<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">here are two very sweet older dogs that need our help that are in danger of being put down. My friend Sarah reached out to me to get them in front of as many people as possible in order to find them a new home or foster, </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kala'ea is a 12 yr old German Shepherd who is in great condition, she just needs to be spayed and she has arthritis. I am taking her to the vet today to get her x-rayed and pain meds. Wednesday is a 9 yr old pit/lab who has a cancerous tumor and they could not afford surgery. There is nothing being done to help her. I am also taking her to the vet today to see if there is any medicine they could give her to help her stay comfortable. She also has extreme skin allergies.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">These dogs are like her children. They are the kindest, most loving, lazy, sweet souls you will ever, EVER meet. </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The owner is moving and has chosen not to take the dogs. Sarah is a kind hearted soul who is putting it all put there to help get these two adopted. As she already has two dogs, she cannot take in another two in her current living arrangements. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In her own words:" All I want is for these dogs to be okay, for them to be comfortable, and happy, and get lots of hugs and be fed and given their meds. That is all they need. They are so sweet and they are both doing great, they just need a home. And a little TLC."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">He has a sweet temperament and a real lap dog, he just wants to be cuddled but does not do well with small children and large dogs.

<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">Snickers</span></b> has hit a patch of bad luck. Despite being a loving, loyal guy all of his 13 years, he's being put out because his owner feels they can no longer care for him and their soon to be arriving child.<br />

If there's a place in your home and heart for this old soul, he sure would appreciate the hand.<br />

<span style="color: #7f6000; font-size: x-large;"><b>Simba</b></span> and Casey have been together since he was eight weeks old when she adopted him from the Spokane Humane society. Unfortunately she's moving overseas and cannot take him, but very much cares about him and wants to do the right thing by finding him a new home.<br />
<br />
Simba is 7 years old and I have had him his whole life. I adopted him from Spokane Humane Society when he was about 8 weeks old.<br />
<br />
Here's what she has to say about her long time companion:<br />
<i>"Simba is a male Chow Chow/Australian Shepherd mix. He's looking for a new loving forever home with a kind and patient owner. I adopted him when he was 2 months old from the Spokane Humane Society. Unfortunately I am moving overseas, and can not take him with me. He's moved with me from Washington to California and back, but this time it's just not possible to take him. He's a wonderful dog and it breaks my heart to have to re-home him. I am looking for an owner that will give this dog a forever home, so that he may live out the rest of his days with a family that loves him, cares for him, and understands him just as much (or more) than I do."</i><br />
<br />
He gets along great with cats, but would do best in a home without other dogs or small children. He does fine with small doses of kids and dogs, just not living with them. This guy prefers a quiet and peaceful home with laid back owners. <br />
<br />
<i>"Simba is a mellow senior dog that likes to lay in the sun and watch the birds and squirrels outside, take long naps, and go on short walks. He enjoys gentle play time, ear scratches, and hugs. He's a tried and true assistant chef that will keep your kitchen floor nice and clean! He walks well on a leash, and has basic training. He's very well behaved and pays attention/listens well to commands.</i><br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<i>Simba is a minor special needs dog, and he requires an extra special owner that understands him and will be willing to work with him and his needs. He is in very good health overall, but he can have slight urinary incontinence overnight. He does fine during the day when he can be let out every couple of hours. However, at night he wears a reusable male wrap diaper just in case of accidents. If you're able and willing to get up and let him out in the middle of the night, you won't ever have to worry about this problem. (I usually let him out 4-4.5 hours after I go to sleep and I never wake up to a wet diaper in the morning). The diaper is recommended for use overnight (just in case) or if you're out of the house and he's left indoors for more than 2-3 hours at a time.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>He is mostly an indoor dog, and doesn't do well with being tied up or left alone outside for long periods of time. He does enjoy the out doors when the weather is nice, but he needs a home that will allow him to live and sleep inside. He was raised in an apartment and does well in any sized home (despite his own size). He is quiet and laid back. He doesn't bark much, but he will alert you to intruders.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Simba is a Chow Chow mix and has the temperament of a Chow. ****Understanding of the breed and patience is required!***** Past history with the breed is even better. He is a sensitive dog that needs a gentle hand (loud scolding, yelling, or hitting just won't do. A soft remark or correction is all he needs). You must be an owner that can respect him and his boundaries. In return, he will respect you 10 fold, and will be the most loyal and loving companion you could ever wish for!"</i><br />
<br />
Casey can be contacted via email at: <a href="mailto:tatawlany@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">tatawlany@gmail.com</a><br />
<br />
It's obvious that they have something special and someone will take a look at this and decide that they are in the right place to have a lovable dog like Simba look over them and vice versa.<br />

Our friend Rae with the Rescue Sister Alliance came across this beauty who was brought in by her owners.<br />
<br />
Her name is <span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">Susie</span>. She was brought in on Monday, 1/28/2013 after fourteen years of being a loving pet. No reason was given, but she's very sweet and has no obvious health or behavioral issues that anyone has noticed.<br />
<br />
She's a special Labrador Retriever who is looking for a nice warm place to sleep. If you're interested in fostering her, you can <a href="mailto:rkf.ofaca@gmail.com" target="_blank">contact the Rescue Sister Alliance through Rae</a>.<br />
<br />
Of course, if you look into Susie's eyes and know that she's the dog for you and you can give her all the loves that she deserves through her golden years then you can contact the shelter directly at:<br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">Griffie</span> is an 11 year old <b>Labrador Retriever</b> who was left at the shelter by his owner with another. The other dog was adopted and Griffie is looking for a place to crash.<br />
<br />
He's house-trained, as gentle as can be, and just loves to be held. He's low-energy, so he's perfect for older folks who are looking for a mellow pet that is happy to get out for a few leisurely walks each day. He's got great leash manners.<br />
<br />
He's great when he's around people, but being in the kennel is taking its toll on him. He gets along with everyone, including other dogs, cats, and children.<br />
<br />
He's had all of his shots, has been neutered, and doesn't have any other health issues that anyone can tell.<br />
<br />
Given a second chance, he's the perfect addition to any pack.<br />
<br />
For more information on how you can meet and either foster or adopt him, contact Debbie at: <a href="mailto:debbie.degarmo@ngc.com" style="color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" target="_blank">debbie.degarmo@ngc.com</a><br />
<br />
He's in Los Angeles County, but for the right home, he'll be transported within Southern California. He's currently at the Castiac Shelter.<br />

He is blind, and needs a home to enjoy his remaining years. He is a sweet little guy who loves to cuddle. He's good around any creature--people, children, other dogs or cats. An ideal home for Thor would be a loving mellow home where people are home most of the time (e.g., an older retired couple or someone who wants to take a mellow dog most everywhere they go).<br />
<br />
Additional pictures of Thor are available on his <a href="http://www.adoptapet.com/pet7416137.html" target="_blank">Adopt-A-Pet page</a>.

Notes from the Pooch: Many, many people were contacted to help find Peppy a new home. I'd like to thank Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego for standing up for Peppy in her time of need and all of the support from other folks who reached into their address books to find any and every contact that they could to help find Peppy a better life.Jeff Naruckihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00495356549613992014noreply@blogger.com0San Diego, CA, USA32.7153292 -117.157255132.5020757 -117.4731121 32.9285827 -116.8413981tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814589229335775129.post-15568023245494614182012-06-08T08:22:00.001-07:002012-06-08T08:22:13.814-07:00Sammy - Mixed Breed (San Diego, CA)<br />

<h2>
<span style="color: #38761d;">Sammy's a 12 year old mixed breed dog available for adoption. </span></h2>
His owner has some health challenges and while it breaks his heart, he can no longer care for Sammy the way he deserves and would like to find him a wonderful forever home to live out the rest of his days.<br />
<br />
He's had Sammy since he was 8 months old when he rescued Sammy from a shelter in the Moreno area. He loves the dog parks and trails and the beach and is good on a leash or in the backyard.<br />
<br />
He may have lost a step, but he still gets around. He's up to date on his shots and loves children, cats, and other dogs as well.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in Sammy (and we hope you are), please contact Stretton at: 619-408-3647 or email him at: <a href="mailto:strettonrutherford@gmail.com">strettonrutherford@gmail.com</a><br />

Phillipe is a darling little 14 year old (9 pounds) rescued from North Central about a month ago. He is seeking a backup foster home, or a new foster home, with a yard and who is home more often.<br />
<br />
He is great with other pets, and very loving, but after 14 years as a backyard dog (we believe) he is not housebreaking easily in a foster home that works full time and doesnt have a yard.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in being his new foster home, or in helping to give his foster momma breaks, or perhaps take him and try to housebreak him, please contact Bonnie at <a href="mailto:helpingdogs76@yahoo.com">helpingdogs76@yahoo.com</a>.<br />
<br />
He is already neutered, vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, and is getting a dental on Sunday, May 13th. He is displaying a very, very MILD cough, which could be kennel cough, or could be symptoms of heart issues. We believe he is in his last year of life and he must be spoiled whereever he goes.<br />

I'd like to thank Bonnie for sharing Phillipe with us. If anyone has a little room at their place (and heart) and can give Phillipe a great home for the rest of his life, I'm sure his love will pay you back triple what you give. </div>

This little darling is <span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">JUNO</span>. She is 10 years old and her human "mother" recently passed away unexpectedly. Having lost both of her primary care givers recently, we are looking for someone who might want to adopt her. She is loving, gentle, house trained, and will be grateful to you for not having to go to a kennel after a lifetime of home loving. Needless to say, she wouldn't do well there. If anyone is interested at all, please in box me.</span><br />

Life was good for Shelbie. She got to take rides in the family SUV, she got to go swimming and she was taken on long, daily walks. But all of that changed very suddenly when Shelbie’s family lost their home.<br />
<br />
They surrendered her to the local shelter and waved goodbye. Shelbie patiently waited for them to return and take her for a ride home. She was a good dog at the shelter. She was friendly and outgoing and got along well with the other dogs. But that didn’t seem to matter. No one was interested in adopting Shelbie and her time had run out.<br />
<br />
Then, luckily, Shelbie caught the attention of Lab Rescue and she was saved. Whew, that was a close call!<br />
<br />
Shelbie is just a love! She has a sweet, mellow disposition, has the wagging tail of the typical Lab and she stands ready to smother you with kisses – just let her know when you are ready. Shelbie likes to be near her humans.<br />

And when you are finally finished, Shelbie will lie at your side, content to keep you company while you get busy on the desk work.<br />
<br />
If you enjoy long walks at dusk, in the companionship of a lovely lady, Shelbie is the girl for you! If you are looking for a devoted soul mate, Shelbie is the girl for you! If you are looking for unconditional love and commitment, Shelbie is the girl for you! If you are looking to share your golden years with a dog that has a heart of gold, Shelbie is the girl for you!<br />
<br />
Shelbie nicely shares her space with other dogs, cats and humans. Shelbie is patient and tolerant of them all. And Shelbie is very well mannered. Yes, she is house trained, knows and offers a sit, has a very soft mouth and walks nicely on the leash.<br />
<br />
Shelbie’s adoption donation is $300 and includes her spay procedure, microchip and registration, DHLPP, de-flea and de-worm medications and heartworm (negative) test.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79; font-size: x-large;">Meet Snooki.</span><br />
<br />
No, not THAT Snooki. This is the original, a Shepherd mix. Snooki's a Jersey Girl through and through and would make a great pet for an older person looking for a companion. Snooki's been through the ringer as of late and her nerves are a bit jangled from spending much of her time in shelters, so whether you can adopt her, or even just foster her until she finds the right forever home, I have no doubts that she'll appreciate a quiet place to crash for a while. <br />
<br />
No children or excitable pets for this old girl. Her partying days are behind her and she's looking for a nice mellow home to call her own.<br />
<br />

<br />
As the volunteers at the <a href="http://www.lapaw.org/">LPAW Rescue & TNR</a> in Lake Charles, Louisiana, she's not letting the tough cards that she's been dealt keep her down.<br />
<br />
All reports are that she's healthy and up to date on shots, as well as being spayed. <br />
<br />
She has cataracts, "but sees well enough get around and to find an empty lap or full food bowl!"<br />
<br />
Looking both of these pictures you can tell she's just grateful to spend her time with the people she loves. The great part of adopting a sweetie like Lavergne is that it allows LPAW to take in a pet even worse off than her.<br />
<br />
