Story
Meet Mina🩷 Unlike her muscular and sturdy appearance, she is a timid and gentle girl🤣 She is very fearful of people, but she so docile that she let’s people hugs and pet her. When she sees a stranger, she barks. She doesn’t play with other dogs often, but when she does, she plays really well! Being timid, she used to get attacked by other dogs, but she gets along well with other dogs now. 😃

FOSTER ME! Hello I am Chardonnay and I am looking for a LOVING HOME! I was left to fend for myself at a 7-11 in a not so nice area and I waited and waited and WAITED for my person to come back for me. I looked and looked, and wandered and people saw me hanging out for a LONG time so thankfully a human ANGEL got me into their car and called another human ANGEL to help me out by paying for my vetting and paying to board me at an animal hospital until a foster home can be found. I was never micropchipped and flyers were put up at all of the pounds and where I was found and online but it was obvious that I was DUMPED. CAN YOU FOSTER ME PLEASE? OR BETTER YET-ADOPT ME! I am very pretty and very sweet and I have SO MUCH LOVE to give to EVERYONE I meet! I am a 2 year old pitfall (maybe a mix-who knows) and I love to snuggle and have very soft and pretty fur and I weigh aprox 50 pounds. Do you think I can go live with you??? if so fill out an application at www.bulliesandbuddies.com and let's meet up! I am in the Southern CA area-sorry but my rescue does not adopt out of state

Story
**COURTESY POST** SAN FERNANDO/VALLEY AREA/LOS ANGELES Hello Nova here so fab to meet you! I'm a 1 year old 60 pound utterly gorgeous female Rottie/Pit/Mastiff mix and my life had a pretty terrible start I was given away as a puppy as a TIP to a pizza delivery person. Can you believe that? GIVEN. AWAY. AS. A. TIP. Is that what this world has come to? Well this person had no idea what to do with me, he couldn't just set me loose so he drove to a breeder and gave me to them. oh boy. Well guess what? After a while they didn't want me either because they couldn't sell me (so many terrible people out there) and they were gonna dump me at the pound. 😭😭 What were the chances of a black mixed breed dog getting out of that place alive? SLIM TO NONE This nice rescue stepped up and promised to find me a HOME, a place where I will be wanted, loved and never treated like an object to be traded/sold again! 💓😇 I've got a stunning black coat and surely will be the envy of your neighbors and friends! I would make an active person a great running/hiking partner, am great with other dogs, love to cuddle and snuggle, walk superb on a leash, am house and crate trained and I just love everyone! Because these former humans didn't treat me so well I am looking for a home with someone who has bully/power breed experience to give me the direction and structure that I never got before. Think I'm the one for YOU? If so please reach out to doghousebullycrew@gmail.com and put NOVA in the subject line and let's get together! **I also am looking for a FOSTER home too (San Fernando/Valley area) maybe I can hang out with you for a bit? 🙏 I am in the SoCal area-sorry but my rescue does NOT adopt out of state.

Story
Hello Kind Humans I am Odie and here's my story! Someone dumped me on the streets of Redondo where I was utterly terrified and I ran, and I ran and I RAN for over a week straight dodging cars and literally starving to death, MANY people tried to catch me to get me to safety but I was so SCARED no one could. Until..... The day came when I was so sick and EXHAUSTED that I just collapsed on the pier and it was only then that a COMPASSIONATE Lady was able to pick me up, put me in her car and rush me to the closest vet (Thank You to HER and to VCA Hermosa 🩷) I was in awful shape so the hospital kept me and got me healthy while every effort was made for a month to find my owner. Sadly, no one ever responded to posts or flyers-it was so obvious I was not wanted anymore 😭 (oh yeah, I had no ID on and was not neutered or chipped-shocker!) They didn' want me going to the pound so they asked this rescue to help me out by getting me into training and finding me a home where I will be kept SAFE and LOVED. I am a 1 year old male STUNNING brindle Pittie mix and weigh 50 pounds Even tho I've now been with a fabulous trainer for a month and I am still slowly building my confidence I am still afraid of some people and certain noises but I just KNOW that there's a special human out there who is patient and who can help me learn that the world is not such a scary place! I'm also great with other dogs and cats and I NEED to be in a quiet adult only home that has a balanced dog or dogs so I can learn from them too! I also am excellent on a leash and know command and am crate trained! Do you think that you can be my FOREVER HUMAN? If so please go to www.bulliesandbuddies.com and fill out an application to make me yours! I look forward to meeting you! I am in the Southern CA area-sorry but my rescue does NOT adopt out of state

**COURTESY POST*** Hello Kind Humans my name is Lucky and I am in DIRE need of somewhere to go! I am an 10 month old cute and sweet male pittie mix and here's whats going on! I was living at a recycle facility but the owner of the place wanted me gone so a kind human grabbed me before they set me loose on the streets. Unfortunately they can't keep me and they have no way to contain me so they are keeping me tied up in their yard. They do have 2 little dogs and I'm good with them, I'm super friendly and know basic commands like sit, speak and paw and guess what? I know them in English and Spanish! Also.... I HAVE THE BEST AND BIGGEST SMILE! I haven't been neutered yet but that is being figured out, I can't get fixed until I find a rescue and a foster home as I can't be staying outside after the snip. Right now I'm in the Gardena area of SoCal but these people will figure out transport if there's a good rescue who can take me in as long as its in the SoCal area. Can you HELP me at all? I know that allll of the pounds are full and so are all of the rescues 😭😭💔 The contact for me is Marcela chinabby@gmail.com please reach out if I can come stay at your place I WILL BE EVER SO GRATEFUL! Thank you lots! Love, Lucky

**SAN PEDRO-COURTESY POST FOR A DESERVING SHELTER DOG** Hi Everyone, Chicken Nugget AKA Canelo here, can you HELP A DOGGO OUT ? I have been living in a crate in the lobby at the Harbor Shelter in San Pedro for over 7 months now and I am losing HOPE! ? Every day. All Day long. People walk by me. Once in a while they glance at me. A few times people actually smiled at me or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. I sit here EVERY. DAY. WAITING. It's been MONTHS. And no one has taken me home. I get it. I'm not a white floofy dog, or have a fancy merle coat, or blue eyes, and I'm not a puppy I'm just a brown-ish pitbull with a defeated look on my face. I see soooo many people all day every day but NO ONE seems to see ME. I'm so very sad. I don't want to die here after all this time of waiting. And Longing. I dream of leaving thru the front door and sniffing the grass. I dream of a home with a yard where I can sunbathe or frolic. I dream of sleeping in a bed in an actual HOME. I dream of going on walks. And....I DREAM OF A KIND HUMAN WALKING INTO THIS PLACE AND TAKING ME HOME. Are YOU that Human? HURRY UP! YOU CAN FIND ME HERE!: Canelo ID #A2094750 Male 3-6 years old Weight 60 lbs Intake July 13, 2023 Harbor Animal Shelter 957 North Gaffey Street San Pedro, CA 90731 Direct Line 310-548-2632 Closed Monday Tues - Fri 8am-5pm Sat & Sun 11am-5pm laanimalservices.com If you want more info on me please go like the https://www.facebook.com/ARFharborshelter and send them a message!
