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 :)
Javier
Look at this beauty! Meet Javier!!! We are already crushing on him hard — this low rider is PERFECT and we mean it!
He was originally found in Mexico, living amongst trash. Thankfully, a local rescuer took him in near her home in San Diego, and he finally made his way up to us. He is great with kids, potty trained, trusting, good on leash, likes other animals and did we say perfect?!
He is around 7-8 years old, about 25lbs. He looks like a terrier, basset hound, and corgi had a baby. He’s fixed, vaxxed, and ready to find his home! We love him and you will too! #maedayjavier
Essie
Here’s Essie!!! She was found near our store covered in fleas, with inflamed skin, no fur and starving. After holding her, nobody has claimed her and now she’s officially a Maeday dog thanks to her new Fosters! She is so happy & grateful to be cared for and loves everyone she meets
Essie is about 8-10 years old, a small 7 lbs, seems potty trained, loves other dogs and is very cuddly. She has one cataract in her left eye & her skin is healing — we cannot wait to see where this sweet girl ends up. We are so happy that we can be part of her journey. #maedayessie
Clayton & Cleo
Meet Clayton & Cleo! We just welcomed this tiny duo into Maeday …but they sadly came from such bad neglect that we already had to take care of some things (like removing all the horrible matting from their tiny little bodies). We heard about them from volunteers at the shelter after they were brought in by someone who saw them being dumped out of a car. The state of them was very sad to see, but those days are behind them ….and look how happy they already are in their foster home! They are fixed up, healthy & ready to find their forever home!
These two are SO tiny (Clayton is 5 lbs & Cleo is only 3.5 lbs), friendly, and love each other very much. They are also both about 4 years old. We don’t know if they’re related (or how), but they’re clearly both Yorkie mixes and have been through a lot of trauma together …and are now looking for their happy ending! #maedayclayton #maedaycleo
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
Beatriz
Meet Beatriz! A terrier mix cutie who is 1-2 years old and around 12lbs. She loves other dogs and loves all people. She is still young, so definitely needs some stability and a routine to help her learn how to “dog.” We haven’t tested her with Catz, but we feel like she will be very sweet and loving. Check out her hash to learn more on Instagram #maedaybeatriz
Sylvia & Franco
Sylvia & Franco! This duo are most likely brother and sister and were saved from a hoarding situation where they were living with 22 other Peekingnese! The chances that these two are “bonded” out of 22 dogs is low, but they do like one another and are very cute together. We would love to get them adopted together, but if they are separated, they must go into a home that already has another dog. They are 1-2 years old, potty trained and like other dogs and all people. #maedayfranco #maedaysylvia
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
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!
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
Goose
Let me introduce you to the newest Maeday dog, Goose! This silly guy is around 2-3 years old and just has a zest for life. He is happy, good on leash, loves every dog he meets and loves all humans. He is about 18lbs of pure sweetness. #maedaygoose
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
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
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. She's potty trained and will tell you when she needs to go out. She is great with every dog she has met. She is very calm and friendly! Follow along on Instagram to learn more about her. #maedayLadyLacy
