Pablo – Very Urgent – 2-Year-Old German Shepherd Reach out 1/17 as early as possible, preferably when the shelter opens. Fostering this sweet fur kid saves his life.

Needs foster / rescue urgently Animal ID: A004378
Pablo is a beautiful, loving 2-year-old German Shepherd whose entire world collapsed through no fault of his own. His pet parent was deported, and with no family able to take him in, Pablo ended up in the shelter — confused, grieving, and now running out of time, according to Kelly of the @iloverescue Instagram page.
A volunteer who recently visited Pablo described him as stunning, even more so in person. He is:

  • Friendly
  • Dog-neutral
  • Not demanding
  • A young shepherd who simply needs stability, patience, and love

Pablo is a good dog who nearly lost everything, but he still has hope and wants to live his full life with love and joy - they all do. He is so kind and just wants to be a part of your family. He brings love everywhere he goes!
💔 A foster commitment alone can save Pablo’s life today.

Kevin – Animal ID A003137 Urgent – 2 year Old German Shepherd Mix beautiful needs to be rescued or fostered before 1/17 at 5 pm to save his life. He is very friendly, dog neutral and loves everyone too.

Kevin is a sweet dog and very well behaved. He has been at the shelter since September and needs rescue by 1/17/2026 before 5. He had a one night sleep over during the holidays and did so well! He adjusts quickly to home life and likes meeting new people. He is kind with dogs, doesn’t engage in play yet with other furry kids, but he doesn’t seem to mind being around them either!

RESCUED 1/16/2025 Candy – Urgent – 4-Month-Old Puppy

Animal ID: A003247
Candy is a beautiful, loving 4-month-old puppy — still a baby — and she is also urgent today.
She is a shelter favorite and is described as:

  • Friendly
  • Social
  • Loving
  • Dog-friendly, though she will need slow introductions, as she can be a little jumpy at first — typical, joyful puppy behavior

Candy deserves to live her full life with love, compassion, and joy.
She needs someone to speak up for her today.

RESCUED 1/16/2025 Natasha – Urgent – 10-Month-Old Puppy

Sweet Natasha is a beautiful, loving, petite puppy, just 10 months old, and she is all love.
She is:

  • Extremely friendly
  • Joyful and playful
  • Already learning basic obedience skills
  • Full of happy puppy energy

Natasha was adopted, but heartbreakingly had to be returned to the shelter through absolutely no fault of her own. Her adopter received a severe medical diagnosis, leaving them unable to care for her as they wanted. She was loved — and losing her home was not a reflection of Natasha in any way.
Now, Natasha urgently needs a foster or adopter today.
💔 A foster offer alone can save her life.
