UPDATE: 7/2/2010

This little guy we rescued and is resting comfortably at a foster in Redondo Beach.  He is the sweetest little man! Loves people and loves to sleep under the covers!  He has NO teeth and has to eat wet food.  He is up for adoption and if anyone is interested in adopting him, please fill out a adoption application here: carson cats and dogs adoption contract  Email it back to me at: cklein@lifesapet.com   and I will get in touch with you.  Here is a video of him when he was at the shelter: Click Here

Diamond, a three year-old chihuahua that needs a good home. She appeared in my parents’ front yard in Gardena on May 11. My parents are elderly and can’t keep her but took care of her for a few days while my sisters and I tried to locate her owners (by asking around the neigborhood and posting flyers). We also took her to VCA Coast in Hermosa Beach where we found out she has a micro-chip and that she is three years old, her name is Diamond and she was originally from the Long Beach Animal Shelter. VCA Coast called the number from the micro-chip but the person answering the phone denied having a dog. Since my parents couldn’t keep her (they are elderly and had to fly to Hawaii on May 23) and my sisters and I already have multiple pets, Diamond was brought to the Long Beach Animal Shelter on May 16. We were told that Diamond would be kept there until May 30, at which time the Long Beach SPCA (next door to the shelter) would take her, providing they had room for her.

Meanwhile, we had spread the word about Diamond to co-workers and friends. One of my co-workers said she knew someone who was interested so, on Sunday, May 30, my sisters and I went down to the Long Beach SPCA and my sister “adopted” Diamond. Since she was already spayed and had had the required vaccines and shots, we paid the $125 fee and took her home that day. Unfortunately, my co-worker’s friend was unable to take Diamond. Another co-worker of mine has been taking care of Diamond but can no longer do it. We only have a few days to find a home for her.

If you can take Diamond in, please contact: Stan L. Cabotaje Phone: 310-527-4364  e-mail: scabotaje @aol.com

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.

If you are interested in these sweet babies, please call or email me Christie Garvey (310) 560-6081 or email: christigarvey@ngc.com

Terrier Mix

RESCUED! Thanks All!!

I normally only network cats out of Carson Shelter, but the volunteers called me on Saturday and again today on this 4 month old terrier mix below to see if I could help network it and get it out of Carson Shelter.  It came in as a stray on 1/28 and apparently it may be blind.  The volunteers fell in love with him on Saturday and are extremely worried about him.  They say that there is no one networking this dog and no holds on it and they really want him to be adopted.  

He is as sweet as pie and comes running to you when you call his name. 

Carson has just gotten rid of 50 dog cages, did a huge mass killing of cats last week and the volunteers are just very concerned about getting this sweet young terrier mix out of there as soon as possible.
