Sandy, A#1219443 back at the shelter for no reason except for her breed.
Sandy is a 3 yr. old spayed Staffordshire Terrier who has been at the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter since Oct. 9, 2011. Sandy and her 10 puppies originally came to the shelter on June 4, 2011.
Sandy or momma as we lovingly called her was a good mom who cared for her pups until it was time to separate from them. She cried and tried to reach them when they were put in a separate run. She had to be moved to a different part of the shelter where she could not see them. Her pups were all adopted very quickly and it was our wish that Sandy too would find a good home.
In Sept. the volunteers and staff were thrilled when a family came to the shelter to see her and decided to adopt her. It was our hope with Sandy, as it is with all of our dogs, that she find a good home with people who would love and care for her. Sadly for Sandy that did not happen. She was returned by the adoptive family because the landlord did not approve. They described Sandy as friendly with everyone and a good dog which we all knew from her previous time at the shelter. Sandy loves to play with her toys but more than anything she loves her people. She is good with other dogs and she is just a fun dog to be around as can be seen in this video.
Sandy is back again and again we hope that she finds that special person who will not only love and protect her but be committed to her so that can finally feel safe and secure in her forever home. Please help Sandy find that special person.

Charlie the low-rider Lab RETURNED!!! :-(
 |
| Charlie ID#A1247525 |
It may be that Charlie needs some training. Whoever is lucky enough to adopt this great guy needs to know that training will be involved. Most dogs don't come home all perfectly trained and it's only fair to assume that training is mandatory to have the dog that you want. No one wants an ill-behaved dog, right?!!! You can't blame Charlie that no one ever took the time to shape him into the best dog he can be, that's up to the guardian to make sure that happens!!
Did you know that when you adopt from the West LA shelter that you can bring your dog to some free training right there at the shelter! West LA has a great support system that will guide you through the first steps on the road to a LONG and successful relationship! For more info contact Charla at the WLA shelter!
Come meet Charlie at the shelter today. He's waiting!
So cute! Little Laurel sleeping like a baby now!

Laurel is sleeping so soundly now that she's out of the shelter. I even hear there is a video of her snoring! Okay, not so lady-like but what the heck, she deserves a little R&R after what she's been through!

Ring around the Rosie's (tail?) ID# A0811989
 |
| Rosie, the lovely senior girl waiting for you at the WLA shelter |
A picture is worth a thousand words! What else could one say about this picture of Rosie. Rosie is a beautiful 9 yr. old spayed Labrador retriever mix who was surrendered to the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter on Oct. 15, 2011. For Rosie life as she knew it came to an abrupt halt. She had a family once. For years she belonged and felt loved and then suddenly the family was gone.
Rosie is a sweet, gentle dog. She is easy to walk through the kennel and does not react to the other dogs. She sits on command and is probably housebroken. She has a very soft mouth when she takes treats. She loves belly rubs and anyone who takes time to rub her tummy will be her lifelong friend. If you sit on a bench she will climb up and curl up next to you. She just wants her own human companion. Sometimes she wiggles her hindquarters from side to side she is so happy to have someone pay attention to her.
Rosie's tail is quite amazing in its appearance and has to be seen rather than described. The mystery deepens but it's a good reason to come and see this wonderful, senior dog who deserves a warm place to rest but who still has plenty of life left and would love to be best friends with humans who would commit to her and give her that forever home that she so much deserves.
Come meet the beautiful & sweet Rosie now!

URGENT! Laurel A1247737 has LESS than 24 hours... loves people.
Laurel - ID#A1247737
URGENT!!
This wonderful dog named Laurel will be killed on Monday at the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter if we can't find a rescue or adoptive home for her. Please help!
Laurel is a 5 yr. old spayed female, black and white American Staffordshire Terrier who has been at the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter since Sept. 6, 2011. Laurel is a sweet young female who was found wandering the streets of South L.A. She was dirty and skinny and had had pups recently. It was thought that she may have been used for breeding and then simply thrown away. She was found "just hanging around someone's workplace". She was happy to have someone pay attention to her and be nice to her. She made herself at home and was ready to stay. She is described as "very friendly" and "not happy" which is no big surprise. She is very people friendly and loyal and when taken into the playyard she preferred to stay with the people looking for attention and companionship. In her run she wiggled her bottom and wagged her tail whenever anyone stopped by to see her. She is a sweet, wonderful dog who needs a chance to live and to be loved.
She is available now at the West LA Shelter on Pico Blvd.
