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 :)

Taylor

This is Taylor and she is a 5-7 year old perfect tiny poodle who weighs just 7lbs!  She just came to Maeday after a volunteer saw her being dropped off at the shelter & wanted to help. 

Taylor is now in a Maeday foster home and doing great! She is potty trained, loves other dogs, likes toys and is going to make someone very happy! She is pretty perfect and already sleeping through the night snuggled up with her foster parents - we can’t wait to find her a wonderful happy ending!  #maedaytaylor

Coley

Meet Coley!!! This sweet girl came is about 1-2 years old, 19 lbs, and is clearly a mix of something magical! She is super sweet, friendly, has a lot of puppy energy …and is a total cuddle bug.

Coley was spayed end of last week and now that she is feeling better her puppy-self is coming out. She is a silly girl who loves to play, loves dogs, all people and so far wants to play with her foster’s cats! She is potty trained with a schedule and gets a little excited on a walk, but just needs basic consistency with leash training. She’s a real sweetheart and we can’t wait for her to find her forever family! #maedaycoley

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

George

This is George!!! We we first fell in love with him when he saw him posted on the shelter/volunteer socials and we jumped in to save him! George is 10-12 years old, & 8 lbs. This guy loves everyone including other dogs. He likes to cuddle and will scratch your hand for pets, just like in the video we first saw of him (look at #maedaygeorgedog to see that video)

George was just neutered, got his eyes checked (he has dry eye that will require medication), and is now in tip top shape and ready for adoption! He’s a senior guy that is looking for the perfect home for his golden years — he’s such a loving guy and we can’t wait for him to find it!  #maedaygeorgedog

Sunflower

Meet Sunflower 🌻 this tiny 5lb girl was surrendered to the shelter after her human was experiencing homelessness. When we went to the shelter to save two other dogs, we saw this girl was scared & shaking in her cage, so we rescued her, too - thankfully we had a foster who was ready to jump in with her!

We are so excited to welcome Sunflower into Maeday Rescue and so far we’ve learned that she loves other dogs, is great on leash and loves treats! Sunflower is was great in the car and loves cuddling up on her foster mom‘s lap and getting cozy. She’s about 10 years old, already spayed, healthy & doing great — she’s a typical chihuahua in that she is sweet but also sassy and knows what she wants. We can’t wait to find a wonderful forever home for this teeny tiny dynamo! #maedaysunflower

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

Felix

Meet Felix! This 8ish year old / 13 lb sweet shitzu boy was hanging out at the Pasadena Humane shelter with a bad skin infection. The shelter reached out to us and asked if we could help him - Pasadena Humane is still very overwhelmed with animals since the Eaton Fire and we were happy to save this boy! 

He went to our vet and his skin inflammation seems to be a result of neglect, bad food and no flea prevention. He is VERY sweet, easy, potty trained,  and it breaks our hearts that someone let his skin get to this terrible stage. He is now on the mend and is hoping to find his perfect home  #maedayfelix 

Reuben

Meet Reuben! This one year old spaniel mix came to us after a Maeday follower DM’d us saying that she met a woman who could no longer keep her dog. She got him when he was 5 months old and her boyfriend started tying him to a chair inside the house on a heavy chain when she’s at work (she works as a street vendor). She wants what’s best for him and luckily surrendered him to Maeday! 

He is now fixed, vaccinated & chipped. Reuben is shy at first but within about five minutes, he is doing zoomies and trying to get you to play with him. He is a playful 20 pound guy who loves other dogs & people — he is going to make someone’s home complete. #maedayreuben 

Madison

Hello from Madison, our new pup who is a 5 year good girl. 

She sadly was surrendered to us because the previous owner was moving. He had her since she was a puppy and although we don’t understand people and their reasoning for rehoming their pets, we are just happy we could take her in because she’s the best girl! 

She is about 15 lbs — a sweet girl, who walks great on leash, is loving, loves other dogs and is potty trained. She will fit right into your home!   #maedaymadisondog 

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 

Turner

Meet Turner! 

Who is Turner, you may ask?!? Well,Turner is 13 years old, about 15 lbs, and a Poodle/Pomeranian mix. Turner was sadly surrendered to us after they had him for 13 years — his parents now have two children under 2 years old & he wasn’t getting the attention he deserves. 

We are sad that Turner lost the only home he’s ever known... but we are happy that we can find him a calm retirement home for his golden years. Turner may be 13 years old, but he’s very healthy and still has a lot of energy. He’s potty trained, good with other dogs, and loves to play. We can’t wait to eventually get him settled & into a true forever home! #maedayturner 

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

Meet Pirate! Pirate is about 6-8 years old, 12 lbs, good with other dogs, and sweet as can be! He’s recovering from his neuter and loves cuddling & getting belly rubs from his foster mom.

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

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.

He is potty trained, cuddly, loves all people and likes other dogs. #maedayjacob
