Updated List 3-05-2010. We want to offer our rescued dogs currently in boarding with a better chapter to their lives. We are calling this our BRIDGE TO A NEW LIFE! program. Fostering benefits a dog in so many ways and ultimately makes them much happier, better socialized and more adoptable. You help us by keeping a dog at home and providing, love, consistency of walks/exercise and appropriate nutrition. In return you take a good dog and make them a better super fantastic dog! You become their bridge to a happy and balanced life. If you are interested or need additional details about this program (including compensation available for fostering) or if you know someone that would be interested please contact Stephanie at stephaniel@animaladvocatesalliance.org.

Hi, my name is Bree, a very pretty wire-haired terrier! I live with my foster mom and two boys, a Chihuahua and a 95-pound pit bull, and they both adore me as I’m a charming, sweet girl. I’m about a year old and have a great figure at 15-pounds. I sing duets with my Chihuahua boyfriend whenever the fire truck goes by, and personally I think we could get a record contract. I love to wrestle, chase and fetch toys with the boys, and sometimes I win! In my quiet time, I love to sit by the window, look out to the world, and ponder the mysteries of life. I also think about finding my forever mom and dad, and how we would love each other forever and ever. If you are interested in adopting me please contact Lee at LeeG@AnimalAdvocatesAlliance.org.

Milla is a Staffordshire Terrier who was found as a stray in the Beverlywood area of Los Angeles on February 7, 2010. A member of the too often misunderstood, neglected, abused and victimized staffie/pit bull breed, Milla was so happy to have found a companion in her rescuer. Unfortunately Milla did not have a microchip and there were no signs of anyone looking for their lost pet. Milla did not have a collar or a tag and was found with a chain around her neck. She also appeared to have been wandering the streets for a while as she was found very skinny and tired. Milla is an extremely sweet little Staffie. She weighs approximately 50 lbs and is between 2 and 3 years old. She absolutely loves people and is completely fine with other dogs (big and small). She loves treats and is very gentle. She knows how to sit on command and listens attentively.  She’s currently in great need of a foster home (or even better a forever home). If you are interested in meeting Milla or can open your home to foster this sweet dog please email Phillip at PhillipG@AnimalAdvocatesAlliance.org.

Raina (previously Buttercup) is a phenomenal four year old tan and white female Staffordshire Terrier who was dumped at the Baldwin Park on December 14th.

Raina was recently rescued by AAA and is now looking for a forever home or a foster home. If you are interested in Raina please contact Lee at LeeG@AnimalAdvocatesAlliance.org or Stephanie at StephanieL@AnimalAdvocatesAlliance.org.
