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 :)

Mama Artemis & Kittens

Her kittens were born around March 1st and there are 3 boys & 2 girls. They are all litter trained at this young age, they are all social and already comfortable with dogs. Apply for Artemis or any of her kittens Comet, Astro, Galaxy, Eclipse or Orbit #maedaymamaartemis 

Molé

Meet Maeday Molé! This gorgeous red head is 1-2 years old, potty trained, lover of toys, lover of fetch, and lover of life. He is great with all humans, all dogs and we suspect he’d be chill with cats too. He is 8lbs full of sweetness. He is also healthy and ready to find his forever family #maedaymole 

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 

Sky

Sky is a gorgeous 1 year old who was surrendered because they simply didn’t have time. Sky is perfect, so I guess they didn’t have time for the constant love and happiness you feel when you are around her. Sky is potty trained, great with other dogs, great with all people and is a little shy on leash, but gaining confidence every day. She gives delicate little kisses, she loves belly rubs, and is going to make someone’s family very happy. #maedaysky 

Squid

Meet Squid!! This small chihuahua came from a hoarding situation and found his was to Maeday rescue. He is about 8lbs, 5 years old, already neutered & great with other dogs. He is a little shy at first with new people, but a very gentle soul. 

He is potty trained, has all of his shots, is healthy and is getting more comfortable everyday. #maedaysquid 

Olive Oyl

Have you ever wanted a Miniature Italian Greyhound …but just wished it could be scruffy?! Well, then Olive Oyl is your gal!!!

Olive Oyl is approximately 6-8 years old, 8 lbs, potty trained, and great with other dogs AND cats— she’d probably prefer a pup pal in her forever home to show her the ropes and help her gain confidence. 

Olive was found in a hoarding situation …so she didn’t have much love, care, or attention for the couple years she was there. Because of that, she’s still a bit of a shy fry and can get quite scared with new people/places. The good news is that she warms up fairly quickly and is already cuddling and feeling more confident inside her foster home. We can’t wait to find her a forever home so she’ll always feel loved and secure #maedayoliveoyl 

Pimento

Meet Pimento! 

This 5 year old guy was melting hearts at the Harbor Shelter in San Pedro and the volunteers reached out to Maeday and said “YOU MUST TAKE THIS PERFECT DOG.” We did and they weren’t lying, he is perfect. He is potty trained, is a gentleman with his foster’s dog, walks nicely on leash, no separation anxiety and lives for belly rubs. He is respectfully playful and just an overall wonderful houseguest. He is fixed, up to date on vaccines and ready to find his forever home. #maedaypimento

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

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

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

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
