I want to lead this story with sweet Buck, a one year old very affectionate pittie, whose time is running out at the shelter. He needs a loving foster home urgently, and a rescue. Would you like to foster Buck? Fostering animals in shelters is life saving, it gives them an opportunity to heal, thrive, and be on the path to a forever adoptable home. Medical care is covered when fostering a dog, and we need more kind people to do so throughout Los Angeles, so that more precious lives such as Buck’s are saved. If you would like to foster Buck, a 1 year old, happy, joyful, affectionate pittie, please reach out today and complete a foster application at www.carsonfoster.org.

He really just wants to be someone’s one and only and soak up all of the attention. He would do best in a home with adults only and no other dogs, where he can be someone’s spoiled best friend.He’s available for adoption at Carson Animal Shelter.
