the animal to receive veterinary care and offer financial assistance to the adopter. If the adopter has already arranged for the animal to receive medical care, we reimburse the costs upon receipt of the veterinary bill and proof of treatment.
