Deity Animal Rescue and Foundation

Deity Animal Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit rescue organization based in Los Angeles. Dogs saved her so it’s only right that she save dogs.

It is our passion and mission to rescue, rehabilitate and place stray, neglected and shelter dogs into loving, responsible and committed homes. When bringing dogs into Deity we do not discriminate on age, breed or ease of placement. Rather, we choose dogs based on temperament and potential to be wonderful companions. We adhere to a comprehensive adoption process which includes finding the best pos

sible match for each dog and performing home checks. Our mission is to educate and empower people of all ages as to how they can make a difference in the lives of animals in their communities. We target the importance of pet sterilization, animal welfare, and why it is a good idea to adopt from a shelter or rescue rather than buy from a breeder.

Ellen rescued Vida, the first official Deity dog, in 2007. Lindsay joined Ellen in her efforts when a major health scare made her reevaluate life and the gift of health and happiness. Dogs served a key roll in her recovery and she strives to share the healing power of dogs with others.

They were surrendered to the shelter by their owners. Together.

At 10 and 11 years old, Killa and Cali Girl had spent their entire lives side by side. Every meal. Every nap. Every good day. Every hard day. Together.

Our biggest fear wasn’t that they wouldn’t get adopted. It was that only one of them would. You see, little white fluffballs like Killa tend to get scooped up pretty quickly around here. And the thought of him leaving while Cali Girl stayed behind kept us up at night. Because Killa isn’t just her friend. He’s her everything.

She always knows where he is. Always checks for him. And he looks to her for reassurance. She’s his barometer. If Cali Girl is okay, then Killa is okay. And if Killa is okay, then the world feels right.

They eat together. Sleep together. Explore together. They have spent more than a decade building a life around one another.

After losing the only home they’ve ever known, losing each other too would have been unthinkable.

Not on our watch.

Today they are safe in foster care, waiting for their Forever Home.

Together.

And we need the world to know just how easy they are. How happy they are. How well-mannered, respectful, and grateful they are. They don’t need much. Just a soft place to land, a warm bed, and someone willing to love them through their golden years.

What we can promise is this:
Whoever opens their heart to Killa and Cali Girl won’t just be saving two senior dogs. They’ll be witnessing one of the purest love stories they’ve ever seen.

And that kind of love has a way of changing your life, too.

If you’re seeing this, help us show Killa and Cali Girl to the people who are meant to find them.

Leave a ❤️ in the comments if you believe best friends belong together.

It is your comments, shares and interactions that help push these two through the oppressive algorithm. And somewhere out there is the family that is supposed to see them.

Let’s help them find each other. The link to our adoption application is in our bio.

His truth. Our reality. A day in the life of a Los Angeles County shelter dog. Everyday for us in frontline rescue.

But if watching Vinny taking his steps to freedom isn’t enough, slide to see what today looks like for him.

Drop a ♥️ for Vinny and to see more stories like this one. Because we’ve got ‘em and would love the excuse to share.

Fostering saves lives.
And foster fails = forever love.

Tank is safe. And thanks to the love of not one - but two shelters - plus a huge army of YOU - tonight he sleeps on a cozy bed made for a king. He ate high quality food and took pain meds and prescribed fish oil.

You guys, I’m not gonna lie. His arthritis is bad - and Doc isn’t sure that there’s not some spinal issues happening here. But this is a boy who may have never slept on anything but concrete. We know he lived hard, neglected and abused. We can’t change that. But moving forward is going to look a lot different. Orthopedic beds. An intuitive foster dad with senior dog experience. And once the meds kick in, Tank is hopefully going to have a lot more pep in his step. Manifesting.

His story is heartbreaking. His love is breathtaking. To know him is a gift. To know that he exists in this world is enough to do whatever it takes to keep him happy, healthy and living his best life. And that’s what we’re gonna do.

It’s his time to decompress. It’s time to feel better. Soon we will be asking you to help us find his Forever Home. For now, it’s rest.

Welcome to your rescue family sweet boy. We love you so much.
♥️

Tomorrow, Tank walks out of that kennel.

After everything he’s been through - the chain, the neglect, the loss - tomorrow is the day his life changes.

And if I’m being honest… I’m already feeling emotional about it.

The truth is this. He’s a senior. His body has been through years of things no dog should endure. His gate tells the story of arthritic bones and possible past injuries. He needs a full medical workup. We know he’ll need ongoing care. We know he’ll need support - financially and medically- likely for the rest of his life.

Of course, we want that fairytale ending for him. A home. A person. A soft place that’s his forever. Manifesting with every ounce of our being. But we also have been doing this long enough to know that we have to be both hopeful and realistic.

Tank may be with us for a while.

And that means we don’t just rescue him… we commit to him. Fully. Forever. However long that is.

One thing is for sure. He will never know neglect, chains or betrayal ever again.

We are stepping in for him. And I’m asking you to step in with us. You guys have always been the reason dogs like Tank get their second chance.

To be part of the vet visit that gives us answers.
To be part of the arthritis medication that keeps him comfortable.
To be part of the soft landing he’s never had.

We’re building Tank’s care fund - for his medical, his comfort, and whatever his body needs to finally feel safe and loved.

If you want to help carry him into this next chapter, please donate through the link in our bio.

Please earmark it “for Tank”
or choose to become a monthly donor and part of his monthly support system.

This is the part of the story where things start to change.
Not someday. Tomorrow.

Just one more sleep sweet Tank.
Your Village is already showing up. ♥️

She’s the girl who came from a the inside of a bathroom. A bathroom where she had spent the entirety of her one and half years of life. But now - she’s out. And never looking back: and so in love with this new world. A world that includes love, cuddles, grass, a foster sister, a soft bed to lay her 7 pound body.

Rue is so here for it. And is so grateful for it.

Now all she needs is to find her True Love. Rue would do well with kids, cats, other dogs. She’s just that angel kind of girl.

Rescue fam, please do your thing. Make it happen for this little girl. Drop a 💗 or a 🧚‍♀️ for Rue. It is your likes, comments and interactions that propel her over this oppressive Instagram algorithm. You hold the key to her future (no pressure 😆).

Today matters. Hundreds of animals entered the LA County shelter system yesterday, and they are going to need us.

We are so grateful to be hosted by , a beautiful woman-owned boutique that truly embodies community. Come for the merch, come for the treats (human and canine) and come for the collective love of the animals.

Chloe says to come for her.🤍

If you’re coming today, please bring something from this list. Towels, blankets, food… even one item makes a difference.

We will be there from 11-3pm.

Hope to see you there.

He came from nothing. Less than nothing even. Confinement. Malnourishment. Neglect.

Thankfully a good human got in the way of he and his little family being dumped at the shelter - by reaching out to us.

He, his sister and their son (yeah, I said that) did not ask to be brought into this world, and yet here they are.

But you guys, my heart is full tonight. Because the boy now named Jones is so friggin’ happy. Just look at him! Ever since he went to his new foster home, he has had a smile on his face and a pep in his step (even with those sore virgin toe beans that are experiencing the world for the first time on the outside of a bathroom floor). He finally was able to exhale. To be free of feeling the responsibility of looking after his little family. Now he gets to be the baby. Not the brother, nor the daddy. The baby.

And this is all that we want for him. And for them. Food that is their own, without competition, without the fear and anxiety of not knowing when you’re going to be fed again. Toys that are given out of love, that are a brand new experience, that bring so much joy. And sleep. Coveted, deep, cortisol free sleep. The kind that rejuvenates the body and feeds the soul.

Putting that out there to the Universe for Jones, his sister Lil Bit, and the baby Bartok. Check out our highlight “Bathroom Family” for the full story. ✨

Please drop a 🤍 for Jones and his bravery. It’s been a big couple of days. Let’s get him seen over this oppressive algorithm thing. It is your likes, comments and interactions that work magic here. 🪄

If you’re interested in adopting any of these three little long haired chihuahua mixes, head to the adoption application link in our bio. All three are angels. We are so happy they are safe and sound - and will never be loathed and locked away ever again.

Thank you and . Fostering saves lives. So grateful. 🙏🤍✨

Wanted to update you guys on lil Killa and Cali Girl. They are loving Foster Life. They are loving being a part of a rescue foster fam. Cali Girl loves playing with the toys you sent for them. Killa loves trying to pounce on her as she does. They play together, they eat together, and they always, yes always - sleep together.

Killa’s eye is still a question. We are making an appointment with an ophthalmologist because it doesn’t seem to be healing the way it should be. Cali Girl however, received THE BESTEST NEWS - her masses were benign. 🥳

Now is their time. Time to find Forever Love. Together. Honestly you guys, they are such an easy, loving little duo. Just being in their presence makes life so much better. They are serotonin in doggie form. He will sit on your lap and press his little fluffy bod against you while she gives you the sweetest kisses you’ve ever had. There is no shortage of gratitude. They will never let you forget that. This we know.

Please drop a ♥️ or a 🩷 or a ♥️🩷 and get this Dynamic Duo seen and ADOPTED. Your likes, comments and interactions hold the key to getting them seen over the oppressive algorithm.

To everyone who has sent love via their fundraiser - thank you. Turns out, they are continuing to need it! 🙏

To foster mama - we could not have brought them into the rescue had you not stepped up to give them a place to land. Fostering Saves Lives. ♥️

your photography never disappoints! Thank you for being on this journey with us since the beginning and for always showing up with your 📸 to capture the essence that is them. This first slide is yours and so beautiful. Saving the rest for later.
