Story
I got Max when he was a 5 month old pup. He seemed a bit shy at first, but warmed up to us after some treats. After bringing him home, I noticed within a week that he did not take kindly to strangers. He would need to warm up to everyone he meets, and would fearfully bite any stranger trying to pet him. Fast forward to today, he is now a 14-month-old beautiful looking dog. He is very smart and energetic, and responds well to his commands (sit, stay, come) and is protective and loving to his family, but his fear aggression toward strangers is still very present. He has bitten a couple people and I am fearful of him biting more. One thing to note, however, is that he LOVES other dogs and can play with them all day. Unfortunately, he just has this biting problem that I can't seem to control, and it lowers my confidence as his owner. As much as I love Max, I decided it is best to rehome him to someone who can give him what he needs.

Story
Chloe Hi, my name is Chloe. I am a sweet, gentle and a tiny bit shy girl. I am only shy because I wasn’t very well socialized. I am only seven months old, but I was kept on a chain all my life in a backyard. My previous people didn’t even give me a name. But finally, START Rescue has found me and took me on. I live with Isaac, my dog trainer, who is fabulous and works with me a lot. He taught me how to walk on a leash, how to socialize with other dogs and people. I love all of these by the way!! I am ready to be adopted by a loving family. My wishlist is the following. 1. A family who loves me and I get a lot of ears scratches and belly rubs from 2. A family who enjoys to take walks 3. I want a cozy bed to sleep on and not to be left in a backyard all by myself 4. I enjoy yummy foods and treats.

Story
Every now and again you find the absolute perfect dog in the shelter. Kira was a staff favorite and highly recommended. We had no idea how perfect she was going to be. She is medium energy, house respectful, dog friendly, people friendly and housebroke. She walks well on a leash, and is n absolute joy to be around. She is in the 2 year range and weighs 48 pounds. All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@crdogrescue.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

Story
A5691132 Ginger is a very sweet girl with a bold heart- and with her big spirit comes a vulnerability.  She is guarded and on alert within the chaotic environment of the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center.  She is a shy girl and needs someone to allow her to decompress before you begin to see her true nature.  She is overly stimulated amongst a rowdy environment and prefers a calm, loving atmosphere where she feels safe enough to be her silly, bold self! She is very feminine, distinguished, and ladylike with an undeniable zest to her, you may just have to sit with her a moment for her to reveal all of that to you.   She walks well on a leash, but if you come on too strong, she can be defensive at first.  She prefers to understand her environment before engaging, a sign of special intellect.  She’s a special one.  Come meet Ginger!! Ginger is a spayed female Border Collie mix White and black coat Estimated 6 years old and 45 pounds Reserved and guarded  Once comfortable, very bright and affectionate An observer and explorer at heart Arrived at Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 04-09-25     GINGER’S VIDEO: https://youtube.com/shorts/p3O_   For more information, contact volunteer Lisa at lisaa@unitedhopeforanimals.org   Look up this or other animals at Baldwin Park Animal Care Center https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/view-our-animals/    Use their unique ID NUMBER.
