💜 BONNIE’S SECOND CHANCE DESERVES A FOREVER HOME! 🐾

Bonnie was just moments away from losing her life at a high-intake Southern California shelter. Thankfully, she got her freedom ride—and she hasn’t looked back! ❤️

Since being rescued, this beautiful German Shepherd has been thriving in foster care, building confidence, learning to trust, and showing everyone what an incredible companion she can be.

At 2 years old, Bonnie is intelligent, resilient, affectionate, and eager to please. More than anything, she wants to connect with her person and be someone’s loyal best friend. 🥹

🐾 A little about Bonnie:

❤️ 2 years old | 80 lbs | Spayed

❤️ Sweet, friendly, and people-loving

❤️ Great leash manners

❤️ Smart, intuitive, and eager to learn

❤️ Thrives with structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement

❤️ Can live with other dogs with slow, thoughtful introductions

Bonnie would flourish with someone who appreciates the loyalty and intelligence of a German Shepherd and is ready to give her the love, guidance, and stability she deserves.

Bonnie survived the shelter. Now she deserves more than just a second chance—she deserves a lifetime of love. 💜

📍 Southern California

🐕 Available for adoption through @shepherds_paws_animal_rescue

FREEDOM POST FOR BECCA (#A5800602)

Meet Becca. 🖤🐾

At 5 years old and 86 pounds, this beautiful black German Shepherd has already been through more than she deserved. Found as a stray in Lancaster, she overcame kennel cough and made the journey to San Diego in search of a second chance.

Now, she's finally safe in a loving foster home. She can relax, soak up affection, and enjoy the simple things every dog deserves.

Becca is a gentle soul who absolutely craves human attention. She's dog-friendly, loving, and ready for a family who will give her the security and affection she's been waiting for.
She's made it this far. Now she just needs someone to make her journey home permanent. ❤️

Could you be Becca's forever? Please share her story to help this sweet girl find her people.

To everyone who pledged, shared, and rooted for her: THANK YOU!

🙏 Please honor your pledges and mention it's for BECCA! New donations are also deeply appreciated to help cover her care!

🚨💔 LOKI IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME! 💔🚨

LOKI #A5794199 | 7 YEARS | 47 LBS | HUSKY MIX

This sweet boy has been overlooked for far too long, and now he’s at the very top of the euthanasia list at the Santa Clarita Valley Animal Care Center. 💔 We are desperately worried Loki may not get another chance.

And what makes this so heartbreaking is that Loki is such a wonderful dog! ❤️

🐾 Loves people, attention, and belly rubs!
🐾 Has lived with young children and is playful and family-friendly.
🐾 Friendly with calm, compatible dogs.
🐾 Only 47 lbs with the softest, silkiest fur!
🐾 House-trained and loves toys, walks, and fetch!

At just 7 years old, Loki has so much life and love left to give. He should be curled up on someone’s couch, not sitting in a shelter kennel with his life on the line.

🙏 PLEASE DON’T LET LOKI’S STORY END HERE!

❤️ HOW TO ADOPT LOKI:

1. Visit the shelter ASAP and ask to meet Loki, animal ID #A5794199.
2. Call (661) 257-3191 to ask about his current status and adoption availability.
3. Email SCValley@animalcare.lacounty.gov with the subject URGENT ADOPTION INQUIRY – LOKI #A5794199. Include your name, phone number, and when you can come meet him.

🚨PLEDGES AND TRANSPORT NEEDED FOR BECCA🚨

BECCA (#a5800602) has been at the shelter since middle of September. She was found as a stray and possibly pregnant. She entered the shelter terrified and developed an URI and she has recovered but her time has run out.

This 5-year-old black German Shepherd at Lancaster Shelter needs a chance to leave the kennel behind and feel safe again. Homebound Hounds is seeking pledges to help cover her rescue and care.

Can you pledge $5, $10, $25, or any amount toward her second chance?

We also need transport for her from Lancaster to San Diego. Please message me or Homebound Hounds if you can drive her part or all of the way!

Comment your pledge below. Pledges are promises to donate once her rescue is confirmed-please wait for our freedom update before honoring them.

Please share this post to help Becca have a happily ever after.

🚨 HAIL MARY – 72-hour notification 🚨

Jamie #A5798070 ❤️

Jamie is a 4Y Spayed Female Shepherd/Aussie mix

She’s affectionate with her handlers, enjoys exploring the yard, greets other dogs appropriately, and is non-reactive. The behavior team found her to be behaviorally OK for public adoption and recommended her for a home with calm dogs. She’s a medium-energy girl who simply needs someone willing to continue building her confidence.

She has already been given another chance by being transferred to Santa Clarita ACC. Now she needs someone to give her a chance and a home.

Please don’t let Jamie’s story end here.

We can’t all be matcha girlies with our designer purse dogs—someone’s gotta ride for the rescue smokeshows serving top-shelf looks with flawless masks. 🍸🐼 ✨

Cooper and Damien have been turning heads with their elite main character energy all over the Valley for months. But they really need to find their forever homes NOW! They don’t have to be adopted together, but they definitely wouldn’t be mad if they became your ultimate power duo. 👯‍♂️

☕️ The Cooper Edit: 1 Year Old, 45 lbs
Cooper is a goofy, warm-hearted boy who leads with love and endless kisses. He is a complete character who has opinions, has feelings, and will absolutely narrate his whole day to you. He is wonderful with kids, great with other dogs, and his absolute favorite lifestyle flex is swimming in his foster’s pool. 🏊‍♂️ He mostly ignores cats on walks so there might be some possibilities there. 🤞

🍸 The Damien Edit: 1.5 Years Old, 50 lbs
Damien is a playful, medium-high-energy boy who wants to be your best friend from the second he meets you—unsolicited kisses absolutely included. He is a bit less vocal than your typical Husky, making up for it with pure, unfiltered enthusiasm. He loves kids, gets along well with other dogs, and is a joyful, eager-to-learn puppy who just needs someone to show him the ropes.

✨ The Vibe Check
Both boys are crate trained, healthy, neutered, up to date on vaccines, and looking for active homes ready for hour-long daily walks, structure, and the whole magnificent chaos of the Husky lifestyle.

✈️ Out-of-State Adopters Welcome! You don’t have to be local to bring these stunning boys home! Qualified out-of-state adopters are welcome to apply. Bubbles Dog Rescue considers adoptive families in any state and can even arrange transport to an approved applicant.

Ready to skip the designer price tag and adopt a certified 🔟?

Apply for adoption today at bubblesdogrescue.org/adopt to meet Cooper and/or Damien! 🐾

How many times does Yippee have to start over?

He’s been in the system since he was just a puppy. Rescued from Baldwin Park ACC. Yippee’s already been let down by two previous fosters who promised to keep him safe but backed out last minute! He’s been through so much, and now he’s about to lose another place where he finally felt safe and loved for months.

His current foster family’s circumstances have changed, and they can no longer care for him.

Without a new foster, Yippee will have to go into boarding, something Project BP Rescue needs help with financially.

We urgently need a committed foster who can keep him safe until adoption, or even better, a forever family.

If you can give Yippee a safe place to stay until adoption or interested in adopting him, please TEXT “ YIPPEE “ to +1 (818) 397-0339

If you’re unable to foster but would still like to help with Yippee’s care, please consider making a donation. Every dollar helps the rescue provide for him while we continue searching for a safe and loving home.

Project BP Rescue | 501(c)(3) Nonprofit
How to make a donation:
linktr.ee/ProjectBPrescue
Venmo: @projectbprescue
https://www.paypal.biz/projectbp
Note “ YIPPEE “

He’s dog-friendly, playful, and incredibly loving once he learns to trust you. Yippee just needs someone patient enough to give him that chance.

Adoption update: Maya #A5791947 — Beautiful New Beginning 🐾

Maya came to us as an owner surrender, carrying the sweetest smile and a heart full of love.

Her journey didn’t start the way it should have, but today, her story has the happiest of endings! Maya was adopted by a wonderful family in Canada, where her days are now filled with daily hugs and her very own sibling to have new adventures.

From a rough start to a life filled with love, Maya’s story is a beautiful reminder of why rescue matters.

Happy tails, sweet Maya! You are finally home. ❤️
