URGENT FOSTER NEEDED TODAY.

GORGEOUS DEAF 2 YEAR OLD ABOUT TO BE RETURNED TO CARSON SHELTER.

Who can foster? Call me 310 980 3383

Message from current foster:
Hello, my name is Ollie (though my foster mom calls me Louie).
My story started at the Carson shelter, where I was abandoned by my previous owner for being deaf. A family adopted me and took me to the vet, where they discovered I’m deaf. Sadly, they decided they couldn’t keep me and posted on Nextdoor, saying they’d either rehome me or return me to the shelter. That’s when my foster mom stepped in to save me, and she’s been caring for me ever since.
I’m a Maltese/Dachhound mix, about 2 years old, 15 lbs, neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. I’m a healthy, playful boy who loves having fun with both humans and other dogs. I’d be happiest in a home with children or a canine sibling to keep me company and play with me all day long but wouldn’t mind being the only dog as long as my owner stays home with me most of the time.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, please consider giving me a FOREVER home!
I don’t deserve to be bouncing back from place to place. I am ready to be with a family forever.
Thank you
Ollie (or Louie)

Please tag and share. This is urgent. Husband wants to return him to Carson Shelter TODAY.

FOSTER OR ADOPTER AND MEDICAL PLEDGES NEEDED FOR BELLA

This gorgeous, sweet,three year old, akc papered female (small) standard needs medical pledges and a foster or adopter!

Our usual protocol of spay, dental, f***l to lab, heartworm test, dental, shots, and microchip. As most of you know, our Veterinarian has retired. Navigating finding a new Vet with similar pricing and not $1800 being quoted for a dental has been ridiculous.

Bella's Mom has Alzheimers which two days ago was diagnosed as advancing faster than expected. We need to help her lovely daughter rehome Bella at this point. She's had no vetting, so here we are. Bella is great with kids and people. Cat's unknown.

Our PayPal is: [email protected]
Zelle: 310 980 3383
Venmo: -corona-1

We are confident that we can find an amazing new home for Bella, so we would appreciate the help! Please also share! Xo LMC

Happy National Dog Day to Addie Mae!

Our amazing friend Mary Boville fostered Addie and her sister who were owner surrendered under quite deplorable and shady circumstances. Addie was pretty messed up with eye problems, skin issues, rotten teeth and the kitchen sink. She looked nothing like the Princess she is now. Mary poored so much love into Addie that she healed beautifully. Here she is last month on her 8th Birthday! Love you Mary and Jenny Boville! ❤️❤️❤️

Happy National Dog Day Teddy! Our shelter boy is the second dog that Kathy Muraviov have adopted from us after their sweet Charlie passed away. Teddy is a truly lovely boy who I personally fostered. He's very protective of Kathy and her hubby and a biter on occasion but they've worked with him and as time passes we pray he'll finally feel safe. Love you guys! ❤️❤️❤️

FRONTLINE PLUS

Anyone in Orange County, CA having trouble with Frontline Plus working? Purchased from our Vet's office. If you're having trouble please include where purchased!

Also what IS working in OC if not Frontline? Our German Shepherd Oso's foster has a lot of feral cats in his area that are over run with fleas so it's a no win situation. HELP!

PUPDATE ERNIE & LILLY ATTACKED AT PARK

Ernie & Lilly are home from hospital. Ernie's spleen, liver & intestines were put back into his stomach cavity as his diaphragm was torn open. When Ernie got home, he wouldn't eat. Back to the hospital, he was given medication to calm his tummy down & make him hungry. He's now stabilized, eating well & having bowel movements. The surgeon assured us he did not have organ preferations, which could result in sepsis.

Lilly is doing well, & frankly, being chubby saved her life. ❤️

I spoke at length to the family that adopted the Husky from Front Street Shelter. He escaped their yard into the neighbors & they were unable to corral him. A chase ensued on foot. He cornered a cat. Wife said she saw a switch flip in his brain - she knew he would kill it in that split second. She was able to save the cat as her husband ran home for the car. When her husband caught up to the dog, he was in the midst of the attack on Ernie and Lilly at the park. The only way he was able to subdue the Husky was to jump & lay flat on top of him, thereby holding him down.

He attacked Lilly first, & when Ernie tried to protect her, he went for Ernie, then back to attacking Lilly. That alone saved Ernie's life. ❤️

The Huskies family are shell shocked. They returned him to the shelter. We are filing a request of outcome. They had him for 3 months & really thought they were doing the right thing by trying to save an animal. The videos of him in play yard at the shelter were not indicative of prey drive. Front Street are a solid shelter, work with a 501& have many volunteers. They wouldn't have made him available to the public if they thought he was a danger. The family have fully reimbursed Ernie & Lilly's hospital bills, almost 17K. Please also keep them in your prayers as they are devastated. When I was going over the bills with the Mom, she never even questioned the amount. As she sobbed, she repeated over & over again, "Those poor dogs."

This could have been so much worse & we are grateful it was not. Our Adopters, Bob & Ann & Lilly's family thank you for the prayers & are also thankful to FABB for sending prayer blankets. 🙏🙏🙏

Happy Father's Day in Heaven Daddy.

I miss you every single day as you know. The "Bob'isms" are all still lived by but especially the one where we learned from you when we were little to take care of our animals food & water before feeding ourselves. I do my best to share them (all million of them) whenever the opportunity arises... in your gentle way... leading by example never preaching.

I miss laughing uproariously with you in our genetic dark humored ways but Beverly Corona, David & I do not disappoint! Mom rolls her eyes 🙄😂so not a lot has changed! I must edit in that Ancestry has discovered she is 9th Cousin to Queen Victoria so that pretty much explains everything lol! Since you left no one has ever called me the best nickname I have ever had. I miss being called Cissy. I hope Pepper, Coco, Napolean, Sam the Turtle, Shep & finally Bosco & Al most recently have joined you. They all loved you beyond. I will never forget you & Mom buying me a real life baby state of the art 1968 resting cot for the kittens we found. Always the BEST for our rescued animals no matter the cost.

I love you Daddy. One sweet day we will all be back together again. Until then & although we remain brokenhearted without your physical presence ~ the strength & compassion & hope you gave to so very many under privileged children throughout your lifetime & the mentorship you provided to so many throughout your amazing careers'.... lives on. So many Bob'isms being spread by all the lives you touched. A life well lived Daddy. Truly.

URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED FOR ERNIE IN SURGERY RIGHT NOW!

Formerly Nico Dawson euth lister from Devore, fostered by Nancy Golden Towle and adopted in 2017.

Ernie and Lilly Belle were out for a walk yesterday when a 2 year old husky attacked them both. The man had NO control over his dog!

Lilly Belle (a friends little maltese) just got out of surgery $6000.00.

Ernie is under now with his intestines in his chest cavity and many, many deep punctures possibly to organs. Surgery is going to be approx. $12000.00

Please pray for Ernie to come through and for his incredible adopters Ann and Bob Rickabaugh. They are in tears right now praying he will make it. 🙏🙏🙏

Having been attacked at a dog park with Charmel I completely understand the horror and trauma associated for Ann and her friend Lilly's Mama. It causes PTSD.

Thanks for your prayers. 🙏🙏🙏

PHOEBE GOLDEN PUPDATE

Well, last Thursday, when, , Nancy picked up Phoebe and her sister Summer, we were under the impression that they were puppy puppies. In fact, they're almost eleven months! No problem there, but the first night, little 7 pound Phoebe started her heat. I asked the original owners if she'd previously had a heat cycle, and that was a negative. So, off to the Google I went. Most females have a first heat at 6 to 7 months, but the deeper I dug, I found on breeder pages that for lil Yorkie girls, it's 10 to 12 months. She's officially a teenager now 😍.

Nancy and I had planned to separate them, and miraculously, Phil & Jean, who adopted Lil Joe from us last year, asked to foster one of the girls! Lil Joe (at 4 pounds then) was endangered at a Parker Arizona trailer park chained to a cheap lawn chair for 2 of his 4 years (every single day) and was afraid of everything when we took him in. Any bird snake or coyote could have gotten to him, and it's amazing he lived through that nightmare. 😬

He's now Mr. Personality 🤩 and rules the roost, so it's been fun and a little shocking for Jean Madden and her sister Karen to see Miss Phoebe boss him around. He's cool with her stealing his leftovers, sleeping in his new bed, taking his toys, and bully sticks away from him. His only rule has been established: Phoebe is in someone's lap he has to be in someone's lap. We have supplied feminine diapers for her and will monitor her cycle and coordinate her spay date to make sure it has passed before her hysterectomy. She'll be 1 on June 19th, 2024.

Jean and Karen report that her personality is starting to come out, and she's just a little doll. We love her 😍

PLEASE WELCOME PHOEBE & SUMMER TO Fluffs & Scruffs, A Dog Rescue

With thanks to our sister, rescue Tiffini Cartozian of Yorkie Rescue of America for the heads up on these 11 month old sweethearts. The owners are very kind people who were having a problem with the littles being too puppyish for their older, more sedate, dogs. They opted to send the babies to Rescue instead of blindly rehoming them or shelter bound. And they kept their older dogs! Thank you! ❤️

Phoebe is 7 pounds and outgoing. Summer is 9 pounds and a little shy but loves to be held. We don't expect them to get any bigger, and they will be spayed next month when they are 1 year old. DOB 6/19/23.

They will be separated as we don't believe in adopting same litter pups together. This way, Phoebe can be herself, and Summer will develop much needed confidence!

We are so excited for these little girls to blossom. They are being fostered by our Director of Adoptions Nancy Golden Towle who has been unavailable to foster as she has had her daughters boy dogs while they navigated surgeries for Nancy's daughter and grandson who have a devastating disease called VHL. Please keep Chelsea and Tommy in your prayers. They are going through A LOT. I'm so happy Nancy and Scott will get some puppy love to cheer them up! Thank you, Nancy and Scott! ❤️

RIEP BUSTER 💔

Our neighbor's Steve and his husband just lost their gorgeous 17 year old boy Buster.

Steve wanted to donate all of Buster's belongings to a small rescue group like ourselves, including his bed, food, leash, feeding bowls, clipper sets, and many, many more items.

It is a DEEP honor to receive such a gift, and it has been and will be treated with the utmost respect towards Buster and his life well lived with all the amazing love from his Daddy's.

We are beyond appreciative of Steve's ability to send a part of Buster's daily life on ... to help other rescue pups. Thank you, Steve. We are celebrating Buster with love 💔.

Photo's: First photo is of Buster. Second, I had put Buster's bed in the rocking chair while I made a spot of honor for it, and Lollipop, our four pound terrorist, jumped right in and was so proud of himself! Last, our new boys, Sawyer and Basil from San Bernadino Shelter, are using Buster's bowls for their homemade breakfast as we try to put weight on them.
