Meet Buster 🤍

This handsome husky has been sitting at Coachella Valley Animal Campus since January 2026, with volunteers doing everything they could to get him seen.

A rescue had been lined up to help him, but before that plan could move forward, someone saw his reel and went straight to the shelter to adopt him.

We had explained that Buster’s separation anxiety was next level. He howled, panicked, and clearly needed a family who truly understood dogs, decompression, structure, and patience.

Unfortunately, after just one overnight stay, Buster was returned back to the shelter.

Because our staff/volunteer stayed in close contact with the adopter, we found out what happened and immediately had to jump back into action. We had already committed to helping him before, and once he was back at risk, we knew we had to move fast to make sure he would be safe.

Buster is now getting a real plan. He will need training, decompression, structure, and people who understand that dogs like him are not “bad dogs.” They are scared, confused, overwhelmed dogs who need time, support, and the right humans behind them.

This is where we need our community.

Please help us raise funds for Buster’s training, transport, and care so we can give him the safe transition he should have had from the beginning.

To all the husky lovers, please come together for this boy. Share him with your friends, family, Nextdoor, husky groups, and anyone who understands this breed. Buster deserves to have his story seen, shared, and supported.

Thank you so much to everyone who continues to show up for these dogs when they need us the most.

Please write “Buster” in the memo 🤍

WHEN PLEDGES DO NOT GET HONORED! It hurts the dog!

$2.5k pledged.
$280 honored.
$6,500 needed.

Gobo is still waiting for the TPLO surgery he desperately needs.

This is not a cosmetic procedure. This is not something we can ignore. His leg is injured, he is limping, and every day without surgery means another day of pain.

We were hoping the pledges would help us get him there faster, but right now, we are still very far from covering his surgery.

Gobo doesn’t understand why help takes time.
He just knows it hurts.

Please help us get him to surgery. Donate, share, boost, or honor your pledge if you made one.

He needs relief now.

Yesterday’s puppy yoga was everything we hoped it would be and more 🐶🧘‍♀️✨

Over 50 people showed up to love on 15 Good Tails Rescue puppies, and honestly, it was the sweetest thing to watch.

These babies all came from different rescue situations. Two of the litters were rescued from Riverside shelter last week while the fires were raging, and our little cattle dog babies came from a flower field near Palmdale.

So to see them yesterday, safe, loved, playing, meeting new people, and getting showered with affection, was really something special.

The puppies got to interact with each other, meet humans of all ages, build confidence, and soak up all the love. Even people just walking by couldn’t help but stop and smile. It was instant serotonin, and you could literally see people’s faces light up.

But behind all the cuteness is a much bigger reason why events like this matter.

LA shelters are overflowing. Puppies, moms, seniors, medical dogs, scared dogs, perfectly adoptable dogs, they are all being dumped, surrendered, and left behind at heartbreaking numbers.

Events like this help us bring awareness to what is happening inside our shelters, while also showing people that you do not need to buy from a breeder to find an amazing puppy. So many are already here. Already waiting. Already deserving.

A special shoutout to for working with us and collaborating on such a beautiful event. We are so grateful for the support and for helping us bring this message to more people.

If anyone is interested in adopting or has questions about our babies, please reach out to us. We would love to tell you more about them.

Adopt. Foster. Share. Get involved.

They need us now more than ever. 🐾💯

P.S. Thank you for loving on Monkey. He is the smallest of the group and the other puppies were pushing him around. So to see him getting one on one attention was everything!💖🌸

Chief sat at North Central Animal Shelter, waiting for someone to see him.

And behind dogs like Chief are shelter volunteers and advocates working tirelessly to make that happen. Making reels. Posting videos. Sharing updates. Reaching out to rescues. Begging for fosters. Trying over and over again to get one dog noticed in a shelter full of dogs also waiting to be seen.

I have close friends who advocate for the dogs at North Central, and when they reached out about Chief asking if we could help, we knew we had to try.

It is honestly incredible how much effort it takes for just one dog to get a chance.

So many dogs go unnoticed because people don’t want to walk into the shelters. They don’t want to see the sadness. They don’t want to see the despair. They don’t want to look at what is happening right in front of us.

But lucky dogs like Chief had people who refused to let him disappear.

And now, because someone stepped up, Chief gets the chance to decompress, be loved, feel safe, and learn what his second life is supposed to feel like.

Thank you to everyone who advocated for him, shared him, and believed he was worth saving.

Chief is in a great home now, and this is exactly why we keep going. For the ones who finally get seen. For the ones who make it out. And for the ones still waiting.

Moose has spent a quarter of his short life growing up inside the shelter.
He’s only 6 months old, tiny, gentle, and already fighting for his life.

He’s been at the shelter just a month and a half, and instead of getting the chance every puppy deserves, he was placed on the euthanasia list not for behavior, not for aggression, but because he contracted ringworm inside the shelter.

💔 Why He’s at Risk

• Ringworm is treatable, but shelters often don’t have the space to isolate pups
• Moose has already started treatment
• He simply needs a safe, isolated foster so he can finish healing
• Volunteers tried to get updated footage to help him get seen, but the shelter refused access
• Only two photos of him exist, one from intake, one from a kind photographer helping Coachella Valley Animal Campus dogs

💛 Who Moose Is

• A sweet, soft, young pup who has never known a real home
• Overlooked because of limited photos and a treatable condition
• Still hopeful, still trying, still waiting

🛟 How He Can Be Saved

A rescue is ready to pull him :
IF a foster steps up and IF pledges come in for his medical care.

This is fully preventable.
This is a baby who just needs a quiet room, basic treatment, and a chance.

🚨 Moose’s life ends May 28 unless someone steps forward.

Please consider fostering, pledging, or sharing him.
Don’t let his young life end before it ever really begins.
Thank you and for sharing moose and helping him get seen. What would we do without our loving staff volunteers. They get them seen💖🌸

HONEY IS OFFICIALLY ADOPTED 🧡

The best part of rescue will always be this.

Honey’s story started at the shelter, where her future felt uncertain. As a young, beautiful dog, we knew we had to make sure she landed somewhere safe, protected, and loved. Not in the hands of anyone who would ever use her for the wrong reasons.

And today, we get to say she is officially adopted.

Honey has found the most amazing forever home, and we truly could not be happier for her. She is so loved already, and seeing her start this next chapter with a family who is so excited to call her theirs is exactly why we keep going.

To her adopters, thank you for choosing rescue. Thank you for seeing her, loving her, and giving her the life she deserves.

Good tail, sweet Honey. You are home. 🐾

Adopted looks so good on you my girl!🌸💖

Where do I even begin when we talk about Sherman…

What started as a routine transport turned into something none of us could’ve imagined.

Sherman was supposed to leave Downey and begin his journey toward a new life in Kentucky. Denny, who we work with as a transport partner, stepped in to help move him just one leg of a long road to freedom.

Everything was done. Paperwork completed. Sherman was moments away from walking out.

And then it all stopped.

Because of a clerical error, Sherman was turned around and not released.

Instead of letting this quietly disappear, Denny spoke up. Not for attention, but because Sherman mattered. What followed was something we couldn’t have predicted: the story went viral, reached far beyond rescue circles, and forced people to look at how fragile these dogs’ lives truly are.

Today, Denny went back.

And today, Sherman walked out.

Safe. Free. Alive.

This is what advocacy looks like. This is what happens when someone refuses to accept “sorry” as the end of the story. What made the news today isn’t just a headline it’s a life saved because someone didn’t give up.

Welcome to your new beginning, Sherman. 🤍🐾

Wesley “Wes” 🤍 where do we even start? This incredible boy needs a forever home ASAP. He deserves stability — not bouncing from place to place. His long‑term temp foster’s new schedule meant he had to leave, and now he’s being shifted around again. Please share and help us find the forever home he truly deserves 💖

Merry Christmas everypawdy!🎄🐾

Rescue is full of highs and lows and Paige definitely had more than her fair share of the hard stuff. She was bounced around foster to foster (I think she landed at 15 before everything finally changed), and for a long time she was just trying to survive… always on the move, always looking for a way out.

And then this happens✨
Christmas jammies. Safe arms. A home where she’s not escaping, not anxious, not searching, just existing, loved, and grounded.

Moments like this are what make all of it worth it. Seeing a dog who had such a rough start finally land somewhere permanent, somewhere patient, somewhere unconditional. Paige didn’t just find a house, she found her people. I love how it all started with Stevie’s reel that lead me to meeting Karen and her awesome family! She has made all the difference for both Paige and Ritz. Ya’ll pls send her extra love today!

Endless gratitude for the fosters and adopters who open their hearts and homes, who do the quiet, consistent work of helping dogs heal and finally feel like they belong. This is what rescue looks like. 🎄❤️
