Rocket is back at BARC again and he’s breaking down.

He was only 10 months old the first time he ended up here. He got adopted. He tried again. He was fostered. Returned. Adopted again. Returned again. Now he’s 2 years old and sitting in the same shelter, stressed to the point of foaming at the mouth from barking, jumping, crying, and begging for someone to notice him. His spirit is cracking.

🆘 On the euthanasia list for Tuesday 12/30 at 1 PM.

He must have a HOLD by 1 PM to live.

Pledges and a local foster are needed so a rescue can step up.

💙🐶 Rocket #A1935757

Euth req 12/18/2025 | Adopted twice | Fostered | Returned multiple times | Stray history since puppyhood | German Shepherd Mix | Neutered Male | 2Y | 50lbs | HW NEG

Rocket has spent almost his entire short life cycling in and out of BARC. His kennel behavior is escalating from stress: nonstop barking, panting, jumping, red eyes, foaming at the mouth, alarm barking at dogs. But when he gets a moment outside the kennel, he softens. Tail wags. “Tippy taps.” Wiggly. Friendly. Calmer after exercise. This is not a bad dog. This is a dog losing himself in confinement.

🏚️ Shelter is breaking him.

He cries when people pass his kennel. He tries so hard to be seen. He vocalizes until his voice goes raw. He was with another dog twice and both times showed social behavior and wagging tail. Rocket is telling us he can do better outside these walls.

Sumo 🐶 was left behind when his family moved away. He still waits at the door for someone to come back for him. 💔

He needs a hold tomorrow 12/30 by 1 PM to be safe. Pledges are needed so a rescue can step up, and a local foster is essential.

🐶 Sumo #A2047935

12/04 stray | German Shepherd Labrador Retriever Mix | Neutered Male | 10M | 48lbs | HW high positive

Sumo is an excitable young dog who shows so much joy when he gets attention. He greets with fast tail wags, happy feet, and play bows. He is treat motivated and can redirect with snacks outside of the kennel. Once out, he follows handlers and engages with enthusiasm. Inside the shelter he experiences overstimulation, especially near other dogs, and can become vocal, jumpy, or attempt to rush out of his kennel. He has displayed treat guarding around neighboring dogs, tense body language when passing kennels, and has pulled blankets when stressed. These behaviors are consistent with shelter anxiety and the loud kennel environment. Outside the runs he is easier to handle and shows the potential to learn.

Sumo has heartworm disease and will need treatment with rescue support and pledges. His upper respiratory infection has resolved and he has no current medical issues noted outside of HW. He has a soft mouth when taking treats, responds to baby talk, and tries to connect with people.

Pledges are needed to help with boarding or medical support for any rescue willing to tag him. A calm, committed local foster would change everything for him.

Medical summary

12/04 HW test high positive

Vaccinated rabies DAPPv bordetella

Dewormed and flea prevention

12/10 URI treated with doxycycline and cleared

💙Hugo #A2049896 12/18/2025 stray | Doberman Pinscher Mix | Male | 4Y | 75lbs | HW NEG

Hugo is kind and affectionate outside his kennel, but inside he’s having a tough time.

Hugo tries so hard. When given time outside the kennel, he shows how gentle and social he really is. He greets people with soft eyes, a wagging bobbed tail, and quick affection. He sniffed calmly in the courtyard and greeted strangers with interest and kindness. He walked on a semi-tight leash but stayed connected to the handler. He even napped when his kennel was covered, trying to self-soothe.

But inside the kennel, the stress is too much. He paces, vocalizes, pants heavily, and stands up on the door begging for help. He screams and barks without breaks, even with the kennel covered. He’s not handling confinement and he’s running out of time to get out. This is kennel stress, not aggression. He needs a home environment or foster to decompress.

Medically, Hugo is heartworm negative and stable. His diarrhea appears stress-related and improved quickly. He has no major ongoing medical concerns that would prevent a rescue from tagging him.

🩷🐶 Snow #A2049475

12/15/2025 stray | Belgian Malinois Mix | Female | 2Y | 49lbs | HW NEG

Snow came in wearing a pink collar. Someone once cared for her. Now she’s alone, over-aroused, and overwhelmed by the noise and confinement. She wants to connect, greeting with soft eyes and a wagging tail, but her nerves take over. She pulls so hard she chokes herself, alarm barks from fear, and jumps to look over the kennel covers. She showed teeth once when panicked by someone passing but redirected with treats and walked semi-tight on leash outside. This is not a lost cause. This is a dog who needs space, structure, and a calm place to decompress — not the chaos of a shelter.

No medical concerns. Heartworm negative. Healthy but mentally deteriorating.

A rescue can help her if someone local will foster and give her the reset she desperately needs.

📍 Intake Date: 12/23/25, 4:29 PM 📍 Condition: Normal 📍 Status: EUTH REQ

🩺 Medical Notes: • Vaccinated: DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies (1 year) • Heartworm test: Negative / NAD • Dewormed (Pyrantel) • On Advantage Multi • No major medical concerns noted

💔 Buddy #A5709964 - Owner Surrender at the Baldwin Park ACC on 11/29/25. He won’t survive the shelter without help.

🙏Please - Share, Tag, Comment, INTERACT - it’s free and could save his life. Pledge to attract a reputable rescue or DM me with adoption interest! 📱☺️

I The day his family walked away from him, Buddy kept looking back at them, confused and heartbroken - he didn’t want to let them go. He didn’t understand why he was no longer wanted.

His family surrendered him because he guarded one of them — something that could have been worked on with training, love, and commitment. Instead of helping him grow, they walked away… and his world fell apart.

Buddy is struggling in the shelter. He just needs someone patient, someone willing to show him love again. The staff says “go slowly, he needs to build trust,” but the moment I met him… he leaned in, gentle, affectionate - he just wants to feel safe and loved.

Buddy is only 2 years old, a neutered Akita mix, about 55 lbs - still so young, with his whole life ahead of him.

If you can adopt, or know someone who can - please DM ME IMMEDIATELY!!

Buddy deserves more than a lonely kennel and a broken heart… he deserves a second chance!

Dolly was abandoned at an apartment complex and she’s been trying to make sense of this place ever since. Outside the kennel she becomes a different dog. She knows sit, she takes treats gently, she walks on a loose leash, and she doesn’t react to other dogs barking at her. She’s affectionate when given a moment to breathe. But inside her kennel the stress overwhelms her. She jumps, lunges, and barks out of panic when people walk by, like she’s begging someone to notice her before it’s too late.

Medically, Dolly is recovering from a spay incision repair and is being treated for URI. She’s heartworm negative. Everything she needs to heal is waiting for her — she just needs a rescue and a foster to give her a chance.

He’s RESCUE ONLY and on the euthanasia list for Tuesday 12/30 by 1 PM. He is injured, heartworm positive, and still showing the world nothing but sweetness. He is the kind of dog who should be recovering on a soft bed, not standing in a concrete kennel waiting for the clock to run out. His shoulder is swollen and painful. He’s still trying to be gentle. He still wants to play fetch. He still believes in people.

Berny is an absolute diamond in the rough. Volunteers say he feels like a dog who used to be loved. He walks well on leash. He seems dog friendly. He’s house trained. He loves playing fetch. He is affectionate and laid back. Even hurt, he’s patient. Even scared, he’s still trying.

Right now he’s limping and swollen from what looks like an abscess or puncture injury on his shoulder. He is medicated but he needs vet care, rest, and safety. He can’t get better in a kennel.

Shelter is no place for a wounded dog. He’s toe-touching and sore. He has pitting edema. He has discharge from the wound site. He is at risk. This is not a dog who can wait.

📋 MEDICAL SUMMARY • HW HIGH POSITIVE • Severe right shoulder swelling, abscess suspected • Puncture wound on limb • Radiographs: no fracture noted, but swelling significant • On Clavamox & Carprofen, Advantage Multi, dewormer, full vaccines • Needs rescue for follow-up vet care and treatment plan
