Foster highlight! #fosterhighlighting Posted @withrepost • @northcentralshelter Precious is the perfect name for this lovable lady! Thanks to a #4days4life (or longer!) foster, this PRECIOUS girl was able to spend a month in a foster home where we were able to learn more about her and help find her perfect fit for a forever home! Read what her foster shared below, and MESSAGE US or visit the shelter to meet her. 💘 . “Precious is the sweetest girl who loves being cuddled and pet. She was anxious and excitable when I first took her home, but after a few days of decompressing from the shelter her personality really started to shine. With someone who can provide structure and discipline like I did, she picks up on leash manners fast. When we went on our walks she made tremendous progress and walked right by my side. When she pulls the leash, I corrected her and she got right back in line. She has the perfect flexible energy. She will happily be out all day long and go on hikes, etc., but can easily lounge around all day too. In fact, her favorite thing to do is curl up on the couch. She's the best snuggler and cuddle buddy! She is house-trained. She does all her business outside and even waits by the door when she needs to go. On our daily walks, she has been non-reactive to other dogs and children. We haven’t been around cats. She is a VERY sweet and loving dog, and super smart. In all, she needs a home with structure and someone who can be consistent with her training and give her all the love she needs!” . Precious the adorable marshmallow is a perfect medium-energy friend, who, at seven years old and just 45 lbs, deserves a life where she can be loved and appreciated. We think you’ll agree, Precious is indeed too precious to be forgotten. Come “boop” this nose today!

#4days4life For those in LA: The July 4th Holiday is disastrous for animals in #shelters in #LA. If you can #foster a dog for just 4 days, you will be saving (k9/cat) lives, quite literally. #NKLA #overcrowdingisnojoke https://www.instagram.com/p/BzPR36tBelS/?igshid=1285tnrageznk

7/5/17 @friendsofeastvalley Beautiful Bella is enjoying a break from shelter life. Here's what her foster says "Meet beautiful Bella, my #4days4life foster! Bella (#A1578661) is a 6yo staffordshire who's smile lights up the room. She is housebroken, knows all of her basic commands and is so excited to see us each time that she'll first bring us her favorite toy and then cover us in kisses - Bella knows how to make me feel like the most important person in the world. We've snuggled together on the couch for movie time, played fetch and she looooves her belly rubs. Bella walks well on the leash but is reactive towards cats so would be best in a house by herself or with other dogs. We adore this girl so much and are truly jealous of the family that will someday call her theirs!! 💗 Bella is looking for a forever home, long term foster or rescue after Friday so she doesn't have to go back to the shelter. Please help! 😥" Please let us know if you are interested in adopting or fostering Bella so she doesn't have to go back to the shelter! ____________________________ #eastvalleyanimalshelter #eastvalleyshelter #eastvalley #adoptdontshop #LosAngeles #laanimalservices #laanimalshelters #nkla #fosteringsaveslives #adoptme #petadoption #adoptionistheonlyoption (at Van Nuys, Los Angeles)

From Frannys Foster: "Avanti aka Franny #A1710146 East Valley Animal Shelter. Listed as: 12 years old, mini schnauzer/mini poodle mix, 16 lbs. This is Avanti, but we like to call her Franny. She is our #4Days4Life foster pup. I can't express how sweet this girl is! She isn't needy & doesn't ask for much. We're working on potty training, but she seems used to going on doggy pee pads. A few days after we brought her home she started coughing. She possibly has kennel cough and is currently on antibiotics and cough suppressant. She likes to spend time outside and before she got sick, she enjoyed going for walks. She likes to see what everyone in the house is up to. She simply enjoys being around her people. She is okay around dogs of all sizes. She doesn't bark much, just a couple times at the cats next door. I really don't want to take her back to the shelter while she's sick, but I'm not sure how much longer I can care for her. Please help share this sweet girl! To meet Franny or for more info, you can text Jennifer 818-212-0948" If you are interested in adopting or long term fostering Franny please call the number above or message they page and we can help you out ! Franny is still with the East valley animal shelter and is at risk of going back to a very full shelter. http://ift.tt/2vFwPaq

Attention all friends & doggie lovers: Celebrating our independence with fireworks can be scary for dogs and cats, as a result our animal shelters will need to make room for the influx of scared dogs that run away from their homes this 4th of July. Please save a life by fostering an adoptable dog this holiday weekend. #4Days4Life.http://goo.gl/YOxVe3 If temporary foster homes can’t be found hundreds of dogs will be euthanized to make room for the influx of animals that escape their homes during the weekend. If you can help, fill out a fostering application (http://goo.gl/YOxVe3) and take it to the North Central Animal Shelter. Contact Tiffani Hamilton at North Central Animal Shelter if you have any questions: Tiffani.hamilton@lacity.org 213.435-2238. Please Share!

#4days4life with the 4th of July coming up the North Central Shelter is preparing for their busiest week of the year. They R spooking for fosters to foster their adoptable dogs for a few weeks so they can make room for the numerous run aways that they will have coming in. If these dogs do not find homes or find a foster by then they will most likely have to be put down to make room for the heavy influx of runaways. Please spread the word to help these dogs out 🐾 #4thofjuly #doglovers #shelterdog #adoptadog #fosteradog #dogaddicts

Foster highlight! Posted @withrepost • @northcentralshelter FOSTER PUPDATE! Jolly low-rider Barbarella was lucky enough to go into a foster home at the beginning of July and is ready to find her forever family!! Read what her foster shares below and MESSAGE US or @ann.margaret.c to meet her! Barbarella is also a selected candidate for the @pawsforlifek9 training program- 6 weeks of free training for her adopter (inquire with them for more info)! 😃🐶 💫 Barb is a wiggly, happy girl with lots of love to give. Medium energy, she enjoys morning walks to the coffee shop where she’ll lay down and take it easy on the patio. She gets excited if another dog is there, but doesn’t take long to settle down. She was relaxed with my (since adopted) Cane Corso foster, but they never got a proper, dropped-leash meet. In the afternoons she likes playing ball in the yard. Every day she improves at walking with a loose leash. Barbarella sits for treats and is working on “down.” She’s a good girl about coming when called. Takes her meals and spends the night in her crate. She goes to it when told (sometimes needs a little treat for encouragement). Her personality is top-notch! Likes to keep tabs on my activities during the day, but isn’t clingy. Great evening cuddler! I haven’t let her on my sofa, but she’s snuggled up next to me on the bed as I type! Like her namesake, she’s the Queen of the Galaxy! ✨ Fetch-master Barbarella is 5 years old, weighs 61 lbs. and came in on 1/1/19 as a stray. Meet this epically awesome lady today! 💖 Barbarella #A1832240 ___________ All North Central animals come spayed/neutered, microchipped and current on all their shots (including rabies).

Sad thing about short term fosters are the dogs coming back. Good thing is we get even more insight. I renamed him Bruce Bearstein (formerly Bear) so I have a special place for him in my heart. Read fosters notes below and click on #ID NUMBER for more videos of him. - #Repost @northcentralshelter with @get_repost ・・・ Swoon alert! Bruce Bearsteen is a total superstar, who is having a blast in short term foster, and is now seeking a forever home or long term foster as he’s coming back to the shelter tomorrow, 7/9. Bruce’s foster has AMAZING things to say about this legendary cutie, who we really hope is swooped up soon! Read more about Bruce’s awesome time in foster below!💘 . “Bruce Bearsteen is so quiet and gentle. I haven't heard him bark or really make any noise unless he's playing tug o’ war, which he loves. He's very affectionate and will hug you and lick your face. He never bites or snaps not even when playing. He slept through all the fireworks, he seemed to have no anxiety whatsoever. He's fine around people and kids. When I saw him at the shelter there was another family interested and he came right up to the kids and was very friendly. When I take him on walks he's a dream on the leash. I've walked him and let him meet dogs that we come across and he hasn't been a problem, including small dogs. He does seem to prefer more mellow dogs. I haven't had him off leash with any other dogs. He needs some socialization with dogs as he can rush forward in excitement, which may seem pushy to other dogs. A good fit is someone who can train with him and is willing to commit to him forever. Bruce is really a great dog!” . Bruce is 3 years old, and came into the shelter on 12/13/2018, with another dog, Gracie (#A1829786) after their owner was arrested. Message us to meet him, or come meet him at the shelter this week! 🐻💗 Bruce Bearsteen #A1829785 ___________ All North Central animals come spayed/neutered, microchipped and current on all their shots (including rabies).

#Repost @northcentralshelter with @get_repost ・・・ Woohoo! Summer time, and the vacation has started! Take a look at the smiling faces of these happy pets who are getting a break from shelter life after being picked up for foster this weekend! We are so happy for them, and grateful to our community for giving what they can in foster time to help save lives over this, the most overcrowded time of year at the shelter. As you can see, these adorable boys and girls simply adore getting to celebrate freedom with their foster families. There is still plenty of time to participate in the #4Days4Life foster program! July 5th is often the shelter’s busiest intake day, so please do stop in any time before or after the 4th to speak with a volunteer or staff about which furry buddy might be best suited for summer vacay at your place! *The shelter is open to the public this week Tues., Wed., Fri, & Sat from 8-5 and Sun from 11-5!* ___________ North Central LA City shelter; 3201 Lacy St., Los Angeles, CA; 213-485-5767. ___________ #fosteringsaveslives #fosterme #4daysforlife #4day4life #4thofJuly #staycation #fostersneeded #fosteringsaves #fosteringisfun #fosterssavelives #adoptdontshop #rescue #takemehome #happypethappyhome #helpashelterpet #laanimalservices #volunteer #makeadifference https://www.instagram.com/p/BzZAaZCgWV2/?igshid=fkenuivez4kr

#Repost @rockyspals with @get_repost ・・・ Any of these four would love a #4days4life foster. All great dogs. All overlooked. Perhaps bc they’re one of many that have this coloring. Or maybe it’s because they can blend into their concrete surrounding🙁 Each of these dogs have had meets with other dogs and done well w the dogs we’ve paired them with. Staff and volunteers can do their best to help match their energy/temperament with what may suit your household. Going clockwise from left: Mamba (#A1804492) Ronnie Dobbs (#A1843282) Mystique (#A1200071) Pluto (#A1814473) Please consider hosting one of them for few days to open up kennel space at an already-full shelter. 📍North Central LA City shelter; 3201 Lacy St., Los Angeles, CA; ☎️213-485-5767.// #fostersneeded #foster #fosteringsaveslives #shelterdogs (at Friends of North Central Shelter - Los Angeles Animal Services) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVVYNFgvp6/?igshid=10meorxeqzbfd

His 1st time on a couch ;( Okay guys, we need to find Woody an ADOPTER or RESCUE. His foster mom @stessk said: Woody is an amazing boy. To watch our 12 year old foster, Woody, experience things for the first time has been heartbreaking and amazing at the same time. Pretty sure it was his first time on the stairs, probably first petco bath, and seemingly his first time on a couch (pictured here)... But probably not the first time he cried at night and it's killing me :( we need to find this baby a home! He is just too sweet and we can't let him be put down!
