This is Iris. She is a two year old ten pound interesting mix. She does look a lot like a doxie sort of. Very low to the ground and long. But that tail! It's about half the size of a typical dog. Either she was born that way or someone for some reason docked that tail to a very unusual length. Available via the AMRT small dog adoption program. |

Six guinea pigs!!! We
didn't realize that the SPCA-LA doesn't take any other critters besides
dogs and cats. So if you want to adopt one, don't go there.
And if you are getting rid of some, please think this out carefully and
try to find a rescue group instead, as the SPCA won't take them, leaving
the City very few options. This group of piggies were very lucky to
have found a rescue group willing to take them. |
| Photo coming | Purebred chow puppy.
Her fatal flaw is that her eyelashes turn in - and this needs to be
corrected. Shelter fees: $95 - Eye surgery estimated $450 |
 Shelter fees $95 Vet expenses $675 so far - and she needs the stainless steel rod in her leg removed in about 8 weeks, which will generate an additional expense. |
This is Nutmeg - a two year
old scruffy terrier who has a broken leg. She is currently at our
vets and a treatment plan is being worked out.
She is sweet and friendly and otherwise very healthy. |
 Shelter fees: $95, vet expenses $421.65 |
Update - Very good news. Mitzi
did NOT have a prolapsed rectum!! Our vet couldn't believe
that anyone could think so. She had a fatty tumor that was
scooped out and discarded during her spay. This misdiagnosis
could have been very fatal as some of my friends discouraged me from
taking her - saying she would be too expensive. And she
is very very sweet and cute and friendly.
Available via the AMRT small dog adoption
program. This is Mitzi, a 7 year old white terrier mix. She looks somewhat like a Westie but about half the size, probably about 9 pounds. There is nothing wrong with her eyes - this is just the flash from the camera. Her fatal flaw is that she has a prolapsed rectum. She needs some surgery to correct it.

This is Maurice - a teacup
poodle weighing about four pounds and probably about ten years old. He was in horrid condition. Fur not only matted but glued to his body and hard as a rock like cement. I had to chip it off very carefully with a pair of scissors. He has a laceration on one eye and only has one testicle. Reason for denial to SPCA - all of the above. Horrid condition requiring medical care and only one testicle causing a more expensive neuter. |
 |
This is Jenni, a 7 year old Chihuahua mix weighing about six pounds.
She loves to be held and carried around. She appears to be ok with
other small dogs. She can be a bit fiesty with certain people so no
kids please..... once she knows you she is a friend for life though.
At the shelter she was quite unfriendly. Sadly this is not unusual for tiny little dogs in big scarey shelters. Now she is sweet and affectionate. Shelter fees: 45 - dental work $150. Available via the AMRT small dog adoption program.

Candy is a five year old 35 pound
spaniely type dog. Her family gave her up because they were going on
vacation. I wonder if they do this every year. She is reported to be good with children and other dogs. She seems to be an ideal family pet.

Anyway, she has been transferred to the Orange County Humane Society - 21632 Newland, Huntington Beach. 714-536-8480.

This is Rudolf
- a pure mini poodle who was hit by a car and picked up Christmas
eve by Long Beach animal control officers. He hung
around the vet's office and then moved to the shelter where his
family found him. However, they declined to take him back and
signed him over to the shelter. We were asked to take him and
gladly did so. It turns out that nothing is broken!! Nothing dislocated! He's scraped up a bit and he was really dirty and skinny possibly from being on his own for a while. And also looked like he had been recently groomed and manicured. A really nice cuddly kissy dog who deserves a good home. He was neutered while being x-rayed so he should be ready for a home in a couple of weeks perhaps. Adopted |

Scruffy terrier - photo coming. Shelter fees $95. - |
This cute
little scruffy terrier was not chosen by the SPCA-LA and we
moved him down to the Orange County Humane Society in Huntington
Beach. For more info on adopting him call 714-536-8480. They are located at 21632 Newland. interesting news - his owner turned up for him two days after we moved him to Orange County Humane Society - so it looks like this dog and his owner were reunited. Had we not been there, this family would have returned from Christmas vacation to find their dog had died at the shelter. More interesting news, the family that lost him didn't want to pay to get him back. About a four years old and so cute. Reason SPCA-LA didn't want him - flea allergies. Update - Adopted.

mini poodle, male, only needs some dental work. He's maybe
about six to eight years old. A real sweet little guy.
Dirty and needs a bath. For information on his adoption please
email me directly, carol@amrt.net
Update adopted- Arlo is living in a senior assisted living facility in Irvine. He goes from lap to lap all day and he spends each night in a different bedroom. This is the perfect arrangement for a dog like this. It is a shame that our seniors must give up their pets when they move into these types of homes. And this is a good solution for the residents and the senior dogs. |
 Yorkie/Silky mix - injured - moved to San Diego - Shelter Fee: $95. |
This dog was immediately adopted in San Diego. Required no additional medical expenses except neuter. |
 Shelter fee: $95 - Expected vet bill $55 |
This is Everest, a two year old
Chihuahua/terrier mix, weighing
about eight pounds. He got his name due to his special skill
at climbing up difficult places, like a 12 foot chain link dog
kennel.
To me he looks a lot more like a fox terrier or rat terrier than a Chihuahua which would be consistent with his special climbing abilities. He will probably do best in a home without a yard so that his family will not be tempted to leave him in one unattended. He would do best inside the house most of the time, with leash walks for potty time. Reason for denial to SPCA - Kennel cough Update - Adopted. |
 |
JoJo - a two year old black & white male cocky poo. His fatal flaw was that he was born with one testicle that did not drop. So the neuter is more expensive. Thus the SPCA decided to not choose him. Shelter Fees: $95 Neuter: 98.50 Update - Adopted.
|
 |
Update - Adopted and now living in Long
Beach. This is Amber, a six year old Pekinese. She is a nice, quiet, gentle dog. Her fatal flaw is that her head tilts and she has a heart murmur. So the SPCA didn't want her. Very sweet dog Shelter fees: $95 - Spay - $55 |
 |
This is Monty.
He is a two year old scruffy terrier mix weighing about 14 pounds.
Cute, quiet, friendly, potty trained. A perfect dog. He was turned down by the SPCA-LA because he had evidently been hit by a car and at the emergency room they sutured a cut. He is fine. He needed no additional care. His neuter appointment is scheduled for Dec. 5. Expenses: Long Beach Shelter Fees: $67 Neuter - VCA La Mirada - estimated $50
Update - Adopted and living in Cowan Heights |
 Expenses: Long Beach Shelter $10. VCA La Mirada - x-rays and preliminary diagnosis $400 Tustin Veterinary Surgical Center - $2,600. |
This is Moxie - a ten month old puppy who has had a lot of bad
luck. Now she needs some good luck. We originally called
her Mopsie but a clerical error at the hospital changed her
name and we liked it better so we kept it. First she got hit by a car and wound up at the Long Beach Shelter. There the great SPCA-LA decided not to take her so she was condemned to die. Only now the City staff call us when a dog is out of luck and we do what we can. Only thing is that she had a fractured pelvis that was protruding into her intestines and she needed surgery NOW to survive. And every single orthopedic veterinarian in the entire country was flying to Washington, DC for some sort of conference, except ONE. And luckily for us he was able to fix her. But it cost us about twice what it would have if we could have used our own vets. Oh yes, then her foster home was in Mount Baldy and she had to be evacuated ahead of the fires. She has been adopted and is now living in Costa Mesa..

 Expenses: Long Beach Shelter $95 Costs to cure kennel cough - ZERO Neuter expense - $45 |
This is Grizzly, a two
year old male pom. He is a nice friendly little dog, about ten
pounds. Picked up by Long Beach Animal Control, Grizzly was another dog the SPCA-LA would not take. We don't know why. Did he have a crooked ear? An eye the wrong color? Did he fart? Burp? He's young and pretty and healthy and the SPCA-LA condemned him to die. Lucky for him the Long Beach City folks are now asking rescue groups to take the dogs the SPCA-LA will not. He has been adopted and is living in El Monte. |
 Expenses: Long Beach Shelter - $95 Vet - neuter and x-rays - $145. |
This is Rambo. It seems
that he wasn't fed and was confined somehow so that his hind legs would not
hold his weight. He was only six weeks old. The SPCA wouldn't
take him so we did.
Our vet says he will be just fine with some food and exercise. X-rays showed no congenital or skeletal problems. This is a sweet, kissy, friendly, lovable puppy that deserved better than he got from the SPCA-LA. He has been adopted and is now living in Lake Forest. |
