Timon, a senior Australian shepherd, needs someone
We received this alert today passed on from San Pedro Dogs and Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue about "Timon," a 10-year-old Australian shepherd who is at the Harbor Animal Care Center in San Pedro (ID # is A1017089).
I called the shelter and Timon is currently being held under quarantine because he bit someone. I don't know the details, but the officer I spoke to indicated the animal would be available for adoption (provided tests for disease come back clear and he's released from quarantine).
Because of this, he will only be adopted out to a bonafide rescue group, not a private party. It's not clear when the 10-day quarantine period will be up.
The shelter is at 957 N. Gaffey St., San Pedro. The telephone number is 1-888-452-7381.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
