Among them is a very cute one-eyed Havanese/poodle mix (miniature) named Alfie (ID# A1193402). He's 11 months old and is very affectionate.

SPECIAL-NEEDS DOGS AT HARBOR
SHELTER
Sunday, March 6, 2011
Please can you help any of
these five, beautiful, special-needs dogs who are languishing at Harbor Shelter
in the clinic. No one sees the special-needs dogs there and quite
often their time runs
out without anyone ever having a chance to help
them!
Please contact the shelter
directly at 310-548-2632
- Please don't rely on contacting me, because I work all week and have no
time to check e-mails and time is of the
essence with all of these dogs in need, so please
CONTACT THE HARBOR SHELTER DIRECTLY!!!
The address is
Harbor Shelter, 927 North Gaffey Street, San Pedro, CA 90731 - Telephone:

| SUNSHINE - ID#A1190730 My name is Sunshine and I am a spayed female, white and tan Pomeranian. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years old. I weigh approximately 10 pounds. I have been at the shelter since Feb 19, 2011. This very pretty little girl had an old injury to her eye and no one took care of it, so when she arrived at the shelter, it had to be removed. It hasn't dampened her dear little personality, though! She's a little sweetheart, who loves nothing better than to relax on your lap!!! Perfect little companion! |

COOKIE - ID#A1068865
My name is Cookie and I am a spayed female, white Terrier mix and Poodle - Miniature. The shelter thinks I am about 14 years old. I weigh approximately 10 pounds. I have been at the shelter since Mar 05, 2011. I don't know why this little
flower is at the shelter, but she shouldn't be! She's 14-years
old and blind and as sweet and gentle as can be! She uses her
nose to decide who you are when you approach her cage, hoping you're
coming to take her to a warm, loving place. Such a delicate
little angel doesn't deserve to left alone at the shelter. Could
someone PLEASE rescue
her???? |
| NALA - ID#A1191745 My name is Nala and I am a spayed female, black and tan Miniature Pinscher and Chihuahua - Smooth Coated. The shelter thinks I am about 6 years old. I weigh approximately 13 pounds. I have been at the shelter since Feb 25, 2011. Sleek, lovely little girl. Sweet-natured and fun-loving. Has a torn ligament in her leg, so may need a bit of vet care. Please can someone help her get out of the shelter? |

SACI - ID#A1192010
My name is Saci and I am a neutered male, black and white Shih Tzu. The shelter thinks I am about 6 years old.I weigh approximately 16 pounds. I have been at the shelter since Feb 27, 2011 Nothing wrong with this
handsome little boy, that a good bath and a bit of grooming didn't take
care of. He still looks a bit dazed in this photo at having all
of that awful, matted hair removed, but he's ready to go -- just needs a
rescue to help him find a new home!!! |
|
TOFFEE - ID#A1178488
My name is Toffee and I am a neutered male, tan Pit Bull Terrier mix. The shelter thinks I am about 8 months old. I weigh approximately 32 pounds. I have been at the shelter since Feb 13, 2011 Is it a bird, is it a
plane?? No, it's a very cute puppy with great big ears!!!
Adorable little pitbull mix. But one eye is damaged and, I believe,
blind. Hey, nobody's perfect! --- He looks a bit bull
terrier-ish, so he's a smaller build than a regular pitbull. He is
now out in the general kennel population, but needs your help,
please? |

***Update 1/29/11: I'm told Jasper has been adopted. :-)

Particularly disheartening because records showed that just a year earlier -- in January 2010 -- the Clinico spay-neuter clinic at the shelter
provided a free surgery and microchip for the newly adopted cat.When shelter officials contacted his registered owners, though, "they did not want him anymore."
There's no information on the circumstances surrounding the gunshot, but the shelter says his wounds are now healing and he's "more than ready" for a permanent home. And his time at the shelter is running out.
If you can open your home to this very loving cat who's had a tough start (he's about a year and a half old), contact:
Harbor Animal Care Center
957 N. Gaffey St.
San Pedro
Call 310-548-2632 or 213-305-8323 or email leslie.corea@lacity.org.

Los Angeles Animal Services is finding new ways to place many of the dogs that overflow the city's six shelters, including the one in San Pedro.
Working with the Shelter Hope Project and the Humane Society, they've partnered with other shelters around the country to put dogs in areas where they're most likely to find new homes.
In the eastern part of the country, for example, there are waiting lists for the small dogs that are so plentiful in L.A.'s shelters.
Here's a video telling about the 64 dogs recently sent to Seattle, Washington, as part of the project. Among those who have been involved is Nicky and other volunteers at the Harbor Animal Care Center in San Pedro.
Good job everyone. Let's hope these guys find wonderful homes.
About the Bloggers
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.
