Washbourne arrived to the shelter on 2/20/24 after being abandoned at an urgent care center with a moderate injury and open wound to his left hind leg. Washbourne needed multiple staples with a drainage tube, luckily it does not appear any injuries were sustained to his ligaments or muscles and should hopefully make a full recovery over time.
However, Washbourne is going to be facing a lengthy stay at the shelter until he is in proper shape and would be available for adoption. Long Beach Animal Care Services is actively looking for help through rescue or foster to give Washbourne a #LegUp on getting his Leg-Up and recovered until he's ready for a place to call home. If you or someone you know can help please contact the shelter at 562.570.3080 or AnimalRescue@longbeach.gov

ADOPTION POLICY
The adoption process at OC Shelter Pets is relatively simple. We require an application and a home visit by one of our dedicated OC Shelter Pets volunteers. Once your application and home visit is reviewed by our Board, you will be notified in writing of our decision.
REVIEW OF APPLICATION
The team at OC Shelter Pets reviews all adoption and foster applications and if approved will notify you and reach out to you over the phone to discuss potential dogs that will fit the needs of your home as well as our adoption fees. Please note that all adoption fees go towards the care of our rescued animals, all animals are spayed/neutered prior to being adopted and current on all vaccines.
HOME VISIT
We need all family members available for the home visit for any potential adopters or fosters. This gives us a chance to talk about rescue, learn about your lifestyle and your expectations for your rescued animal. If you have existing pets, this gives us an opportunity to meet them as well. We will also check the home to ensure it is safe for the animal, we will check the backyard area, gates, fences and screen doors (if applicable).
THE PERFECT FIT
Upon approval, we will start reaching out to our foster homes and describe your situation and what dog we believe will best fit your home. We will also look within the dogs at OC Shelter Pets Headquarters and determine who best fits your home dynamics. We will then coordinate a time for you to meet the dog. Please be patient as this is an "adoption process" and we want to ensure that our dogs are successful in their forever homes.
ADOPTION AGREEMENT
OC Shelter Pets will take back any animal that is adopted out, per the adoption agreement - the animal will automatically be taken back into rescue and the adopter will be in violation of the agreement if the animal is taken to a shelter or given away.
