Join us 9 AM Saturday before it gets too hot! This beautiful no-intro walk goes past the lagoon and the marina! Some call it a pup parade! Meet on the corner of Orlena & Vermont. Please sign the release in our bio if you haven’t signed one yet.

Our walks respect you and your dog’s need for space, help dogs learn to be calm around others and create an opportunity for us to meet and support each other. Walks among others can satisfy our dog’s need to belong and often lead to a long nap afterwards. And if you need help with any behavior challenges, we can offer suggestions to help you overcome or manage them. Please reach out!

Some of our dogs are scared. Some are shy. Some are reactive. Some are friendly, but learning how to be calm around others. We maintain these rules on our walks: a minimum of ten feet from others (unless dogs are together), one dog per handler, a six-foot or shorter leash (no retractables, please) and NO dog intros. It is everyone’s responsibility to keep their dogs safe and safely under control. If you can follow our rules, you are welcome to join us. Please feel free to use a muzzle if your dog would benefit from it. If you’re not sure if your dog would do well at a pack walk, please message us for more information.

This beautiful boy has been failed over and over. Please share him for a foster or adoptive home. Save Chico ❤️ 💔 CHICO NEEDS HELP. 💔
On 4/3/26, Chico was surrendered by his owner due to a move. Through no fault of his own, he lost the home and family he knew. 😔He then found himself at the high-kill Downey Animal Care Center in Downey, CA, where he landed on a 72-hour notice. When Chico was rescued in April, many volunteers and supporters celebrated, believing his best days were finally ahead of him.
🆘Instead, Chico was placed directly into boarding. ⌛️Nearly 5 months later, he is still there, spending most of his day confined to a small crate for 18+ hours a day. 💔
The photo says more than words ever could. Swipe to Slide 2 to see his reality. 💔
This is especially heartbreaking because Chico was a favorite among many Downey volunteers. ❤️ He absolutely loves people and would happily climb right into your lap for cuddles. ❤️
⚡️He survived being surrendered.
⚡️He survived a high-kill shelter.
⚡️He survived a 72-hour notice.
💔Yet he still hasn’t gotten his chance.
🌟A recent trainer described Chico as a smart, loving dog with tremendous potential who responded beautifully to guidance and structure.
🔚With Ritz Rescue Rangers • Dog Rescue publicly announcing their closure, Chico urgently needs our community’s help.
🚨 COMMITTED FOSTER NEEDED
🚨 REPUTABLE RESCUE TRANSFER NEEDED
🚨 PLEASE SHARE & NETWORK
📣A committed foster could be the key to helping Chico secure rescue backing, leave boarding behind, and finally start living the life he deserves.
❤️ Please don’t let Chico be forgotten.
❤️ Chico’s foster, rescue, or forever person may be just one share away.
🐾 Let’s show Chico that is fighting for him.
Chico Valentino
