Meet Nebula, an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois with a heart as big as her name suggests. 🌌 This sweet and loyal girl once had extensive training, and it truly shows in her manners and intelligence. She’s eager to connect with a patient, devoted person who will help her rediscover her skills and confidence.

Nebula absolutely loves attention and thrives on human companionship. She would do best in a home where she can be the center of your world — your loyal shadow, adventure buddy, and best friend. While she prefers to be the only dog, she’ll fill your home with so much love that you won’t need another!

Nebula is ready to start her next chapter — could that be with you? Giving her a second chance would truly be a privilege. ❤️

To be PTS on Saturday. Visalia has a VERY short window of opportunity for dogs to be adopted or resucued.

Both stunningly lovely and sweet. Her 10 day stray hold ended and now her seven day adoption or rescue window has closed. She was scheduled to be euthanized today at 6 PM but we managed to get her a 2 day extension. Rescue, foster, adopt to save her life.

‼️⚠️📢 Dogs are at a high risk of euthanasia as soon as their 'available date' (per the shelter manager) and dogs can not stay at the shelter longer than 7 days due to the city budget (per the city manager). In 2023, the shelter had a 27% euthanization rate. In other words, if you are interested in adopting an available dog, time is of the essence. For any questions or to voice your concerns regarding the shelter's euthanasia policies and procedures, contact the City of Visalia council members and/or attend a city council meeting to make your voice heard.

Tagged and Rescued per the Shelter!

THIS EMAIL CAME FROM THE STANISLAUS SHELTER APPENDED TO THEIR SECOND AND FIRST REQUEST. THIS MOM AND PUPS ARE NOW EXTREMELY URGENT. IT IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE OF IT WOULD BE BEST IF THEY COULD FIND A FOSTER TO AVOID DISEASE AND ANGST. NOW THEIR LIVES ARE DEPENDANT ON A RESCUE OR FOSTER. THEY ARE A STRONG AND RESILIENT FAMILY THAT DESERVES TO LIVE.

UNBELIEVEABLE ☹💔 THIRD REQUEST – NO INTEREST ~ 11 days ago I emailed my first request to help this family without response. A follow up email was sent earlier this week and again, crickets 💔. Trust me, I do understand this is a BIG ask, this is a large litter but we CANNOT continue to house them here at the shelter. The puppies are now listed as 3-weeks-old, they are nearing the next stages in their growth and development and it is going to become challenging and detrimental to their well being to continue to be housed in this environment.

Momma Asker has been doing all the hard work amid the stress of this environment she has been resilient and managing well. As unfair as this has been to her she is happy-go-lucky and deserves a chance to continue doing what she does best! There is nothing that we have noted about her behavior that has suggested issues with people, she does appear reactive to dogs in the yards but I'm unsure if this is barrier reactivity. Of course we only know what we have experienced with her here but still... she deserves a chance.

This family will be added to the Final Due Out List next week and will need a plan by Saturday 11/23/24 at 4:30pm. 💔 I know this will rile the masses and I can't image adding this family to the list so we are begging and pleading to find a way to keep them ALL safe.
