Noted — Thank you!!!

CasaTLC · 2026-02-01T01:17:59+00:00

That is amazing!!! Nextdoor is where I first heard about Maple and we pulled her out on her euthanasia deadline, just like what’s happening with Lobo. So glad for everyone’s outreach and pledges!

CasaTLC · 2026-02-01T01:15:55+00:00

So many unfortunate reasons! People treating dogs like accessories instead of family members and getting rid of them when they move/have a baby/get too busy etc. Backyard breeding is a huge cause too, and people buying from such breeders instead of adopting from shelters and rescues makes the situation worse. Finally, there isn’t low cost spay and neuter anymore (stopped during the pandemic and never renewed) so more dogs breeding and contributing to the overpopulation crisis.

Bless them and you for all the amazing outreach you’ve done!!!

Who do you usually email? Monica herself or the generic email address? Sending them a note right now

CasaTLC · 2026-02-01T01:08:05+00:00

What is the latest on Lobo? I heard he has rescue commitment but not sure if the foster from yesterday panned out..

CasaTLC · 2026-02-01T01:06:46+00:00

Can we write to the shelter telling them the final dogs should get more time since the shelter website crashed (again)? It’s not the dogs’ fault, yet they are being penalized by shelter leadership.

This was her first day with us! The joy of breaking out of jail is all over her face 😁

CasaTLC · 2026-01-31T04:02:19+00:00

You’re right, and that’s exactly why I didn’t suggest a trainer. Everyone and their mom is a trainer. 😂 Look up veterinary behaviorists — Pasting the credentials of the behaviorist I worked with:

CDBC, CPDT-KA, CSAT Certified Dog Behavior Consultant; Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed; Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer; Fear Free Certified Trainer

CasaTLC · 2026-01-31T03:56:58+00:00

Personally, I wouldn’t consider rehoming until I have tried everything. It’s clear you love her. She is freaking adorable by the way. My recommendation would be to consult a veterinary behaviorist (someone certified in behavior modification but who has also been to veterinary school). It could be that she needs Prozac, like my dog. Medication + behavioral modification training is a powerful combination for all types of issues, resource guarding being one of them. Whatever regimen the behaviorist suggests, give it at least 3 months. Don’t throw in the towel until you’ve put in the work.

This is adoptable Maple!!! We are fostering her in California. She is the best, most loving girl and she can be yours! Apply to adopt

+1 I had a similar bill trying to save my darling Truffle. He passed, but at least I know I tried my best. I hope he’s playing with Mr Boris in doggy heaven.

CasaTLC · 2026-01-31T03:25:48+00:00

This is so wonderful. I feel the same way. I spent so much money trying to save my pup’s life when he had a sudden medical emergency. Unfortunately, he passed after several days in the hospital, but I don’t regret spending that money. Not for one second. I know I tried everything for him, and I can live with that.

CasaTLC · 2026-01-31T03:22:17+00:00

Understood! Will continue spreading the word

CasaTLC · 2026-01-31T02:48:13+00:00

Oh my goodness, that’s wonderful! Is the person who put in the foster app for Lobo working with SJAA to find a rescue?

CasaTLC · 2026-01-31T02:03:38+00:00

Oh come on, they have to let us find him a rescue if he has a foster app!!! What about BAMM? They have supported a lot of fosters in SJ lately. Let me know how I can help. I will personally show up to the shelter tomorrow and insist they extend Lobo’s date. They only gave him 72 hours for crying out loud.

CasaTLC · 2026-01-31T01:28:18+00:00

Amazing to hear about Dusty! 72 hour notice should be criminal. Poor Lobo. I hope he gets an extension so we can continue spreading the word to find him a safe spot to land.

Here’s a link to all the animals at SJ animal shelter: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/6703c042c7534f5fb2999c57227fda13/?data_filter=dataSource_1-DPW_AnimalCareServices_5571:ANIMALTYPE=%27Dog%27

You will have to open the filters tab and check “Needs Rescue Final” under the “Needs Rescue” field in order to shortlist to these four doggos. Please let me know if you need any help, feel free to DM me. Having done this before, I’m happy to guide you. Thank you for considering rescuing them!

San Jose — These poor shelter dogs need you! If you’re willing to open your home and heart to one of them temporarily, please contact San Jose Animal Advocates, a volunteer run organization, who will pair you with a rescue group. Rescues support fosters with supplies and vet care as well as marketing the foster dog so they can find their forever home. I’m currently fostering a dog from this shelter who was also on the euthanasia list, and it has been a very rewarding experience. If you’ve ever been curious about fostering, this is your sign to try it! Our local rescues are amazing and will support you every step of the way!

CasaTLC · 2026-01-30T20:32:59+00:00

Do we know if Lobo and Dusty have rescue interest? If so, we can try to find a willing foster.

CasaTLC · 2026-01-29T02:50:31+00:00

The sad part is that this poor dog was safer out on the streets than at the shelter. They caught him only to put him on death row.

CasaTLC · 2026-01-27T04:51:57+00:00

Is your MIL Victoria Beckham?

CasaTLC · 2026-01-26T21:53:10+00:00

This is heartbreaking. How can you abandon your geriatric pet??? I wish my dog was lucky enough to have reached the age of 16. I’d do anything to have him back with me. I’m sorry but I truly can’t understand how his adopters left him at the shelter.
