❤️ MEET SYDNEY ❤️

Sydney is a very sweet, 3-year-old, female  mini husky/ pomsky dog who was rescued from the Palmdale shelter.

Sydney is a real sweetheart and is also good with other dogs, including small dogs.  She loves to go on walks, is very affectionate and likes to give kisses.  She is just a little love bug. She also loves to play in the water.

Sydney is very smart, knows basic commands and learns quickly. 

She she is a perfect size and would make a wonderful addition to any family.

She is available for adoption through Saving Gizmo's Friends. taken in Thousand Oaks, California by @hope_for_huskies

🚨🆘 DEADLINE - TUESDAY 10/20 @ 5 PM OR SOONER! 📍RIVERSIDE

💔 It is heartbreaking that a dog can face DEATH following kennel fights. Who was he kenneled with? 

What housing decisions & conditions possibly contribute to kennel fights?

Curious what assessments are conducted to establish compatibility & how are introductions handled? What precautions are taken to prevent conflicts?

When fights occur, which seems to sadly be pretty often, why does the focus appear to fall on the dogs rather than the circumstances in which they were placed?

🐾 PENGUIN -#A1936269
Siberian Husky •Male •4 yrs
📅 INTAKE: 9/8/26 

Gorgeous bi-eyed & parti-eyed with fantastic fluffer & STRUT! 

🔴 Participated in playgroup, greeted other dogs appropriately, tolerated their greetings, walked well on leash, sought human attention & returned to his kennel without difficulty.
🔴 Participated in another playgroup.
🔴 A kennel fight occurred. Penguin was described as potentially dog selective, with instructions to FEED SEPARATELY.
🔴 Participated in playgroup again. Later, another kennel fight was reported, which ended before staff arrived.

Was Penguin’s compatibility with his kennel mates reassessed? Were feeding arrangements changed? What safeguards were implemented before he was placed with another dog again?

Why isn’t separate feeding standard practice in shared kennels? Should it be? Why do dogs need to coexist 3-5 in a kennel in stressful shelter conditions, only to face deadly consequences when conflicts occur? Sad circumstances. 

Wonder why more kennels & safer housing isn’t available? 

I struggle to understand how beautiful & friendly dogs outside of kennels lose their lives for kennel issues. 

💔 Penguin has interacted appropriately with dogs in playgroups, walked calmly on leash & seeked affection from people.

PENGUIN shouldn’t pay with his LIFE. He didn’t choose to be homeless. 

🙏 EXPERIENCED RESCUE/ADOPTER NEEDED NOW!

🚨🆘 DEADLINED -TUESDAY 10/20 @ 5PM OR SOONER! 📍RIVERSIDE

🛑 WE ARE NOT THE SHELTER!

KENNEL FIGHTS. INJURIES. RIDICULOUS. Who chooses which dogs are put together? How are dogs introduced? Inside a kennel already occupied? Done correctly? With time & patience?

Notes can get him overlooked & KILLED, despite positive playgroups. Why aren’t kennel conditions & pairings scrutinized? Why KILL a dog for the KENNEL & pairings beyond a dogs control? 

Why isn’t feed separately STANDARD PRACTICE, instead of waiting for fights & KILL lists? Why aren’t more kennels being built? They had $2.5 MILLION for ADVICE!

Why force dogs to coexist 3-5 per kennel, then PUNISH them with DEATH when it goes wrong?

WHO holds the shelter accountable for its environment & decisions? How can anyone overlook this? 

🐾 PENGUIN A1936269
Siberian Husky•Male •4yrs 
📅 In: 9/8/26-Shelter📹

🔴Participated in playgroup, greeted other dogs appropriately & tolerated their greetings. Walked well on leash, sought attention from handler & returned to kennel without difficulty.
🔴Participated in playgroup.
🔴Kennel fight. Penguin noted potentially dog selective; FEED SEPARATELY. Why blame dogs? Why not identify ALL dogs in kennel?Breeds, age, genders- All that matters for proper placement. 
🔴Participated in playgroup. Later, someone alerted staff to kennel fight. Fight ended before staff arrived.

WHAT ASSESSMENT WAS MADE BEFORE PLACING HIM WITH A KENNEL MATE AGAIN? WHAT SAFEGUARDS WERE PUT IN PLACE? WHERE IS THE DOCUMENTATION?

A SHELTER has a duty to make safe housing decisions, not wait for fights & injuries. Dogs should be SAFE in SHELTERS. 

💔 Penguin showed he walks calmly on leash, seeks human affection & participates appropriately in playgroups. Those facts deserve consideration. 

HOW CAN HE BE DEADLINED WITHOUT ACCOUNTING FOR RISKS OF SHARED KENNEL HOUSING?

PENGUIN NEEDS-EXPERIENCED RESCUE/ADOPTER.

Rescued 10/18 ❤️ 

🆘 DEADLINED TO BE KILLED TUESDAY 10/20 @ 5 PM! 📍RIVERSIDE

🚨 ANOTHER DOG FACING DEATH AFTER THE SHELTER ENVIRONMENT CONTRIBUTED TO THE ALLEGED BEHAVIOR BEING USED AGAINST HER!

GUAVA HAS BEEN CONFINED SINCE AUGUST 29. AFTER WEEKS OF CONFINEMENT, SHE IS NOW FACING A DEATH SENTENCE!

🐾 GUAVA -A1934937
Siberian Husky • Female • 2 years
📅 INTAKE: 8/29/26

🛑 WE ARE NOT THE SHELTER!
PLEASE NO 😡 ANGRY EMOJIS! Help Guava be SEEN & SAVED! Choose ❤️ & SHARE!

📋 THE SHELTER’S OWN RECORDS RAISE SERIOUS QUESTIONS:

🔴 9/10 - Guava displayed appropriate greetings, playful behavior with other dogs & social behavior with handlers outside her kennel.

🔴 9/16 - Participated in playgroup.

🔴 10/2 - Participated in playgroup AGAIN.

Only a couple play groups in 50 DAYS - Why would she be expected to be doing well in 24/7 lock up? How miserable. 

🔴 10/13 - Staff documented their same famous lines - DECLINING IN THE SHELTER ENVIRONMENT.

YET THE SAME OBSERVATION CONFIRMED SHE WAS STILL DOING WELL WITH MULTIPLE KENNEL MATES!

🚨 SO WHAT CHANGED?

How does a shelter acknowledge that a dog is deteriorating in its environment & then justify killing that dog based on behavior observed under those conditions?

WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY? Where is the video? The shelters own video 📹 shows a beautiful friendly dog. 

Why do dogs seem to get the same negative notes when someone decides it’s time for them to die? 

💔 Guava has demonstrated social, playful behavior repeatedly. 

Why lock dogs up just to deadline & kill them for not enjoying lock up? 

A shelter should be working to address the effects of confinement, not treating a dog’s struggle to cope as justification for ending her life.

🚨 WHAT EFFORTS WERE MADE TO ADDRESS GUAVA’S DECLINE BEFORE ASSIGNING HER A DEADLINE TO DIE?

Was she given additional enrichment, behavioral support, a quieter environment or an opportunity to decompress?

If those measures were attempted, WHERE ARE THEY DOCUMENTED?

GUAVA DESERVES AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE, NOT A DEATH SENTENCE FOR ALLEGEDLY STRUGGLING IN AN ENVIRONMENT SHE DID NOT CHOOSE.

10/18 - Rescued 🎃 🚨🆘 DEADLINED TUESDAY 10/20 @ 5 PM! 📍RIVERSIDE

💔 BEAUTIFUL GUAVA HAS BEEN WAITING SINCE AUGUST! NOW THE SHELTER ENVIRONMENT IS TAKING ITS TOLL ON HER. PLEASE DON’T LET HER STORY END HERE! 🙏

🛑 I AM NOT THE SHELTER!
PLEASE NO 😡 ANGRY EMOJIS! It just HURTS dogs from being seen. Choose ❤️ & SHARE!

🐾 GUAVA -#A1934937
Siberian Husky • Female • 2 years
📅 INTAKE: 8/29/26- Awesome shelter media 

💔 GUAVA HAS BEEN IN THE SHELTER FOR OVER 7 WEEKS! That’s 52 days of confinement by her deadline. She deserves so much more than a kennel and a death sentence.

❤️ PLEASE LOOK AT HER EARLIER SHELTER OBSERVATIONS!

🔴Once outside, Guava greeted other dogs appropriately, PLAYED with them & was SOCIAL with handlers!

❤️Participated in playgroup many times & doing well with multiple kennel mates!

🥺 HOW HEARTBREAKING! A dog who previously played, socialized & interacted appropriately is now deadlined to die. 

THE SHELTER ENVIRONMENT IS STRESSFUL FOR DOGS. SAD TO END A DOGS LIFE FOR THINGS BEYOND THEIR CONTROL. 

💔 Guava has demonstrated that she can be social & playful outside her kennel. She deserves patient, experienced handling, time to decompress & an opportunity to feel safe again.

🙏 PLEASE DON’T LET HER FINAL DAYS BE DEFINED BY FEAR! HELP GUAVA GET OUT ALIVE!

10/18 - Rescued 🎃 🚨🆘 URGENT - PLEASE HELP SAVE BABY MCBETH! ❤️

💔 ONLY 12 WEEKS OLD! McBeth has been given a SAME-DAY DEADLINE to leave Riverside shelter TODAY, SUNDAY 10/18 @ 3 PM OR SOONER!

🙏 This sweet little puppy is sick, vulnerable & desperately needs someone to give her a chance. PLEASE DON’T WAIT!

🛑 I am NOT THE SHELTER!
PLEASE NO 😡 ANGRY EMOJIS on my urgent networking posts. It hurts the reach of the post. I’m trying to help dogs. Help me help them by choosing a ❤️ & SHARE!

🐾 MCBETH -#A1941310
Shepherd Mix • Possible Husky Mix • Female • 12 weeks • 14.2 lbs

📅 INTAKE: 10/9/26

💔 After spending 9 days at the shelter, McBeth was given only a few hours of public notice to find a lifesaving exit TODAY. Desperately hoping a rescue, foster or adopter can step forward in time. Pledges needed. 

🩺 MCBETH’S MEDICAL HISTORY:

🔴 10/10 - Bloody diarrhea, but still eating. Parvo & Giardia tests NEGATIVE.
🔴 10/15 - Continued diarrhea, but she remained active, alert & eating well.
🔴 10/17 - Became severely lethargic, vomiting & refusing food. Parvo NEGATIVE again. X-rays raised concerns about possible gastrointestinal conditions. She received meds, fluids & supportive care.
❤️ 10/18 - ENCOURAGING NEWS! Staff reported McBeth ATE OVERNIGHT!

🙏 Hope this little improvement means McBeth can recover with continued veterinary care. Her exact medical condition remains undiagnosed, & she deserves the opportunity to receive the treatment she needs.

💔 She’s just a baby with her whole life ahead of her. Please help find someone willing to give her that chance.

🚨💔 SHE’S ONLY A BABY HERSELF… AND SHE MAY BE ABOUT TO LOSE HER BABIES. 💔🚨

URGENT — SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA — DEADLINE TODAY, OCTOBER 18, AT 2 PM!

Look into Layla’s beautiful blue eyes. Look at her sweet little face. She has no idea that her future is hanging in the balance.

Layla is only ONE YEAR OLD. Just a baby herself, abandoned and left behind in a shelter. Now, veterinarians suspect she may be pregnant.

Instead of a warm bed, a loving family, and a safe place to rest, Layla sits behind shelter walls, waiting for someone to choose her.

💔 Tomorrow, October 19, she is scheduled for a spay surgery that would end her pregnancy if she is expecting.

She doesn’t understand deadlines. She doesn’t understand why nobody has come for her. She only knows the loneliness of a kennel and the hope that someone might finally take her home.

PLEASE DON’T LET HER STORY END THIS WAY.

We desperately need a RESCUE, FOSTER, OR ADOPTER willing to step forward and give this young girl the safety and medical care she deserves.

LAYLA’S INFORMATION:

🐾 Name: Layla
🐾 Shelter ID: A597571
🐾 Breed: Siberian Husky
🐾 Age: 1 year, 1 month
🐾 Sex: Female
🐾 Weight: 30.5 lbs (last recorded)
🐾 Pregnancy: Suspected, not yet confirmed
🐾 Kennel: 07-17

🚨 RESCUE DEADLINE: OCTOBER 18 — 2 PM
🚨 SURGERY SCHEDULED: OCTOBER 19

📍 San Bernardino City Animal Shelter
333 Chandler Place
San Bernardino, CA 92408

📞 909-998-4000
📧 sbcitypets@sbcity.org

PLEASE SHARE HER EVERYWHERE. Tag Husky rescues, foster networks, animal advocates, and anyone in Southern California who can help.

If you cannot foster, SHARE. If you cannot adopt, SHARE. If you know a rescue, TAG THEM.

One share could reach the person who saves Layla.

She has already been forgotten once. Please don’t let the world forget her again.

💔 SHE IS WORTH SAVING.
