I'm on several mailing lists for dog rescues and just got an email from one of them that is trying to place some beautiful dogs.

-------

Can you help? They're currently in the Baldwin Park Shelter - a HIGH KILL facility.

4275 North Elton, Baldwin Park, Ca 91706 Phone 626-430-237


A3931339 One year old male German Shepherd. Impound date January 27, 2009

A3931968 This approximately three year old tan with black markings male shepherd mix came into the shelter on January 29th as a stray. Weighing approximately 45 pounds, he is a little shy at first, but once you hang out with him he warms up and becomes your best friend. He loves tummy rubs. Right now he is suffering from kennel cough and is in urgent need of rescue. He is in kennel 401.

A3937074 Happiness is a warm puppy and this 4 month old male German Shepherd mix proves the point! Eager to please, playful, gregarious and smart, he already knows how to sit on command. He loves people and other dogs, gives kisses and adores having his belly rubbed! He came into the shelter as a stray on February 16th.His previous owner had cropped his ears badly.This fantastic dog weighs approximately 35 pounds and is going to be a big boy. He will make an outstanding family pet for someone living in a private home.He is in kennel 216.

A3919029 This nine month old neutered male Shepherd/Corgi mix puppy came into the shelter as an owner turn in on February 13th. He is a unique looking dog with a long body and short legs. Weighing approximately 40 pounds, he loves people and other dogs and enjoys being the center of attention. He wants desperately to be part of a family and is good with people. He will make a remarkable family dog in both apartment and private home settings. He is in kennel 234.WATCH a Video of this boy at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI4OXS-dK8

A3936647 This 9 month old female Shepherd/Border Collie mix came into the shelter as a stray on February 14th. She is exceptionally friendly and has lots of puppy energy! Weighing approximately 35 pounds she loves belly rubs and attention. She adores people and other dogs. She loves to run and play. She will be the perfect family dog for someone living in a large home.

A3937805 Twinky is a two year old blond female Labrador Retriever mix who was turned into the shelter with her friend Roxy (A3937837 below), on February 18th when her owner lost his house. Remarkably affectionate, this 35 pound high energy girl is eager to please. She loves to give kisses and cuddle, and also loves to play. She will be great with kids and will make an outstanding family dog!

A3937837 Roxy is a 2 year old Basset hound/Shepherd mix who was turned into the shelter with her friend Twinky (A3937805 above)by her former family when they lost their house on February 18th. Weighing approximately 30 pounds this girl loves people and other dogs. She enjoys giving kisses and getting belly rubs. Extremely sweet and mellow this dog will be a perfect family dog and also would be good with seniors.WATCH a Video of this girl at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r70Dd6njidY

A3938074 Roxy, a pretty two year old female black and tan Shepherd mix came into the shelter on February 19th when her owner lost his home. She is very scared at being in the shelter, but once she knows you she bonds easily. She gets along with people and other dogs, and will make a very good family pet.

Looks to me like someone should adopt a keyboard with a working space bar.

Dogs are the best.

Here's Blackie, one of mine, who is obsessed with water.

These things get forwarded and some of the formatting gets mangled. I guess I'll edit for readability...

Have any of them been trained to attack black people?

Kristy MacNicol got the last one, and it was tragically driven insane by the awesomeness of Paul Winfield.

A3937074 looks like he will eat you in your sleep, or your kids.

LOL. He looks sweet, just scared. If I didn't have three dogs already, I'd adopt the German Shepherd at the top. What a gorgeous dog!

If someone wants to give me a couple hundred thousand dollars so I can put a down payment on a home in LA, I'd be more than happy to get a dog.

They're on Petfinder, which is probably a better way to find a home than CHUD. Especially for little mangy pit bulls. They're cute but they look like they are in desperate need of veterinary care.

I can't help feeling awful for the family that lost its home and had to give up on the dogs at the same time. Thats horrifying.

There are pet friendly rentals. And friends. And family.

I get so many of these emails every day but this one stopped my heart.



If I didn't have 3 (soon to be 4) dogs, I would adopt this poor beautiful albino baby.

So, again, sorry to depress, but if anyone is looking for a dog, this looks like a great best friend.

If you hear of any shelters in the area that recently came across a severely injured maltipoo then I'm interested. Very interested.

It's a cross between a maltese and a poodle. Adorable as the day is long.

That looks like the lovely result of inappropriate double dilute breeding, which anywhere in the southwest will result in a lovely skin cancer along with the poor soul being nervous all the time since he can't see or hear you approach.

There is a reason these pups are usually put down if they are bred (usually accidentally) -- they don't find homes, and they tend to have a high rate of accidental (startle) bites. That's of course, assuming they don't have other major genetic faults.

By the way, he's probably not albino. He's probably double dilute (a mix of two "blue" or other dilute colors) which results in the color pigments being messed up, and they are embryonically related to nervous and sensory development, hence the lack of eyes and the lack of appropriate innervation of the ears.

Poor little thing. The good news is a rescue adopted him, so at least he's not going to be put down.
