The Amazing Transformation * FOXTROT *

Looking at the before and after photos, would you believe this is the same Shepherd who came to us only a few months ago, tick infested, malnourished and petrified?  Believe it or not...it is the same boy, and we had named him Foxtrot.

First featured in our March 29, 2014 blog (Read Original Blog), Foxtrot came to us in such a horrific state, that for us, it was possibly one of the worst cases we had encountered in a very long time. Every inch of his body was being eaten alive by parasites (Graphic photos can be seen on our Facebook Page.) The fact that this innocent creature even managed to survive his unbelievable ordeal, was simply a miracle.

Over the last few months in our care, and with much TLC, medical attention and good nutrition, Foxtrot has made an amazing transformation and has blossomed into a happy and healthy Shepherd...and a super handsome one at that, who always seems to turn heads while in public...and always seems to be the topic of conversation.  He is simply "Captivating!"

Foxtrot continuously shows his gratitude, and has learned to enjoy life’s little pleasures such as treats, toys and daily walks. In fact, he is quite rhythmic when he walks. He trots much like a stallion. Go Foxtrot!!!


We are all so happy for Foxtrot, but we would be even happier if he finds his forever home with an amazing, experienced and a compassionate guardian, one who can love him unconditionally and appreciate him for who he is. If you are that amazing guardian Foxtrot is waiting for, please call our office at (818) 340-1186/1687 to arrange for a meeting.

New Pet Connections Happen if Meant to Be

ADOPTED! Sammy (R) and Kiko (L) going to their forever home.
Upon first meeting, Jax didn’t go to a man calling his name. A walk together turned the tide; not much later, the guy held the cute Westie close to pose for a photo with his new family member. Fate also intervened for Monte, a senior Yorkie who stood out by standing still and quiet during a kennel tour. Turns out, both his age and demeanor were exactly what an elderly lady desired. In a recent email update, she calls him “the best man I’ve had in my life.”

The personalities of dogs named Sammy and Cooper were likewise key factors to getting adopted. Potential owners noticed Sammy wasn’t really into toys, but also noticed and really liked his mellow behavior. As for Cooper, after getting frequent interest for his size and energy, the youngster was soon chosen by someone who loves his “joie de vivre” (joy of life/cheerful spirit).

Numerous cats at this rescue experience similar karma, whether it’s timing, luck or something else special.

New to the cats’ playroom, Gucci preferred to stay in corners. But days ago, the pretty young tabby approached, purred and charmed her way into a visitor’s heart. Weeks ago, Little Foot shared a space with three other babies. Defying the belief that black cats take longer to place, he was chosen over his adorable orange and gray roommates. Color can be a factor in terms of what people want; a month ago, a couple came in looking for a black-and-white kitty. Tess stood out from a group of look-alikes by quickly jumping onto the woman’s lap. After three years here, she’s another success story.

Kiko’s match happened much quicker. The formerly shy kitten jumped onto a door screen with a loud meow to be seen by passers-by, who decided to adopt her the next day. Read about many available felines needing homes by visiting our Cattery page!
