Saving Carson Shelter Dogs

❤️🐶WELCOME! OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE:
We help promote Carson Shelter dogs by filming videos of the CarsonFosters.com is a great resource.

🔹WHAT WE'RE NOT INVOLVED WITH:
● We are not associated with the shelter in any way.
● We don't pull dogs.
● We don't transport dogs
● We're not involved in the adoption of animals (Shelter phone #: ☎️ 310-523-9566)
● We're not involved in coordinating rescues nor do we get involved in the logistics.
● We are not involved with fostering. In a nutshell we're a tiny set of volunteers that do this on

our own time with our own money with ONLY the dogs best interests in our hearts at all times. We've learned SO much since 2013 when we started posting photos/videos resulting in 1000's of dogs finding solid forever homes. But we continue to try to improve to help more dogs. If you found your dog from one of our videos please drop us a note to let us know! We're also on 🔸INSTAGRAM🔸YOUTUBE🔸TWITTER!

➡️ IF YOU WANT TO BE A ⭐️FOSTER⭐️:
If you live within 2 hours of LA & can foster a pet, please post your name & city you live in on the thread of the pet you are willing to help. Pets with foster offers have a much better chance of being rescued and rescue groups are often monitoring the messages. For more info from independent volunteers trying to help fosters connect with rescue groups:
💟 WEBSITE: CarsonFosters.com
💟 EMAIL: [email protected]
________________________________

🆘 EUTHANASIA 🆘 :
🔹Remember, we are NOT the shelter: Technically, dogs become 'at risk' for euthanasia at the end of the day on their 'Available Date' if they are sick, have behavioral issues or the shelter is at capacity & they don't have an adopter or rescue group commitment. Most often we are given the courtesy of 24-72 hours notice by the shelter to get the word out if they are considering euthanasia but that isn't always the case.
________________________________

🔹 🌐🌎OUT-OF-STATE ADOPTION INTERESTS:🌐🌎
We receive requests from all over the world from people wanting to adopt the dogs in our videos. Obviously we want all the dogs at Carson out ASAP (if it's going to a legitimate adopter/rescue group) but if you're out-of-state just know that your local animal shelter will have lots of dogs just like the ones in our videos and they probably have less promotion 😢. So please check your local shelter first. There's no shortage of dogs in need around the world. If your heart is set on a pup in a video we suggest you first contact a local rescue group in your area to assist you. Then post in that dogs comments section who you are, the name of your rescue group, your location, and specifically what assistance you need (i.e. pulling, vetting and boarding, transport or if you will handle the transport, etc). Many rescue groups & networkers are on our threads and may be able to assist in connecting you with a Carson Shelter affiliated rescue group who is in the position to help. Please note, typically the funds necessary to save a dog from the shelter (boarding, transport to boarding, vetting, etc.) are the responsibility of the out of state rescue, but you would work that out directly with local rescue that assists you.

🔹NOTES ON BLOCKING PEOPLE:
Since day 1 we've had only the dogs best interests at heart and we will not hesitate to block anybody we feel is hurting a dogs chances of finding their forever home. We have no time or interest in being a part of any drama that takes away from the task at hand: Helping these dogs find legitimate homes.
________________________________

🔹BEWARE OF CON ARTISTS
There are con artists in every walk of life. Unfortunately that includes animal rescue 😢. PLEASE DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE and research anybody you're considering giving money to. Most rescue groups are fantastic so please don't be discouraged from donating/pledging but there are bad actors that take advantage of these defenseless creatures to profit from the heightened emotions surrounding the situation. Their behavior destroys trust, costing legitamate Rescue Groups precious donations and thus causing more dogs to die. Please be careful.

A5688147 ✰ LOLA -7/06/25-

Update! Her brother’s were adopted, she was adopted, and a few days later she was left in the yard and she escaped ended up back at the Shelter and now she is in danger and needs help quickly. This sweet girl is very very special.

A5688147(intact) Lola:

Lola was at the front of the kennel jumping up and down excitedly as the runner approached. Lola greeted the runner with a loose wiggly body, open mouth pant, natural ear set, high tail with a loose wag, and soft eyes. Lola sniffed and licked the runner’s hand soliciting petting through the barrier. She was easily leashed and removed from the kennel without issue. Lola walked ahead of the runner with a strong pull on the leash bypassing the dogs along the way. Once in the catch pen Lola was collared and leashed without issue soliciting petting during the process. Lola greeted the dogs at the barrier eagerly and was allowed into the play yard. Lola exchanged greetings nicely with a loose wiggly body then she began to zoom around the play yard. She settled and was able to integrate herself with the group easily. Lola continued to participate in play chase and playful wrestling for the majority of the play session. Lola would occasionally stop by the handlers and solicit petting from them with a loose wiggly demeanor. Lola maintained a social and playful demeanor with a push pull playstyle. Lola is ok for public adoption high energy level large dogs ok.

Three siblings, Two boys and a girl only eight months old were found near 600 East Turmont St.
The two boys have their full ears, but it looks like they tried to do some surgery at home and they clipped the top of her ears and she has a scar on her face. She was probably restrained for it. This poor girl has been through a lot and she’s still a puppy.

A5707907 ✰ S**A -6/20/25-

😢OWNER SURRENDER😢

He’s six years old and he was surrendered when his owner moved.

6/26/25 - S**a A5707907(Intact) was lying down at the back of the kennel when the runner arrived. He approached with a neutral body posture and allowed himself to be leashed with ease. He exited the kennel on his own and walked nicely on leash as he bypassed the other kennels. Once in the catch pen, he stood calmly as the collar was placed around his neck. After entering the yard, he greeted some of the dogs with a neutral body posture before moving on to explore the environment. He continued roaming around the yard, following some of the dogs at times to sniff them without fully engaging. When the handlers were near, he approached and sniffed them briefly. For the remainder of the session, he coexisted peacefully, preferring to keep to himself. Once the session concluded, he was moved to the side yard to begin his handling assessment. S**a could benefit from continued socialization in a yard with calm dogs, where he can interact at his own comfort level, and gradually develop his social skills. S**a is ok for public adoption, adults only required, calm dogs recommended, low energy level. See handling assessment.

S**a A5707907(Intact) was allowed to decompress alone in the yard before the assessment. The handler was able to conduct a full evaluation without incident. He stood still, allowing his ears, mouth, stomach, nub, and legs to be handled. The entire time he displayed no prosocial behavior, appearing stoic during the process. He exhibited a neutral body posture, with a neutral gaze, a closed mouth, natural ear set, and a relaxed nub. Once the session concluded, he was returned to his kennel. S**a did not show any concerning behavior during the process and remained uninterested in engaging with the handler throughout the process. A slow approach during interactions is highly recommended, which may help S**a warm up to new people. S**a is ok for public adoption, adults only required, calm dogs recommended, low energy level.

My name is S**A and I'm an approximately 6 year old male Doberman. I am not yet neutered. I have been at the Carson Animal Care Center since 6/20. I will be available on 6/20. You can visit me at my temporary home at C142.
