Happy weekend adoptions🖤

Mr. Peter Quill from our Guardians of the Galaxy litter officially went home with his new family this morning, and yesterday sweet tuxedo kitty Felix found his forever home too!

We are so excited for these two and so grateful to everyone who helps make these happy endings possible. Congratulations to their wonderful families! 🐾

Back in February, we were contacted by one of our fellow animal lover after she found a dog roaming loose. Thankfully, she was able to keep him safe. He had a collar with a phone number attached, but unfortunately no one was answering.

Once he was posted publicly, several people began attempting to claim him as theirs. As we continued looking into the situation, we learned that his owner had recently passed away. Sweet boy had been left at the home temporarily while a family member arranged transportation to retrieve him. During that time, someone removed him from the property without permission, and he later escaped from them.

When those individuals discovered we had him, they demanded we turn him over. However, they were unable to provide definitive proof of ownership. We will never simply hand over someone’s beloved pet without proper proof.

The situation quickly escalated, and law enforcement became involved. While authorities initially suggested handing him over, they also acknowledged that we needed to follow our own policies and procedures. So that’s exactly what we did — we continued investigating.

We contacted the coroner’s office and were eventually connected with next of kin. To our surprise, she immediately told us she absolutely did not want this dog going to the people attempting to claim him. In fact, she did not even know them. Her biggest concern mirrored ours: that he was going to be used for breeding. As you can tell, he is a stunning dog, and unfortunately that can attract the wrong intentions.

She was incredibly grateful that we took the time to do our due diligence instead of simply handing him over. Although she was unable to take in her father’s dog herself, she asked us to officially intake him into LAFP, fully vet him, and find him the right home.

We later discovered he is a purebred, papered Golden Retriever, and almost immediately we had the perfect foster-to-adopt home step forward. They absolutely adore him, and he is now living the life he deserves…safe, loved, and cherished as part of their family.

Stories like this are exactly why our policies matter. Even when situations become difficult or emotional, we will always advocate for what is best for the animals in our care. This boy’s story could have ended very differently, but because everyone involved chose to slow down and do the right thing, he now has the future he deserved all along.

Back in November, we assisted GCAO with a severe hoarding case involving many, many animals. From that case, we were able to take in two tiny neonate puppies who needed around-the-clock care.

Our incredible foster poured so much love, time, and dedication into raising those babies, and somewhere along the way, one of them completely stole their heart. 💙

Sweet Koda became a very unexpected foster fail, but we truly could not be happier about it. He is going to have the absolute best home and the most loving family imaginable. Watching these babies go from such heartbreaking beginnings to safe, adored, forever homes is what rescue is all about. Thank you David and Melinda for your amazing efforts and continued support.
