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 :)

Manuka

Manuka is a 9ish week old chihuahua mix girl who was born at the beginning of January. Her birth mom wandered onto a property where she gave birth and the family was nice enough to find homes for three of the puppies and are keeping and fixing the Mom. They couldn’t find homes for the two remaining puppies so reached out to Maeday Rescue. The family had kids, so she and her sister agave are extremely socialized, loving and not scared of anything. She is 100% pee pad trained and can easily be potty trained outside in her forever home with a routine. #maedaymanuka 

Agave

Agave is as sweet as her name! This puppy was born in early January to a dog mom who wandered on to someone’s property and gave birth. They decided to keep the Mom and successfully adopted out three of the puppies, but could not find homes for the remaining two. We were happy to welcome Agave and her sister! She is fully pee pad trained, loves everyone, is social, happy and a fun, smart puppy! #maedayagave

Rhubarb

Rhubarb!! This girl we thought was MAXIMUM 2 years old, but after discovering she has a microchip, we learned she is 11! She has a very young spirit, dances for treats, does shake, sit and was clearly someone’s dog at some point in her life. At the beginning of March, she was found living with an unhoused man on the street eating dried Parmesan cheese off the sidewalk while sitting in the hot sun in a plastic basket with no shade. The man said I don’t want this dog anymore. Could you take her? It turns out he found her a couple of months ago and has had her ever since. After we called the phone number on the microchip and sent out letters to the last known address which was registered in 2017. Chances are she has lived in a couple of places since 2017 and she may have been on the street for much longer than a couple of months. She came full of fleas, ticks and a bad skin infection. Now she is feeling like a million bucks and we legally have permission to make her a Maeday dog and we were happy to do so! She is potty trained, loves everyone and is a perfect houseguest #maedayrhubarb

Wowie

Oh Wow, meet Wowie! 

This 1.5 year old girl lived on a small patio that she shared with caged birds and construction equipment for her entire life. Her neighbor finally was able to have her relinquished to Maeday and now she is enjoying living in a foster home. She is great with other dogs, good with all people- but, could use some basic leash training (since she was never walked). Since she never had any toys, she just discovered them and loves them! It’s very cute to see her play.  #maedaywowie

Scott

Scott is a hypoallergenic boy who is 2 years old, a lover of all humans and dog & great on leash. He is fixed, vaccinated and can’t wait to find his forever home. #maedayscott

Bob

Meet Bob! This 1.5 year old, 17lb guy was found on the street severely matted and covered with fleas. He had likely never been groomed before so once we gave him a spa day, he felt like a new dog! He is loving, happy, loves other dogs and is sure to win your heart! #maedaybob

Gene

Meet Gene! This gentleman is easy going, about 8 years old, fixed and healthy. He just had a dental and has a fresh new smile that is sure to win you over! He weighs 17lbs & is great with dogs. He is great in leash and may be hypoallergenic, but we don’t know for sure #maedaygene

Coya

This 14lb cutie is an 11 month old neutered fluffer, who was found dumped in the Sequoia forrest. We are calling him Coya and he’s delicious! He is great with dogs, cats and loves all humans. #maedaycoya

Sparky 

Sparky is a 10 year old fluff ball who loves other dogs, his crate and all people. He was relinquished by his foster mom’s house cleaner who was afraid to walk him due to ICE. She has had his since he was a puppy and hated not walking him as he was used to. He had been a great houseguest to his foster and can’t wait to find his next forever home #maedaysparky

Cleo 

Meet Cleo! This 2 year old cutie is a DREAM! She came to us from the shelter after she was an owner surrender because they were moving. They wrote down “great dog, loves belly rubs” and that she does 🥺 

She is spayed, vaccinated, chipped, about 14lbs and great with dogs. We already have a major crush on her and you will too.#maedaycleo

Manicotti 

Meet Manicotti! This 8 year old, very happy, very waggy low rider guy found himself at the shelter with a chip, but nobody came for him. He is great with dogs, people, leash trained, crushes a puzzle toy & he is potty trained. He is healthy, fixed and ready to find his forever family. #maedaymanicotti

Sprite

Meet Sprite! This 7 year old girl has had a rough life. We first saw her at the shelter hiding in her cage with fear. She was so excited to exit the shelter and we soon learned she is a shy girl in general, who really distrusts men. She loves women, but will need a gentle and passionate man in her life to overcome her fear. She is potty trained and will tell you when she needs to go out. Is cuddly (with women) and gets along with other chill dogs. Follow her journey through her hashtag #maedaysprite

Behr

Behr came to us with two other siblings who have since been adopted. They were known as the #maedaypaintlitter because they all had blue paint on their bodies. They were found in downtown LA and Skid Row and we took them in at about two months old. Behr was born with a rare, genetic mutation where they had both female and male genitalia. They had a reconstructive surgery in the beginning of March and are now fully healed. They are now biologically a female dog, and the vet is confident that she will have no major health complications in the future. She is a typical puppy who is very smart, loves other dogs, good with cats and is already understanding potty training. Her adopted sibling’s parents did their DNA and she is husky, lab and Shepherd. #maedaybehr

Little Girl & Sunny 

Meet Little Girl & Sunny! 

Little Girl & Sunny are a bonded cat duo who came to us with their dog sisters, Croquette & Angela. They laid with their human mom for days after she had passed away due to old age. Sadly, this isn’t the first time they have gone through that. Their first human also died of old age and now their second one did. Yet, every time they go to a new home they are curious, loving and social. They are litter trained, cuddly and just want a home or fostpice home where they can retire. They both have low grade heart murmurs and kidney disease, which means they are on meds and prescription food. Please consider opening up your home to them and if you can’t adopt fully at this time, but are interested in becoming their long-term foster please reach out or fill out our foster application. #maedaylittlegirl #maedaysunny 

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 

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
