On occasion I try to get out to my local shelter to take pictures in an effort to help network animals and get them adopted. The following pictures are of dogs that are at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center as of 12/13/2017.
I do not know anything about these animals, other than they are at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center. They have hundreds of adoptable animals available in all shapes and sizes, this is just a tiny fraction of the animals they have at the shelter. They have mixes, mutts, and purebreds, large and small, and of all ages. If you would like to know more, please contact the shelter at 626-962-3577 or go see them in person at 4275 Elton St, Baldwin Park, CA 91706. I have included the animals intake number and a short description under each picture. If you call the shelter, you will need that intake number. You can also search the Los Angeles County website with that number at: County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control
Please share this post on social media to help try and find these animals (and the many hundreds more in LA County shelters) homes for the holidays! And always remember, adopt, don't shop.

I was just about ready to leave when I heard a whimper. That's when I saw her, a very sad, lonely, scared little Shih Tzu. She had no name, and according to the shelter came in with maggot infested fur and is missing her left lower jaw. This time of year is a bad time of year for any animal in the shelter, but especially one that is older with medical needs. With 1 phone call, Leave No Paws Behind placed a hold on her, and we will be picking her up as soon as she becomes available on 12/15/17. She now has a name, she now has hope, and will soon know love, warmth, and comfort. We are calling her Nicole. We are looking for a foster for her. If you are in the Los Angeles area and are interested in fostering, please email info@leavenopawsbehind.com

This is the season of giving. If you can find it in your heart to give one of these animals a home for the holidays, or perhaps from your own local shelter, please do. If you can't adopt an animal, please consider donating so we can continue to help dogs like Nicole at this link:

As always, please remember that when you decide it is time to add a new furry member to your household, adopt, don't shop. Your local shelter and rescues are filled to the brim with very adoptable animals, and the perfect companion for you is waiting.
Happy Holidays!
