2mos ago, our heart dog Elliot left us. We were shattered. He was our sanctuary and our bliss for 15.5yrs.
Shortly after, this skeleton of a dog showed up in my feed. Elliot had been a cruelty victim and maybe that’s why he loved the underdogs. I felt him nudge me, “Guys. Help him.” 1/3

A trade secret: We can’t let ourselves get too bonded w/ our fosters, even when some are hungry for MORE.
That ‘professional distance’ is necessary but can be so hard! Chico was one dog who wanted a deeper connection with us. Ugh.
On Sat he came to class with his brand new person (photo) 1/2

HUGE thanks to all the vets who responded to the bat signal and juggled their calendar to fit her in soonest. And to the vet who said 'Yes! Tomorrow!' - You're a modern day hero. All fingers crossed for no overnight surprises. #sodamnclose #stressful #wishherluck

Crazy Truth: Some of the very best dogs we see in our program wait the longest for homes. Not sure why! And they only get ‘better’ while they’re here.
Chico. What you see here is what you get. Rescued July 2 (!!!) and just the bestest Good Boy. ❤️

🔥 We've been heartbroken to witness the injustice taking place in the US towards immigrant communities, especially here in CA. La Raza has contributed so much to supporting and building up our org that we literally wouldn't be who we are without them. They are us, We are them.

Nat’l Rescue Dog Day. You know what to do … Show us who owns your ❤️. Owen doesn’t have a family who can brag about him yet, but he gets a post regardless. Next year, Owen! #adoptionrocks

Shrub & Tyson 🤭 Two dorkalicious smiles for your Tuesday. Who’s gonna adopt these cuties? Wish we had a crystal ball some days.

New dog Owen’s eyes say it all. He winces a bit when we touch him - I’m sure you can guess what that means. We’ll shift that story with time & some focused TLC. He’s so gentle & kind & hopeful. Looking forward to seeing him exhale and realize that Life is good. You deserve the best, Owen.

Earth Day. So great to see 7 stressed shelter dogs exhale for a bit. We needed the downshift as much as they did. If you see a face in here that speaks to you, pls reach out to the shelter listed by their name, or post Qs here. We got a good feel for each during their visit & are happy to advise.

Yes there was another NFL player indicted for dog fighting (Oklahoma) but I’d rather look at a puppy than talk about that mess right now. #gowiththeflow This is Maya and she needs a home. ❤️

Friday vibes with adopted Pepper (was Yasu) and her new dude, Bucky. Pepper was a cruelty/neglect survivor, so these pix mean e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g to us. #goodkarma #loveheals

Spring is popping at the Rescue Barn.
Nature is so good at reminding us that life is much bigger and more determined than any of our human worries.

We Stand with Ukraine.
March 2022. This painting - entitled 'Strong Dog' - was created for us by Alexander, a 16yo Ukrainian artist who managed to paint while his home town of Odesa was being bombed.
We commissioned it as a way to support him & his family, but without any expectation of timing.

According to research from UC San Diego & Harvard, the kindness you show others ripples out into the very fabric of humanity. It does.
This IS resistance.
Today, a woman is trying to help this dog. She knew the owner who beat him and now he’s sheltered, acting out & listed for euthanasia.

🔥 When owned pets are hungry, don’t forget to make sure their humans can eat too. When disaster victims need pet supplies, don’t forget that boosting their mental health will build resilience. #longgame A deep thx to Jimi, who gifted his guitar to an Eaton Fire survivor who lost it all.
