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 :)
Dumpling
Dumpling! This delicious girl is named Dumpling and she’s a 4 year old dreamboat. She loves everyone, great with dogs, great on walks and is the perfect houseguest for her foster parents. She is pee pad trained and is low to the ground weighing about 12lbs. Check out her hashtag #maedaydumpling
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
Farrow
Meet Farrow! The only female from the #maedaypaintlitter
She and her brothers were found in skid row with their mom covered in blue paint. Farrow is the biggest of the litter with long model legs and a face that gives lab. She will likely be anywhere from 40-60lbs full grown (but that’s just a guess) She is a playful puppy with tons of energy. Follow her hashtag #maedayfarrow
Behr
Behr is part of the #maedaypaintlitter
and is the smallest of the pups. Their tail looks like a frenchie or pug tail and they will be smaller than the two littermates once they are full grown. Behr is the sweetest, but was born with hypospadias, a very rare genetic mutation which means they have both female & male genitalia. So far Behr is using the bathroom properly and Behr is acting like a normal puppy. We don’t know if this means they have any female internal organs or male. We are currently working with a specialist to figure out next steps. Follow Behr’s journey through their hashtag #maedaybehr
Sherwin
Meet Sherwin from our current puppy litter known as the #maedaypaintlitter
He is about 2 months old and is a typical puppy. His mom is a Shepard/lab mix and he was found in DTLA with his dog family covered in blue paint (which is still on him and won’t come off) He is healthy, has his first round of vaccines and will most likely be about 40-60lbs full grown. Follow his hashtag to fall in love #maedaysherwin
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

Annie
Meet Maeday Annie!
This dainty 40lb girl was left at the shelter in the beginning of November by her family after being their loyal 9 year old girl. We have no idea why she was abandoned, because she is PERFECT! Sweet, potty trained, good with all dogs, has manners, easy on leash & no separation anxiety.
Adopt this angel. #maedayannie
Pogo
This is Pogo!
He’s about 1ish year old / 14 lbs and a still a puppy at heart. He’s an energetic pup who is not only gorgeous …but also a lover. He was an owner surrender due to homelessness which is very sad, but we are happy we could save him from the shelter & help to turn his life around. We know he loves walks, love to play, is good with other dogs, & is still learning the ropes. Pogo is very smart very sweet and will make someone’s family complete!
Welcome to Maeday, Pogo! We are excited to help you find the perfect home. #maedaypogo
Rainbow
Rainbow is a three year old neutered boy who was adopted from Maeday at 2 months old. 3 years later they wanted to re-home do to not having enough time. We pride ourselves on finding forever homes, but of course this can still happen. Rainbow is with a Maeday foster sharing space with their cat and is loving it! He is social, cuddly, litter trained and healthy. He would love to live with another cat to be his bff! #maedayrainbow
Smudge
Smudge!!! This kissable face is Smudge, he is a 1-2 year old 60lb boy that was going to be euthanized after only a week for being scared at the shelter. He is great with other dogs and thinks he is a cat- he just wants to be on your lap or sleep next to your head on your pillow! He knows commands, is potty trained and is going to make someone very happy! #maedaysmudge
Angela
Meet Angela! This gentle senior girl is part of the family we saved after their mom passed away. We were told she was given to the woman who recently passed away from her friend years ago after she died. So sweet Angela has lost two humans in her life and that also means we don’t exactly know how old she is. They said at least 10, but we think she is closer to about 13. She likes naps, strolls, likes other dogs and cats. She likes every person she meets and has an endearing tail wag. #maedayangela
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
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
