Available Animals

MaeDay Rescue is a non-profit dog rescue based in Los Angeles. We save hundreds of dogs a year from the shelters and streets through our a foster based program. Sometimes we save cats too! We save dogs of all breeds and all ages.

We get to know each dog while in their foster home, and a lot of work goes into finding them their perfect forever home! We offer meet & greets and a one week trial before adopting except for our young puppies as we'd like to keep the bouncing around to a minimum. If you see a pup you'd like to meet, please fill out an adoption application and be sure to include their name :)

Calla

Meet Calla! This 3-month old kitty is social, sweet and was shy when we first got her. She has come out of her shell now and loves fetch. She also loves a good cuddle. Calla is now spayed and vaccinated and ready to find a home! Follow along on Instagram to learn more about her. #maedayCalla

Robin & Viggo

Meet Robin & Viggo. Robin is a 10yo cat that was surrendered to us by his owner who got sick. A few months later, Robin was adopted however, after a month we received a call from the shelter telling us that he is being surrendered to the shelter with his friend Viggo. We immediately jumped into action because we couldn't let Robin (and his friend) stay in the shelter. Robin and Viggo are very sweet and social cats. Robin is 10yo. Viggo is 2yo. Both are fixed and vaccinated. Follow along on Instagram to learn more about them. #maedayRobinCat #maedayViggo

Appa

Meet Appa! He was found on a busy street dodging cars & covered in grease & oil by a Maeday adopter. We scanned for a chip (of course nothing was found) They posted flyers, alerted the shelter and posted on all sites. Now that it has been over the legal hold period, we are happy to make Appa a Maeday dog!

He is very sweet, gets along with other dogs and is learning how to be an inside dog- we get the feeling he lived outside most of his life. He is around 18lbs, 1-2 years old and is getting fixed this coming week! Follow along on Instagram to learn more about him. #maedayAppa
