Thank you Stater Bros.!

Our hearts are so full with gratitude. We want to give the biggest THANK YOU to the Azusa team for choosing our volunteer-run squad to receive this incredibly generous donation.

We survive solely because of community support, and being selected truly means more than words can express. This donation is going directly towards paying down some of our outstanding veterinary bill and helping us continue to fight for the lives of our heroes who depend on us every single day.

Our entire squad—and every hero we serve—is deeply thankful for their kindness and compassion. We were happy to have our founding Board Member and our founding Azusa foster family there in attendance to receive this award.

Please support the Azusa Stater Bros. and their stores; they truly care about giving back and uplifting local charities that make a difference.

⭐️Lily Adopted⭐️

Lily has been home all along. Her amazing foster family decided to adopt her and make her a permanent member of their family. Her family has helped us foster many other heroes. They are wonderful heroes who are always ready to help.

When Lily joined their family as a new hero, time passed and they became a tight knit family and the they couldn’t bare the thought of not being in each other’s future. And so, her foster family Foster-failed. If you’re ever gonna fail at something, foster failing is the best thing to fail at 😍

Lily earned her superhero cape and was officially adopted by her Foster family. She’s super happy to stay with her loving heroes.

Congratulations to all!

Adopt our beautiful hero Lexi. She’s a Downey shelter survivor. She appears to be a Chihuahua terrier mix. She weighs about 16 lbs and is about two years old. She’s in great health.

Lexi is an overall good girl. She is very social and loves people and all dogs.; big and small. She does great on her walks and on her leash. She doesn’t have any reaction to other dogs while she’s enjoying her walk out in the neighborhood.

Lexi loves to play! She loves to play with her foster siblings and she also loves toys. She is obedient and loves to please her human. Lexi is very sweet. She is very affectionate and loves to show her gratitude and love. She is potty train, and once she is familiar with her routine at home, she does really well with communicating her needs.

She is a treasure! If you would like to adopt this beautiful girl, please submit an adoption interest application found on our website www join thescars.org under forms.

🚨Fireworks in your neighborhood? This is a reminder to do a check-in to ensure your dog/cat is geared up to have identification in-case they need to alert others where they belong.

Is your dog/cat ready? Help them be prepared to let people know where they belong. That is their communication key to the outside world. They are counting on us to keep them safe.

*Are they wearing their collar with tag?
*Is the info on the tag legible?
*Is the info on the tag current?
*Are they microchipped?
*Is the microchip registered and have your current information?
*Can they escape from your yard?

Keep them safe and help them with their anxiety. Fireman cause many pets to run away out of fear. Safety first! Check their collar and tag and ensure their chip info is up to date.

End of year Giving 🐾

2025 flew by! Our squad grew with new heroes; 2 and 4 legged! We welcomed new fosters that helped them heal internal/external scars, nursed them, taught them to live indoors, loved them, taught them trust and introduce them to the beautiful side of humanity.

Adoptions were slow this year. However, we are proud of the adoption matches we made. We never settled; always chose the best match. We still have several pups that will require long-term care and rehab, including our vintage heroes who are in fospice care. No matter how long it takes, they will have our squad to love and protect them.⠀

We kept our bonded heroes together and remain committed to matching them with families that will treasure them together. We saved several medical dogs that required thousands of $ of medical care (we still have a big portion of those balances to pay). We saved several behavioral heroes that will need long-term rehab from the trauma and abuse they experienced in their past. We also saved several senior pups that were discarded by their families at the shelter or were labeled as strays by the shelter.⠀

We receive requests to help daily. Our President Michele, networks dogs in need behind the scenes. We are grateful for the other Rescue Groups we work closely with, because there is strength in numbers.⠀

We want to thank our squad families that adopted our fur-heroes and chose to rescue! We are blessed to call you family. We want to thank and honor or foster families who lovingly and selflessly open their homes and hearts to help save heroes. You are amazing heroes who love them and serve as their advocates and nurturers. Without you we can’t save them. You are the heartbeat of this rescue effort.

We are infinitely thankful to our friends, partners and supporters who have contributed to our mission. Thank you for trusting us with your donations... your contributions allow us the means to help pups beyond our resources, however with your help and support we made it possible to help dozens of heroes in need.

Second vet visit for our Christmas puppy trio. Jack, Nick, & Winter are officially 8 weeks old now. They each gained a pound and weigh 3 lbs. They got their first set of puppy vaccines and are in great health.

They have been dewormed and are now acclimated to their kibble and wet food diet. They are super smart and already purposefully using the p*e pad for potty time.

We need more supplies for them. Please visit out AMAZON and Chewy.com wishlists to help us provide the fosters with these essential supplies.

Thank you heroes!

Puppy Trio Update🐾

The babies are doing great! It’s been one week since they joined our squad and they’ve been keeping their foster parents very busy. The babies eat, sleep, potty, play, explore, and repeat all day/night long. Everyone is having lots of fun however supplies are about to run out.

The puppies are on canned food, kibble, goat’s, milk, and use a lot of p*e pads. If you are able to contribute with any of these supplies, we greatly appreciate it. Please visit our wish lists to place an order. Thank you for your continued support and help we can thank you enough!
