THIS IS A VOLUNTEER NETWORKING PAGE FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ANIMALS. WE ARE NOT THE SHELTER. WE DO NOT MAKE DECISIONS REGARDING THE ANIMALS. SHELTERS ARE FULL!
🔊🆘 3/28 - Code Red Urgent “At Risk.” Needs immediate exit from San Jacinto. Can be KILLED anytime. Please do NOT delay to save. Shelter is way over capacity. Please help now.
It’s really hard for Pitties to get out alive. Needs help now. Constantly in trouble for just being a Pittie and not enjoying 24/7 lock up. Kenneled photos and videos from the shelter are just sad. All dogs deserve yard time and a decent photo and video to help save their precious lives. Please share.

***Mature Shepherd Who Was Abandoned at the Shelter almost 5 Months Ago is Deadlined at Riverside (videos & notes below) Must Exit by Wednesday 4/1 at 5pm or they will kill him!
✨🖤🤎 Lobo Needs Exposure NOW🤎🖤✨
Cutie Pie Lobo has waited since 11/10 for someone to help him! He was left at the shelter, and was never reclaimed. He has participated in multiple play groups, he has had multiple kennel mates, and loves people. Can you open your home 🏡 up to him? He’s such a good boy and should not be sentenced to die. He is kennel stressed after being there so long but that will dissipate once he decompresses out of a kennel environment.
🐾He needs a responsible adopter or dedicated foster and reputable Rescue to bail him out of there. You can also try to foster directly through the Shelter if you are local. If you can help in anyway, please comment below and maybe a plan can come together for him. Please check out his videos in the comments ⬇️ below

❤️🔊 3/27 - Now Deadlined to take a FINAL WALK and be KILLED at Riverside on Tuesday 3/31 at 5 pm if no one gets this precious dog out. Shelters are FULL!!
This adorable dog is about to lose his precious life for absolutely nothing! Likely an error on his kennel card that can cost him his life.
A rescue volunteer visited him. There was NO alarm barking and NO bouncing off of kennel walls. Dogs even passed outside of his kennel and he had NO reaction. What was witnessed was a sad defeated dog. A friendly dog that took treats gently. A precious dog HOWLING for HELP. Please hear his cries. We CANNOT let the shelter KILL this precious dog for space. Please help him get out alive.
Per shelter - Walks very well on a leash. As a precaution use 2 leashes in case he possibly chews through one. It’s always a good idea to double leash new dogs. Don’t want to lose them. Per shelter he played in doggie play groups multiple times. Played with helper dog. Solicits attention from people and has been friendly with staff. Shelter said - “Social with handler and NOT dog reactive.”
Very confusing shelter notes - they labeled his kennel card as not being able to be kenneled with other dogs with NO notes as to why. NO notes as to any kennel fights. He’s clearly been fine with other dogs. He’s been there for 3 months and had kennel mates with no issues. Even if they gave him or any dog kennel mates that didn’t work out, it is NEVER the dogs fault and no dog should have their lives taken for that. 🎥You can clearly see him with other dogs in his shelter yard video.

Saving them one Paw at a Time
WE ARE NOT THE SHELTER.
Posting animals in need in Rivco locations. Just trying to save as many as we can. Not affiliated in any way with any location. We are NOT the shelter. We do NOT make any decisions on any of the animals. All questions should be directed to Rivco. We post anmals in need based on the animals posted on Rivco’s website and PetHarbor. PetHarbor links are in the posts. We have NO further information than what’s already in the posts. Sending us private messages, will NOT get you more information and we do NOT have time to monitor that inbox. We update posts constantly as updates become available and as time allows. All questions regarding adoption, rescue, status, etc. should be directed to Rivco, NOT us.
We are just trying to help the animals get more exposure, so hopefully they can be adopted by a loving forever family or a reputable rescue can save them. We are not for or against the shelters. Over breeding, not spaying and neutering, dumping and surrendering, not adopting for life, etc., is a society problem. Their is just sadly not enough respect for animals in our society. We can learn so much from them. Sadly, not everyone sees their worth.
We do NOT believe that killing innocent animals should be accepted as normal in any society. These animlas were neglected, abused, unwanted, dumped for any reason-moving, new job, just going through stuff, marriage, divorce, a new pet, a new human baby, failed over and over in so many ways, too many to list them all. Therefore, we created this page. We try to be their voice because they have no voice. They didn’t ask to be born. They didn’t ask to be locked up and they certainly didn’t ask to be walked to their death.
