Meet JUNEBUG! This senior gal with a killer pony found her way to the shelter — we heard about her story and wanted to help. This poor girl was brought into the shelter as a stray — she was severely matted, dirty, and in horrible conditions. The shelter had to shave her down, but her fluffy poodle-y hair will grow back in no time. We are so happy she’s now safe with us! 

Junebug is about 10ish years old, 12 lbs, potty trained …and pretty perfect. After just 2 days, her fosters said this: “She is a dream, lets us know when she wants to go out to the bathroom, very affectionate and loves being picked up/carried, easy to walk, seems to like people/kids/other dogs (of all sizes)” Sounds like an amazing start! June is the month that Junebug’s life turns around! #maedayjunebug

Give a warm welcome to Cash the pug! This almost 8 month old pug came to Maeday after his owner realized they were in over their heads with a pug puppy (please no judgement, they are an older couple). Luckily, their friend reached out to us and can continue fostering him until we find his perfect home. 

He is sweet, active & well behaved. He is good with other dogs and we are excited to get him on the right track. Fill out an app to meet and fall in love with this sweet boy. #maedaycashpug

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

Meet GERTRUDE!!! We busted this sweet tiny gal out of the shelter and she’s happy to be here! As a queer owned rescue, we love celebrating Pride month …so we figured we’d honor novelist, poet, and gay icon Gertrude Stein by naming this adorable pup after her. We think the name suits her, don’t you think? 

Gertrude is approximately 8 years old, 10 lbs, very calm, mellow & sweet! So far we’ve learned that she’s an easy pup to have around - she’s eating great, sleeping great, is potty trained, and loves chillin’ around the house. What more could you want? Gertrude is also great with other dogs. Help us welcome Gertrude to the MaeDay pack! #maedaygertrude

Please meet SHELLY! This gal came to us from the South LA shelter and clearly has been through a lot of sadness & neglect. We heard about how special she was from the shelter and wanted to help. Shelly doesn’t let what she’s been through get her down - she’s a happy girl who loves to wag her tail, play with toys, and go on walks. We are so happy for her that her life is about to turn around! 

Shelly is a tiny 7 lbs (she needs to gain some weight), about 10 years old, and a poodle mix of some kind. Take a look at her before/after photos — she now looks VERY different - But that’s ok - her glorious hair will grow back! We can’t wait for her to start enjoying the good life. Welcome to MaeDay, Shelly!  #maedayshelly

Please marvel at our new pup RUMER!!! This gorgeous & shy little girl found herself at the South LA shelter as a “stray” — we heard she was really scared, a staff favorite, and needed out - how could we say no to this face?!?

Rumer is approx 1 year old, 11 lbs …and has the bluest eyes, the cutest ears, and the shortest little legs! She is still pretty shy & skittish …but coming out of her shell more & more by the minute! Rumer is good with other dogs, has been doing well on leash, and loves to cuddle right on top of her human to feel safe. We can see the playful puppy in her peaking out & know she’s going to be such happy puppy. #maedayrumer

Meet Wexler!!! This cutie is feeling good & is so happy to be getting the TLC he deserves. Poor guy was dumped on a farm/orchard in Bakersfield and was left to fend for himself (this is sadly a common occurrence in this area). We heard about him…and we were happy to take him in and make him a #maedaydog 

Wexler is about 1-2 years old, 15ish pounds, and seems like a combo of a Westie & a Corgi (bc of his long body & short little legs). Whatever he is, he’s a handsome guy and we are happy he’s now safe. Wexler is adjusting well — He has been sleeping like a rock since he got to his foster home and we’re sure it’s because he can finally relax and not have to be on alert all night. What a brave boy! #maedaywexler

Meet Sienna!!! She is an almost 3 month old puppy who already knows sit, is great with dogs, and loves everyone! She is a typical sweet, goofy and curious puppy who we know is going to make someone very happy!

As you can guess, Sienna is going to be a BIG girl & is growing fast! Not sure exactly how big she will get, but we guess 50ish pounds or more. Let’s find this sweet puppy a home! #maedaysienna

Meet Andie! This 1-year old / 9 lb scruffy gal came to us from the South LA shelter where she was very scared & shut down. But now that she’s out of there, she’s happy & being such a good girl! She’s still a bit shy and could benefit from another dog showing her the ropes. Andie is settling in, becoming more outgoing and playful, and enjoying some cuddle time on the couch. We are so happy to welcome her into MaeDay. #maedayandie

Meet Domingo! This tiny 5 lb guy is a new MaeDay dog that we rescued from the South LA shelter and we are happy to welcome him to the pack! He came into the shelter as a stray - We’re not sure what he went through, but he’s already doing better, thriving & happy now that he’s in a safe space.  

Domingo is a young lad of only 1-2 years old, good with other dogs, potty trained, and very sweet! He’s eating like a champ and is so happy to be out of the scary shelter.  #maedaydomingo

Meet Phyllis!!! This 8ish year old shitzu came to us from the shelter after she was found as a “stray.” She may be deaf, but loves people and other dogs! Shes about 9 lbs, potty trained, calm, and a real sweetheart. Check out her before/after pics from her spa day! #maedayphyllis

Meet Kale, Lettuce, Cauliflower, and Onion! These delicious kittens were born around April 1st. They are litter trained, loving, social and are excited to find an indoor only home full of lifelong love. Look for kitten adoption event updates on our Instagram. #maedayveggiekittens

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

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

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

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

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 

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 

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 

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

Meet Ash! This 60lb beauty is around 1.5 years old and is the smartest, floppiest and most gentle girl. She loves other dogs, small or large, is great on leash, knows sit, is potty trained, and great with all humans. We saved her from the shelter and can’t wait to find her perfect forever home. She is going to make someone’s home complete. #maedayash

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
