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 :)

The Vacation Litter

Meet the Vacay litter! We always give our rescue litters a theme name and this crew wants to take you to a summer vacation spot! The vacay litter was born on June 19th to a chihuahua mix mom who weighs 15lbs and was found on the streets in Bakersfield.

Ibiza, Maui, and Tulum are female (Ibiza is the only one out of the girls that is still 100% available) While Santorini, Fiji, Hampton, Cabo (the only boy spoken for) Turks, and Caicos are males. We have no clue who the puppy daddy was, so your guess is as good as ours. We assume they’ll be anywhere from 12-20lbs full grown (but, that’s a guess) They are all healthy, happy, social and love all dogs and are comfortable with cats.

Nyla

Meet Nyla! This 5 year old beauty is the mom of the #maedayvacaylitter She was found VERY pregnant running on the streets of Bakersfield. She was a great mom and tolerated her NINE puppies until she was done nursing them and wanted her own mom time. She is in her own foster home now and is doing great. She gets along with other dogs, loves to cuddle and was nervous on walks at first, but getting better every day. She will tell you when she needs to go out, but since we don’t know her past- we are still learning her communication style. She is 15lbs and is such a love!

Smooch is a very sweet wide eyed and playful splotchy black and white female kitten. She has a big appetite and a mighty personality. She loves playing with toys and her foster siblings. She is friendly to humans too but doesn’t love being held for too long by strangers. But once she gets to know you, she’ll climb up to you for cuddles. She is litter box trained and ready to find her forever home with hopefully another cat she can play with!

Tulip

Tulip is a lovely 3 year old petite 40lb gal who has a sad story. She found herself at North Central Shelter about two years ago and was adopted directly from the shelter from a family who had adopted a Maeday dog in the past. In October of 2025, this past adopter reached out to us asking for help after she was diagnosed with cancer. She sadly lost her battle with cancer in July 2026 and at that time Tulip became a permanent Maeday dog. Tulip is social, playful with other dogs, good with all people and kids and would be good for any living situation. #maedaytulip

Muumuu is the sweetest kitten. She was a solo kitten at a rural shelter and we couldn’t say no. She is great with other cats, comfortable with dogs and is great with her litter box. She is healthy, cuddly and will make a great companion in any (indoor only) living situation.

Ike

Meet the sweetest senior boy, Ike! We were told that he was an owner surrender at the shelter and the past owners said that he is 12 years old. He seems like he is hypoallergenic and he was shaved down at the shelter, but he naturally has very long, shaggy fur. He loves other dogs, is very sweet and gentle, and just wants a place to rest his head and old bones.

Meet Link! This eight year-old boy was found as a stray, covered in fleas and dirt.

Jacques

Bonjour Jacques! 

This handsome 1 year named Jacques, was found as a stray extremely skinny, starving with no collar or chip. He is so sweet and kind that it breaks our hearts to think about what he has endured in his short life. He is great with all humans, including kids, great with other dogs and we think a lab pit mix? He is about 34lbs, but should be 35-40lb once he has put weight on. He is potty trained & has already learned sit. #maedayjacques 

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
