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 :)

Panini

Meet Panini! The cutest sandwich in the land, filled with kisses and love. This guy suddenly found him dumped at the shelter after he went blind. Our vet diagnosed him with SARDS which is where a dog can become blind literally overnight. He is definitely confused having his sight disappear and everything he knew go away quickly. Despite all of this, he is the sweetest guy. He comes to anyone’s voice and immediately just starts licking the air, hoping to give kisses. He is potty trained, great with other dogs and good on leash. #maedaypanini

Susie

Meet Susie! 
She is a petite poodle mix who is about 8 lbs & around 5 years old. She is hypoallergenic, very sweet and pushes her head into your hand for pets. She seems potty trained and is a great houseguest for her foster! #maedaysusie 

Doreen

Meet Doreen! This 9ish year old weighs in at 11lbs and has legs that measure 2.5 inches. She is the sweetest girl who loves all people and all dogs! She is ready for any adventure and just wants to find her loving home. 

Teensy

Meet Teensy! This tiny 6.5lbs girl is around 3 years old and is a lover. She was labeled a “stray” who found herself at the shelter. She likes other dogs and is the perfect travel size and best friend to go around town with you and have adventures.

Redford

Meet Redford! This 1 year old scruffy guy is around 10lbs and was dumped in the fields of Bakersfield. He is shy at first with strangers, but warms up very fast! He loves to play, likes toys, loves other dogs and is a great house guest! #maedayredford 

Sassy & Smokey

Meet our newest BONDED PAIR, Sassy & Smokey! This duo was adopted from a shelter at 8 weeks old and has lived with the same family these past 11 years. Their family loved them so much, but fell on financial hard times and had to relinquish them to the shelter. Smokey is around 17lbs and he is a very happy & energetic guy! Sassy is about 22lbs and needs to lose a couple pounds to get to a healthier weight. She’s very nice, loving and not as hyper as Smokey! #maedaysmokeyandsassy

Effie

Effie is a 1-2 year old / 11 lb happy bouncy girl who was adopted from South LA shelter and returned a couple days later because the adopter’s existing dog was not being nice to her. Now she is with Maeday rescue. She loves walks, loves to play, loves other dogs and has loved every human she has met!

Sierra

Meet Sierra! Sierra was an owner surrender to the Harbor shelter for reasons unknown. She is potty trained, perfect, likes other dogs, great on leash and literally has no behavioral issues. She is around 11 years old, 20 lbs, and is just happy-go-lucky. There must have been a very good reason for her owner to leave her at the shelter, because we can’t figure out why somebody wouldn’t want her. #maedaysierra

Icee & Frosty

Icee & Frosty were born in DTLA and found their way to Maeday. Their two littermates have been adopted and these two are hoping to find their home soon! They were born at the beginning of June, are litter trained, loving, social, cuddly and good with other cats and dogs. Icee is a boy and Frosty is a tabby girl. Icee is all white with orange ears and an orange tail, we’ve never seen a cat like him. #maedayfrozendesserts

Powder

Meet Powder! This 1-2 year old scruffy guy is playful, loving and gets along with everyone. He is potty trained and learning the ropes of being a big boy. His owner sadly passed away and he soon found his way to Maeday. #maedaypowder

Winks

Meet Winks! This sweet kitten was born around June 7 and was found as a stray with infected eyes. She is so loving, affectionate and being sick didn’t stop her big personality. She's litter box trained, likes other cats, and is not scared of dogs. She may end up being blind in one eye, but we think that just makes her extra special. #maedaywinks

Loretta

Loretta is a 1-2 year old perfect girl. She loves hard, kisses strangers, loves toys and loves other dogs. She is about 20lbs and if we did a DNA panel, we’d put money on a lab, spaniel & chihuahua. #maedayloretta

Kingston

Who is this cutie, you ask?!? It’s KINGSTON!!! We just rescued Kingston & he’s settling into his foster home nicely. We were contacted by a shelter about a hoarding situation where 15 Merle Pomeranians were found. We were able to rescue 2 that needed our help — and this guy is one of them! He was a bit of a matted mess, but we took him for a bath, de-shed, and full spa day.

Kingston is 3-4 years old, 11 lbs, potty trained, good with other dogs, We can’t wait to get him into an awesome forever home where he can live the life he was meant to live! #maedaykingston

Hazel

Look at this happy girl!😍 Introducing new MaeDay dog HAZEL!!! This 10-year old cutie sadly found herself at the shelter — and we heard about how lovely she was and how badly she needed out. She was waiting there for too long, and thanks to her fosters, we got to give her a freedom ride! No more shelter for her! 

Hazel is about 13 lbs, so adorable, and is already feeling better! She saw our vet where she was treated for her skin (a bad & untreated flea infestation), her ear infections, and got some antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection. She is on the mend and will be good as new in no time! 

Hazel has a super chill & sweet disposition, but can also be playful. She’s still a little scared but starting to settle in & is sleeping through the night in her crate (good girl!). Welcome to MaeDay, Hazel! #maedayhazel

Pops

Meet Pops! This 12-ish year old senior boy was sitting in the shelter sad and scared. Thanks to his fosters, we were able to save him and put him on a path to a better life! 

He is great in his crate overnight, loves walks, and is great with other dogs. Pops is only 9 lbs and a total sweetheart that likes to lounge around a lot He is still settling in and we are honored to be able to help on his forever home journey!  #maedaypopsdog

Pax

Please meet our new guy PAX!!!

Pax means peace and it fits because this sweetie is super peaceful and loving. We busted him out of the the shelter after they reached out to us about him — they loved him and wanted to see someone take good care of him. And that’s exactly what we’re doing thanks to his fosters!!

Pax is about 8-10ish years old, 15 lbs, and the cutest little guy. He has some dry eye (that has impaired his vision a bit), has an ear infection, and desperately needed a dental …but he’s been to our vet and is now on the mend! His fosters say that he’s mellow, loves belly rubs, and is super affectionate. We can’t wait to get him feeling better, and on the path to his forever home! Welcome to the pack, Pax!  #maedaypax

Lugosi

Meet Lugosi! This senior 12ish year old boy was scared at the shelter and we can’t imagine who would dump a super senior like this there. Our heart breaks for him but we were happy to save him! He has hind leg arthritis, a heart murmur and is just so so sweet. He wants to go on strolls, likes pets and loves everyone he meets. He’s only 12 lbs so he’s an easy guy to have around! We named him Lugosi (after Bela Lugosi) because of his fabulous snaggletooth! Give a warm welcome to Grandpa Lugosi!! #maedaylugosi

Dusty

Meet Dusty!!! He has a fabulous underbite and was so well behaved when he was groomed right as soon as he came out of the shelter! Goody boy!  

Dusty is approximately 7 years old, 15 lbs, and clearly a shitzu of some kind. He just came to us from the shelter where he was an owner surrender — he has a skin condition that we are helping to solve for him. He went to the vet and got treated for his skin & ear infections ….and is beginning his healing journey now! He’ll be better in no time. We are so happy to get him feeling better and on the road to his happy ending! Dusty is potty trained, good with other dogs, and is very friendly & sweet. Let’s welcome him!!!  #maedaydusty

Jim

Meet JIM!!! He was thrilled to get out of the shelter — was radiating pure joy! We are so happy we could bust him out & turn his life around! Huge thanks to his foster for making it possible. 

Jim is approximately 4-5 years old, 15ish lbs, and seems like maybe a Yorkie or Havanese mix? He was quite matted when he first came to us and has clearly been through a lot - he was brought into the shelter as a stray and had a wound on his front paw/some damage on his nails/foot pads. Those sad days are behind him now! He has a little limp but after. x-rays there’s no obvious break or damage so it’s likely an old injury that didn’t heal correctly - but he gets around fine and is the best boy! 

Jim is super friendly, potty trained, loves belly rubs, and is great with other dogs. help us welcome him to the pack! #maedayjim

Argo 

Meet Argo! Argo was left behind by his previous owner and some family members stepped in to help him & reached out to us - they want to find him the best home! He’s been through a lot but he’s a resilient guy. 

He is around 5 years old, 20 lbs, bilingual, gets along with other dogs and can be shy with new people — he’ll need someone that is patient and goes slow with him. But once he trusts you, he’s an awesome little dog!

Fill out an application to meet Argo! #maedayargo

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

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

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

Lady Lacy

Meet Lacy! Lacy is a 7yo., 87lb. Great Pyrenese or Swiss Shepherd mix. Lacy was surrendered to the shelter and she patiently waited for 6 months until we were able to bust her out of the shelter.
