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 :)

Smudge 

Smudge!!! This kissable face is Smudge, he is a 1-2 year old 60lb boy that was going to be euthanized after only a week for being scared at the shelter. He is great with other dogs and thinks he is a cat- he just wants to be on your lap or sleep next to your head on your pillow! He knows commands, is potty trained and is going to make someone very happy! #maedaysmudge

Didi 

Meet Didi! This 5 year old cutie was literally left in a box in DTLA covered in matts, fleas and filthy. Thanks to her rescuer they cleaned her up & kept her safe till we found a foster. She is now loving her foster home and we’ve learned that she loves other dogs, loves playing and is great with all humans. She is healthy, spayed & ready to find her forever home! #maedaydidi

Cornelia 

Introducing Cornelia! A 4.5 lb tiny chihuahua who is 11 years old found herself at the shelter after her mom couldn’t afford her upkeep. She had terrible dental disease and bad locating patellas, which she should’ve had fixed years ago. We are getting her a dental and hoping to fix her bad legs. She is loving, runs up to strangers for pets, is potty trained and great with other dogs. Did we mention she is 4.5 lbs?!  #maedaycornelia

Angela 

Meet Angela! This gentle senior girl is part of the family we saved after their mom passed away. We were told she was given to the woman who recently passed away from her friend years ago after she died. So sweet Angela has lost two humans in her life and that also means we don’t exactly know how old she is. They said at least 10, but we think she is closer to about 13. She likes naps, strolls, likes other dogs and cats. She likes every person she meets and has an endearing tail wag. #maedayangela

Croquette 

Meet Croquette! Yes she is a smiling dog, but she is also a fried potato ball full of love and zest for life! 

She is one of the four animals we recently saved after their mother died of old age and sweet Croquette was laying with her for a couple of days 😭 She is around 10 years old, is the sweetest girl, loves all people and all animals (including cats) and she is an easy house guest. #maedaycroquette

Abby

Meet new dog Maeday Abby!! This 35 lb girl was at the West LA shelter because her owner died … and was being fostered through their foster program. The original foster raved about her, but they could only foster her for a short amount of time. So to prevent her from going back into the shelter, we stepped in and she’s so happy we did! 

She is healing from a skin issue, which just requires a few medicated baths and she does need medication for a thyroid issue. Abby is doing great with both. She is potty trained, has zero separation anxiety, is great on leash, easygoing, and a dream as a houseguest! 

She is around 10 years old and if you are looking for a medium sized pup, this is your girl!#maedayabby 

Raffi

Meet Raffi! This adorable 1 year old Lab/Shepherd mix was on the euthanasia list and about to be put down this weekend — he wouldn’t be here today if our friend/board member didn’t see him and jump into action. Now this active, smart and goofy boy is alive and has his whole life in front of him! 

He is great with kids, very sweet & friendly. He could use some basic leash training because he is still an excited puppy, but sleeps in his bed all night and loves every dog he has met! Put in your applications to meet and fall in love with this perfect boy! #maedayraffi

Tobie

Meet Tobie! 

When the volunteers at Harbor shelter in San Pedro sent us this picture and said “this 11 year old boy is an owner surrender after his owner was diagnosed with Alzheimers, can you take him?” We answered with a giant YES! 

His name is Tobie and he is relaxed, easy on leash, was great for his bath and is great with other dogs. He has a chronic dry eye which will require eye drops, but this little senior is move in ready!  #maedaytobie 

Rudolph

Meet Rudolph (aka Rudy)! He’s a 5 year old miniature pinscher. Rudy weighs 16 pounds, is great with other dogs and is a very loyal pup! He loves to cuddle up with his person, is a great listener, whip smart and eager to please. Rudy was found on the streets and was surrendered to the shelter prior to finding his way to Maeday. He is very grateful to have a safe and cozy place to land while he awaits his forever home. #maedayrudolph
