🚨 URGENT – PEGGY WILL BE EUTHANIZED TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY, OCT 8TH) AT DEVORE 🚨

Imagine being just a baby—only 4 months old—and already spending over a month of your short life behind bars in a loud, scary shelter. That’s Peggy. 💔

Peggy came in with her sisters on August 25th, but one by one they found homes… and she’s the only one left. Alone. Overlooked. Waiting.

She’s a tiny Shepherd mix, white and black with the softest eyes, full of sweetness and potential. She doesn’t understand why nobody chooses her—why she’s still stuck in a kennel when she should be learning how to chase toys, nap in the sun, and grow up loved. 🐾

👉 Tomorrow morning, her time runs out.

The good news? We have a foster offer and a rescue interested in saving her—but they can’t move forward unless we raise pledges to cover: • 🚐 Transport to her foster • 🏡 One night of boarding until her foster family can take her in • 🩺 Medical needs (Peggy is underweight and has a doggy cold; a medical waiver must be signed)

Without pledged support, the rescue cannot commit to Peggy’s care—and she will lose her life tomorrow.

📌 Peggy – ID #A827952 Med Waiver – 4 months – Shepherd Mix – Kennel D C632 At Devore Animal Shelter since 8/25/25

📍 Devore Animal Shelter 19777 Shelter Way, San Bernardino, CA 92407 📞 (909) 386-9820 📧 SBAC.Rescue@dph.sbcounty.gov

💵 Pledges save lives! Please comment your pledge below so Peggy can finally know love and safety. Time is almost gone—she needs us NOW.

Stars final notice expired! Star #A5738190 5Y Brown M Germ Shepherd 87 Lbs Star was surrendered for fear-based, defensive behavior, alleged ppl reactivity but no further details were given and no bite history.

In the shelter, Star seeks people. He allows handling, he solicited petting. He relaxes when he’s alone with humans. He enjoys walks, calm affection, and quiet connection.

Star is fearful in chaotic environments, sensitive around his paws, and clearly communicates discomfort - something many dogs do. He does not lash out randomly. He seeks affection, and relaxes when given space and calm, one-on-one interaction.

Star is not a dog for everyone. Loud environments overwhelm him. Pushy dogs stress him. He needs an experienced, adult-only home, ideally with no other pets or very calm, large dogs, where his boundaries are respected and his confidence can grow.

But needing the right home should not be a dea..h sentence.

And because he needs an experienced home, people scroll past.

Now he’s paying for that with his life.

Star is past deadline, with zero interest, sitting in a high-euth shelter where euthanasia for space happens daily

He just needs one patient, breed-experienced human willing to give him time.

✨ Star needs: • A local foster (3–4 months) in CA or the PNW • A rescue partner • Or a responsible adopter anywhere in the USA (out of state adoptions possible) •Pledges for his care and possible training •Shares to get seen (and hopefully saved)

✨ Fostering costs you NOTHING — all supplies and support provided.

If no one steps up, Star will quietly disappear. He just needs someone who understands him. Please don’t let a misunderstood dog lose his life unnoticed.

Can you foster or responsibly adopt Star?

HELP PLEASE My family has given me 24 hours to find my dog another home or they will have her euthanized. If anyone can take her in, I'm begging, please someone help me save her. Shes an absolute sweetheart, loves squeaky toys, is terrified of thunder, but doesn't do well with small dogs. She needs to be an only dog or with other large dogs. She takes a while to warm up to other large dogs. Shes about 4 years old, about 85lbs, a pit/staffy mix, fully vaccinated, healthy, house trained, crate trained, leash trained, does alright with baths but gets very nervous in raised tubs (tractor supply). I'll give all her toys, her crate, her harnesses and sweaters, everything, I just want to keep her alive, please. Im begging, if anyone can take her in or knows someone who can, PLEASE let me know.

Nobody stops at Miltons kennel. He isn’t loud. He isn’t flashy. He isn’t trending. Too young for a senior rescue, too old and grey for a puppy rescue, too undesirable for a adopter. Nobody gives Milton a chance. And that’s why he’s in danger.

He sits quietly at Downey ACC while louder dogs get noticed. While time runs out. While people scroll. Some weeks ago he was still happy and still had hope but now he’s given up.

🚨His final notice expired days ago and he will be euthanized any moment!🚨

He is easy with people, gentle to handle, and behaviorally ok for adoption — but none of that matters if no one sees him.

He is a sweet boy who came to the shelter as a stray but was very nervous at intake—crouched low and unsure about approaching—but he’s been making quiet progress. He can be anxious when being touched, though he does tolerate handling and does best with patience and calm reassurance. Unfortunately he got into a altercation with another dog in the playyard so he is no other dogs recommended or needs someone who’s very experinced. Milton is available for public adoption with a KHOA, so a thoughtful, understanding home is important. With a loving, safe environment, Milton has the potential to truly thrive.

Please share Milton before he’s gone.

Meet Daygo — about to be renamed Tyr after a Norse god of courage also missing a limb — because this 1-year-old puppy has already survived more than any dog ever should.

Tyr arrived at Solano Animal Shelter with injuries that didn’t match a car accident or an accidental trauma. The pattern suggested something far worse: intentional harm done to him by a human. He had severe head swelling, a fractured skull that no longer fully connects, a badly injured leg that was first set and then had to be amputated, and a bloody nose. He is… a mess. A puppy who has endured cruelty no animal deserves.

And yet — he remains gentle, sweet, trusting of people, and dog-friendly. His spirit is unreal.

A 501 c 3 rescue has stepped up without a foster or pledges and is pulling him today to save his life. He has been in the shelter since September, he doesn’t need to wait any longer to decline. The rescue head will personally foster him through his initial recovery, but they will need pledges to cover his extensive medical care and eventually a foster or adopter once he’s stable enough for that next step.

Tyr is only a year old, a puppy. He deserves a long, safe, love-filled life — not a final hour in a shelter after everything he’s already survived.

If you can pledge to support his surgeries, specialist visits, and recovery, please comment below or DM me and I’ll get you connected with the rescue. Every bit truly helps.

If you can’t pledge, sharing this post helps more than you know.

This puppy has fought so hard. We’re fighting for him now too.

DM me if you want to help in anyway.Let’s get Tyr the future he deserves. 🖤

🔴 URGENT — PLEDGES NEEDED NOW 🔴 🐾 PLEASE — Mama Prim & her 4 puppies will be euthanized tomorrow, October 22 if they are NOT rescued. 🆘😢 We need pledges immediately to get them out of the shelter and into a safe foster home. Every pledge helps — even $5. 🙏💔

⸻

There’s something so heartbreakingly pure about a mama and her babies curled up together — the way she wraps herself around them, keeping them warm, her nose resting gently across their tiny backs. In the middle of a noisy, unfamiliar shelter, they only have each other. You can almost feel the quiet love in that small circle of fur — a mother doing her best to protect her babies from a world that hasn’t been kind. 💔🐶🫶

But Mama Prim and her puppies don’t deserve to grow up — or lose their life— in the shelter. These little ones are at serious risk of infectious disease, and this family needs out immediately. ⏰🏥

Mama Prim has been nothing but patient and loving — the kind of mother that reminds you what real devotion looks like. All she wants is a safe place to raise her babies, somewhere soft to rest where they can finally sleep without fear. ❤️🐾

🆘 What your pledges will fund: • 🐶 Puppy vaccines • 🔬 Fecal exams • 🩺 Vet checks • ✂️ Spay / neuter when old enough • 🧸 Puppy supplies (beds, food, formula, wipes, etc.) • 🚗 Transport fees to move them to a foster/rescue

🐾 Save Nanette – ID #A2048807

3-Year-Old Female • Anatolian Shepherd Mix (White/Brown) Pregnant • Rescue Only 63 pounds Intake Date: 12/10/2025

⸻

🤎 Meet Nanette — A Terrified, Pregnant Mama Who Needs Safety

Nanette is a young, expectant mama who has endured more than most dogs ever should. She was one of 13 dogs abandoned on an elderly, ill resident’s property without food or water before being brought to the shelter on 12/10. She arrived pregnant, frightened, and shut down after this traumatic ordeal.

Nanette weighs about 63 lbs, is fully vaccinated, dewormed, treated with Advantage Multi, and heartworm negative. Despite everything she’s been through, she has shown no aggression—only fear, trembling, and complete overwhelm.

This gentle girl needs a quiet, patient rescue or foster who can help her decompress and provide a safe place for her and her unborn puppies.

⸻

🧾 Behavior Summary (12/10–12/12)

Extremely timid, fearful, and shut down due to trauma. Needs handling support, quiet environment, and decompression. • On intake, she was found trembling at the back of the kennel, unable to walk due to fear. • When leashed, she lay down on the floor, frozen and unsure of what to do. • Staff had to muzzle and carry her because she was too frightened to move on her own—not because she was aggressive, but because she was overwhelmed. • Notes describe her as very timid, with no mention of biting or attempts to harm anyone. • Continues to be extremely shut down in the kennel.

Nanette’s behavior reflects trauma, not temperament. She is scared, pregnant, and desperately in need of a safe, quiet place where she can begin to trust again.

⸻

🏥 Medical Summary • Weight: 55–63 lbs (pregnant) • Condition: Pregnant • Vaccines: DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies • Dewormed; Pyrantel given • Heartworm: Negative • Advantage Multi applied • “Apparent pregnant” noted by medical team

⸻

🆘 Nanette is rescue-only because she is pregnant and too timid for the adoption floor. She has endured severe neglect and abandonment and now faces euthanasia unless a rescue steps up. She has no chance without help.

This mama-to-be deserves compassion, safety, and a chance to bring her puppies into the world somewhere warm—not in a shelter, and certainly not with her life on the line.

⸻

💌 How to Help Nanette

❤️ Nanette has known only fear and instability—and now she is carrying puppies with nowhere safe to go. She is shut down because her world has never shown her kindness. But with the right rescue or foster, she has a real chance. She just needs a quiet home, patience, and a soft place to rest while she brings her babies into the world.

Please don’t let this be the end for a pregnant mama who never stood a chance. Nanette needs a lifeline now—someone to step forward before 12/13 and save two generations at once.

If you can help her in any capacity, please email today.

Meet Dot. Dot’s life will end before it really began without a foster, adopter, or foster. He is only 6 months old.

Reddit has refused to post for me all day after I got these guys 24 hours this am. Now it’s 12 hours. They will let Dot leave safely if someone out there wants him to foster, adopt, or rescue. Adoptions are over the phone. If you’re seriously interested they’ll give him more time to give you extra info as well. They’re just insanely overcrowded, dogs are living in pop up crates in hallways. There are 5 more dogs I asked for more time on that need folks, please help me save them. I arrange everything you need to make it happen, you just need to DM me and email the shelter.

Out-of-area adoptions are welcome.Adoptions can be done over the phone from anywhere in the U.S. and even Canada. Transport options are available and absolutely can be helped facilitated.

✨ Fosters through the shelter must live in Kern County — supplies provided.

✨ Out-of-county fostering possible — DM me ASAP for this option and still email the shelter. I can connect potential fosters with rescues that support fosters in the SF Bay Area, Sacramento Area, SoCal Area, and within driving distance of Tehachapi, and neighboring states.

✨ Rescues must be registered 501(c)(3).

Dot will not appear on the website because dogs on the euth list are removed, but the shelter is aware he is being networked and has given this short extension.

💔 Please DM me immediately and contact the shelter right now (email + text or voicemail are best) if you can adopt, foster, or rescue Dot.

This sweet baby needs a holiday miracle — please help make it happen.

💜🍼🐶 St. Joseph #A2053845

1/17 Stray | Staffie Mix | Male | 4 months | 27 lbs

💜 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet this puppy.

📝 Shelter Notes:

St. Joseph came in as a stray earlier today. He was found at a church after reportedly being attacked by a pack of larger dogs. He has multiple wounds on his rear area. He received radiographs and is still a bit groggy from sedation, but he is stable. His wounds were flushed and cleaned.

🚑 Medical Notes:

S/O: Tranquilized. Recent history of being chased and attacked by multiple large dogs. Multiple full-thickness wounds present over both hind legs, neck, and ventral abdomen. Respiration ausculted WNL. Mucous membranes pale pink, CRT 2 seconds.

Radiographs: Elevation of cardiac silhouette away from ventral thoracic wall. Moderate gas opacity in subcutaneous tissue over dorsum and thorax. Multiple soft tissue injuries to both hind legs.

Assessment: Pneumothorax and gas in subcutaneous tissue secondary to bite wounds. Lungs ausculted WNL, so no intervention required for pneumothorax at this time.

Additional deep wounds on ischium and inner right thigh also sutured. Silver sulfadiazine applied topically. Medications given: buprenorphine, convenia, cerenia. Will start carprofen and gabapentin.

Meet Burt

ID: #A2054385

🐕 Australian Shepherd Mix | White / Black | Male

🎂 DOB: 1/23/2020 (6 years old)

⚖️ ~57 lbs

📅 Intake Date: 1/22/2026

⸻

🩺 Medical Notes

Burt was left behind when his owner was deported. He arrived in severe field condition with multiple medical concerns:

• Heartworm HIGH POSITIVE – serious but treatable

• Dental disease: worn teeth, will need dental X-rays and professional cleaning

• Healing wounds, including scab on nose and mild redness/alopecia on front paws

• Vaccinated (DA2PP-V, Rabies, Bordetella), dewormed, and treated with Advantage Multi

Burt is stable and receiving care, but he cannot complete heartworm treatment or dental care without foster or rescue intervention.

⸻

🐾 Behavior Summary

Burt’s intake history reflects that he was left alone when his owner was deported—not that he was aggressive or dangerous. No concerning behaviors toward people are noted. He is likely confused, stressed, and missing his familiar human, which is understandable. Burt would benefit from a quiet, loving environment to decompress and regain trust.

⸻

💔 Why Burt Needs Help Now

Burt has survived abandonment, neglect, and serious medical issues—yet now faces an end of life sentence because no one has stepped up. At 6 years old, he still has many good years ahead if he can get the help he deserves.

⸻

🙏 Burt is gentle, loyal, and resilient. He doesn’t need perfection—he needs a second chance.

If you can foster, adopt, or tag Burt with a rescue, you can save his life today.

🐾 Meet Taco

ID: A2054769

Brindle / White Staffordshire Mix

Male • DOB August 27, 2025 • 6 months old • 24.2 lbs

Intake Date: January 27, 2026 (Stray – Field, Normal Condition)

------

💜💜Volunteer notes:💜💜

When I passed by the kennel of Taco, I saw him laying curled up in a ball on a little white towel that was in his kennel on the cement floor I'm guessing he was just trying to find the safest place to cuddle up on. When I begin to speak he did put his head up, but he didn't come close to the kennel door. He ust kind of laid there and watched me speak to him. I did eventually go into his kennel and brought him a warmer blanket to place on his bed along with some toys. He did get up on his bed and he laid down immediatelv. He did take a few treats from me very gently. When I was in his kennel, he did not jump on me. He was actually on the calm side for a puppy. l'm sure he's pretty unsure of what's going on and why he's where he's at. All the loud barking and the sound of the kennels closing and opening seems to scare him. It would be nice if he could get out of the shelter sooner than later as i'm sure he's very uncomfortable in his surroundings right now.

-------

🐶 BEHAVIOR SUMMARY

Taco is a friendly and curious young puppy:

• Calm and confident while being handled

• Shows interest in surroundings and engages with people easily

• Walks on a leash and adapts well to new environments

• Responds positively to gentle encouragement and treats

• Playful, attentive, and ready to bond with a loving family

Taco thrives in a structured, caring environment and is eager to explore and learn.

🏥 MEDICAL NOTES

Taco is medically stable and on treatment for mild gastrointestinal upset:

• Weight: 24.2 lbs (BCS 4/9)

• Heartworm test: Negative

• GI concerns treated with Panacur and Ponazuril; follow-up doses scheduled

• Vaccinations: DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies

• Dewormed (Pyrantel)

• Advantage Multi applied

➡️ Taco is a healthy, growing puppy whose mild digestive issues are manageable and fully treatable.

------

💙 WHO TACO IS

• A 6-month-old Staffordshire mix puppy

💜 Volunteer Notes:

This poor girl has been through it. Thirteen years old but her spirit is not broken. Her kennel was clean, she took soft treats gently, and she was a dream on leash. No reaction to other dogs other than a brief sniff. Not a bark out of her, no signs of aggression, and no jumping. She still has a lot of love to give, wouldn’t require much activity, and would be great with or without other dogs. Anyone that gives Foxy a chance will not regret it.
