Many times as a rescuer, you are at the shelter and by chance, you get the story of a dog who is turned in by his owner, or the details of where a dog was found and what his or her story is…However, most times they are nameless animals, with only an intake ID number, where we can only guess and speculate about their past.   

But meet Luke.

This one photo of him tells the story of a thousand words.  

The story of heartache, despair, abuse and neglect.

Freddy has been doing very well at his new foster’s home but unfortunately he can no longer stay there permanently.  We are looking for a permanent foster/adopter for him hopefully by Monday 7/12.  He is approx. 4 lbs and doesn’t take up much room! He is a little on the jealous side and wants all your attention..he is such a love!  He just wants to be held and cuddled.  Read here to see Freddy’s story.  PLEASE if anyone can foster this little guy please give me a call or email Caryn Klein 310 498 3226 or cklein@lifesapet.com

Little Freddy

Can anyone help out with this Chihuahua that was just found today in a Venice neighborhood near Washington Blvd? He was found by an acquaintance of mine and is currently with her. She cannot keep him or foster him for very long. Hoping someone has some room for this little guy. She took him to the vet, he does not have a chip and he is not neutered though I think that she will handle that. If there are no foster homes available, is there any adoption group near the Venice area that would be willing to allow this little guy to join until he gets a home? It seems he was abandoned, no one is claiming him. Flyers were put up and the lady who has him asked around in the neighborhood. Please, if anyone can help, contact Candy or Ming @ ming@reikifurbabies.com USING SUBJECT AS CHIHUAHUA or call Candy @ 310 821 4801

Please pass along and share. Any help is much appreciated!!!

Lucy, Champ and Luke are all purebred Papillions we bought in 2004.  Lucy is the youngest and the smallest, about 8 lbs.  Champ is about 6 mos older than Lucy and 6 mos younger than Luke and is about 18 lbs.  Luke is the oldest and weighs about 22 lbs.  Due to some health issues in our family we can no longer provide the level of attention we think these guys should have.  

Lucy is very active and loves to play catch.  She is very happy and outgoing.  She does not seem to realize she is a small dog and has stood up to dogs much larger, always making friends in the end.  We have hardwood floors and she once wagged her tail so hard she fell over! 

Champ comes from champion blood lines and he clearly has good breeding as seen by his role in the group.  When we brought Lucy home she was just 3 lbs.  We set her in her basket when she got tired and Champ climbed in next to her and put his right, front leg over her.  Later on when she could not make it down a stair champ picked her up by the rough of her neck and carried her.  Lucy was squirming all the way.  Champ loves to run and play at the dog park and to tussle with Luke. 

Luke is the most patient dog.  Lucy will be pulling on his tail to get him to play and Luke is very even tempered with her antics.  Luke loves to have his tummy rubbed and enjoys playing with both Lucy and Champ.  All dogs are trained to walk on a leash and do their business outside.  They are socialized both with people and with other dogs.  Once Champ got out of the back yard and we found him sitting beside the gate, which had closed, waiting for us when we got home. 

These guys have been spayed and neutered, have all their shots, and have had good care from our vet.  They are very friendly even when smaller children may be a bit rough.  They are located in Manhattan Beach, California.
