๐Ÿšจ This adorable, playful, loving Shepsky is REX and he is scheduled to die Thursday. He is alerted for euthanasia and deadlined for 8AM 10/29โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ’”

What is most upsetting is that while the South LA shelter struggles with population control and alerts dogs for space, the shelter is too conveniently relying on dated behavior โ€” not current behavior โ€” to justify putting down dogs. Notably, this is a way to keep down the numbers of when the shelter euthanizes โ€œfor space.โ€ Rex is just the lastest victim of this horrible pattern in South LA. He is a sweet, young, one-year-old puppy who arrived at the shelter with two siblings (Reya and Dino). 

Rex is a fun, social, energetic boy who had been in kennel isolation for an upper respiratory infection from 9/25 until 10/18.  As anyone can imagine, such prolonged cage confinement is tough on any active, young dog who doesnโ€™t understand why, suddenly, he is not allowed to step outside of his concrete cage even for potty breaks. It was during this isolation period, specifically on 10/11, when staff reported that Rex was jumping in his cage, climbing the front, and spinning. That same day staff also reported that Rex had been repeatedly chewing a plastic floatation part of his water bowl (typical and understandable behavior from a puppy trapped in a cage with too much idle time and zero enrichment). Rexโ€™s URI confinement finally ended on 10/18 and his notes since then have been positive, namely heโ€™s consistently social and playful with other dogs in playgroup and sweet & engaging with volunteers and his playgroup handlers. This boy should not be facing death at the shelter but, sadly, he is EUTH LISTED for the staff reports on 10/11. He needs an adopter, foster or rescue to save him from South LA and his exit plan needs to be in place before 10/29. Help our young friend, please. Rex is at SLA waiting for you.

Mo was returned 2 days after getting out of the shelter. Now he has no where to goโ€ฆ

Due to unfortunate circumstances Moโ€™s foster canโ€™t keep him anymore. He is recovering from getting hit by a car. Weโ€™d love for him to recover in a home but have no one to turn to ๐Ÿ’”

If you can foster Mo please DM me or any of the collaborators!!!!
