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 :)
Crouton
Meet Crouton — Isn’t he delicious?! We love this little puppy who is maybe part Pom, part Poodle …and part Bear cub? This guy is super small (only 3 lbs right now!), super young (only 3 months old) and would truly benefit from having another dog around to show him the ropes — he’s learning more & more every day on how to be a dog …and he could use a little guidance adjusting to the good good life in his forever home.
Crouton LOVES being outside, exploring the yard, and laying in the grass. He’s learning his potty training, is still a bit crazy on leash, and is equal parts funny/active ….and also chill/snuggly. Crouton is a sweet soul and also has a hilarious personality with no fear. Apply for him today! #maedaycrouton
Darwin
Meet DARWIN!!! Darwin is about 10 years old, 46 lbs, & a hound/terrier mix. Darwin has been with the same family since he was a puppy …but now has the not-uncommon story of needing to be rehomed because of the new children in the house. He isn’t a fan of the kids and has mostly kept to himself …but he did have one unfortunate incident where he nipped at one of them. It wasn’t serious, but his family wants to be super cautious and has decided that he should have a new home where he can live out his golden years in peace.
Darwin has been mostly kept in the guest house since the incident and we’d love him to find a home where he can be king of the castle once again - That’s what he deserves! Darwin is sweet, energetic, friendly with all adults/teens, potty trained, and gets along with most dogs. He is great on leash, has no health issues, is up to date on vaccinations, and just had an anesthetic dental cleaning where everything looked great! He’s a healthy senior guy looking for his new family. #maedaydarwin
Spiffy
Spiffy is a 1-2 year old cutie who has a big personality. He has gotten in his crate, has no separation anxiety, likes other dogs and is getting used to cats. He is 10lbs and is a healthy guy. #maedayspiffy
Corina
Meet Corina aka Coco! This 2 year old maltipoo mix is a sweetheart. She can be nervous at first when meeting strangers, but is full of sweetness. She’d love someone who is around a lot as she bonds hard to her person. She likes other dogs and is a big cuddle bug. We are still getting to know her, so follow her hashtag on social media! #maedaycorina
Saxon & Lochlan
Saxon & Lochlan are brothers who were born around March 1st. They are typical kittens who are curious, brave, goofy and cuddly. They are both litter trained and are good with other cats and dogs! They could be adopted together or separately. Their future home must be an indoor only cat home. #maedaylochlan

PJ
This is PJ - he came to us from the shelter — the volunteers at the shelter reached out to us because they adored him and wanted him to see a better life. This is what they told us about his story: “PJ was brought in as a stray, but he has a microchip linked to someone who hasn’t responded. According to the person who found him, he had been living in a shopping cart on the streets his whole life, usually tied up while his owner was nodding off 💔. The person who brought him in was trying to save him.”
PJ is approximately 1 year old, 11 lbs, & super sweet! We are happy we were able to jump in & save him thanks to his fosters! He is adjusting well and loves being in a cozy house — he is making himself right at home with lots of cuddles & playtime! He’s friendly with dogs & humans and does great on walks!! #maedaypj
Keanu
Meet Keanu! This 6ish (maybe younger) guy is an 8lb Maltese. His owner sadly was diagnosed with dementia and was forgetting to feed him - he wasn’t giving Keanu the best care & so he quickly found himself at the shelter. Thankfully the shelter reached out to us and we were able to save him thanks to his foster mom. He’s already eating great and putting on weight again!
As you can see he has cataracts, but he can still see some …and that doesn’t stop him from living life & getting around fine. He is happy, potty trained, cuddly and good with everyone - people & dogs alike! #maedaykeanu
Tia
Meet Tia! Yes, as in Aunt — This 1 year old perfect girl came to MaeDay with the litter of puppies we took in. They were all abandoned at a house near Bakersfield when the person moved. At first everyone assumed Tia was their mom, but once she was spayed, there were no signs that she had recently given birth. She is very good with the puppies and gave us Aunt vibes, so hence the name Tia!
She is such a love, great on leash, potty trained, cuddly and loves everyone. She is becoming a social butterfly and loves saying HI to everyone always (dogs & humans) - what a friendly gal! #maedaytia
James
Meet JAMES!!! This sweet 2-3 year old guy found himself lost & running into traffic …he crossed paths with some recent adopters of ours who jumped in to help him. They took him in & were able to reunite him with his owners a couple days later. THEN, after a few weeks, the owners reached back out saying they could no longer care for him and asked if they could help. They didn’t hesitate, came to his aid, and then reached out to us. He’s now a Maeday dog & he has a bright future ahead!✨
James is 13 lbs …and was just neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped at our vet, so he’s a healthy guy that is ready to find his forever home! He’s a super friendly guy (with humans & dogs), potty trained, loves to snuggle, loves to play, and is an all-around sweetie! #maedayjames
Goggins
This beautiful blue-eyed boy is GOGGINS (named after Walton Goggins, of course) — we saved him from the shelter & he’s now doing great! He was turned into the shelter because he was vomiting - the poor guy was clearly sick so we got him out of there and right to our vet. The good news is that his tests, bloodwork & X-rays all look good. He will make a full recovery and we are happy that he can recover in his loving & cozy foster home.
Goggins is a 4 month-old puppy, 10 lbs, and a total sweetheart. He’s a very calm/not hyper puppy ….but we are sure that his personality will start coming out now that he’s feeling better😜. We love him already and can’t wait to get to know him more. #maedaygoggins
Pepino
Welcome to Maeday, Pepino! We saved this guy from the shelter & love him already! Pepino is about 5-6 years old, a teeny tiny 6 lbs, and has legs that make him look like he’s constantly doing ballet🩰🤸🏻. We think he might be a Pomsky.
He’s a total sweetheart, is still decompressing, and is a bit skittish/scared about life ….but he’s already coming out of his shell and giving his foster mom lots of cuddles as he settles in! We can’t wait to get to know him more - help us welcome him to the Maeday pack!🐾 #maedaypepino
Keera
Meet Keera! This gal was found on the street a few weeks ago by former adopters of ours — they called & texted Keera’s owner several times, left messages, and then let us know that it seems like no one is looking for her and she was purposely dumped. Weeks later, Keera is better off without them - she was covered in fleas and so dirty when she was found, so who knows how long she was on her own. But the good life starts now, sweet girl!
Keera is 6 years old, 25 lbs, and half French Bulldog/half Boston Terrier. She is sweet as can be, good with other dogs, potty trained, and pretty perfect! One man’s garbage is another’s treasure because she’s a real winner in our book. She was just spayed and is recovering nicely. We can’t wait to learn more about her & find her a loving forever home that will never let her go! #maedaykeera
Hector
We would like to introduce you to Hector!
This 10 to 15-year-old boy came is only 7 lbs and came to us from the shelter after he found himself there with a skin allergy, alopecia, and bad ear infection. His tongue hangs out in the perfect way and we are obsessed with him.
We have learned that he loves other dogs and wants to play with his Foster’s dog! He’s so sweet, friendly & doesn’t have many teeth left. We love him & you will too! #maedayhector
Ronnie
We’d like to introduce you to Ronnie!!!😍🐾 This 6-year old guy came to us from the West LA shelter - a volunteer we know told us how sweet he was & how the poor guy had been clearly neglected or on his own for a while because he was very dirty and matted when he came in. They groomed him/shaved him down at the shelter & then we swooped in to save him. We promise his gorgeous fluffy hair will grow back in no time and he’ll have the best glow up!
Ronnie is now doing SO well — potty trained, great on walks, loves all people, knows how to sit/shake, is good with dogs, doesn’t have separation anxiety, and LOVES to cuddle. He’s about 32 lbs — which is a perfect medium size …and we think he is a poodle/terrier mix of some kind. He was clearly in a home before …and we are sad for whatever circumstances landed him at the shelter in the state he was in. But we are happy that Ronnie is now with us at MaeDay — Life can change fast! #maedayronnie
Mona
Meet MONA!🩷🐾 This gal came to us from the shelter where she was an owner surrender. We are sad that she lost her family but we already know that she’s a total gem!
Mona is about 10-12 years old, and a tiny 8 lbs. She loves people, is potty trained, good with other dogs, and loves to cuddle. She had a really bad mouth of teeth - which likely comes from neglect & poor nutrition in her previous home. But that’s ok - after her dental surgery, she now only has 8 teeth left and her mouth is sparkly clean & minty fresh! She loves to be around her people so someone that is home a lot would be ideal for her — she is super happy, confident, & sweet …and looking for her perfect forever retirement home! #maedaymona
Bebe
Meet Bebe!! She’s a 10-year old / 12 lb PERFECT girl who was an owner surrender to the city shelter after her human could no longer safely care for her. We are thrilled to have this pup in Maeday and she is already making friends with everyone she meets!
Bebe gets along with dogs, is fixed, healthy, potty trained, great on leash, and loves to sleep next to you and cuddle! She loves to be with her person but doesn’t have any separation anxiety when she’s left. We can’t wait to get to know this girl better but so far she is a winner! #maedaybebe
Princeton
Meet Princeton! We saved Princeton from the shelter hours before he was set to be euthanized. He was not doing well in the shelter environment and was having lots of stomach issues, so he needed to get out of there & seen by a vet asap.
Princeton is about 7-8 years old, 11 lbs, and is feeling much better now! He was a volunteer favorite at the shelter - always wanting kisses and cuddles. He is doing well with his potty training, loves to sit on your lap, and gets along great other dogs! #maedayprinceton
Theo
Meet Theo! Theo was found in an abusive situation with his past owner. A good samaritan intervened & thankfully took him away from this awful situation (the owner happily gave him up) — he was emaciated, caked in his own 💩, and scared. But now he’s cleaned up, vaccinated, neutered, fed, happy, & ready to find a forever home!
Theo is 2 years old, 20 lbs, and a poodle/doodle of some kind. He’s very sweet, friendly with other dogs, and loves toys. Theo is such a sweet soul and is adjusting well! #maedaytheo
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
Leam
Meet Leam!
This gentleman is Leam and he is a 12 year old fixed boy who sadly lost his home after his human was elderly and could no longer care for him properly. He is litter trained, great with other cats and loves a lap. Give this guy the best senior years of his life and adopt him. #maedayleam
Flynn
Meet Flynn! He’s a very handsome 3ish year old, 14 lb little guy who was so happy to be busted out of the shelter! He’s sweet, happy, good with human & dogs …and seems like a perfect terrier/poodle mix combo.
Flynn is also very energetic and playful - he loves playing with the other dog in his foster home, going for Zoomies around the yard, and chasing squirrels on his walks. He’s also a cuddly perfect lap dog too! #maedayflynn
Cookie
Meet Cookie! This granny was an owner surrendered to the shelter with two other dogs, and her human was in tears. We don’t know the circumstances, but we do know that she was loved. She is potty trained, loves other dogs, has a lot of energy for a senior lady and is game for adventures. She gets attached to a human pretty quickly and wants to be your best friend. She is around 10-12 years old and is about 10lbs. #maedaycookie
Jacob
Meet Jacob! This 5ish year old 16lb long legged boy came to us from the shelter after being on the euthanasia list for being sick.
