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.

Jill, together with her brother Jack, were rescued outside of the Baldwin Park shelter on February 20th. Their owner was about to surrender them to the shelter when AAA volunteers stepped in and agreed to save these amazing pups from seeing the inside of a high kill shelter. Jack and Jill have visited the vet and have received their vaccines together with a clean bill of health. Jill is a 2 month old mix breed puppy that will grow up to be a medium sized dog. She is very sweet and playful and just loves her brother. Jill will have to be spayed within the next couple of months and that will be a condition to any adoption.

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. Anyone interested in adopting me will also need to complete and submit the following: ONLINE APPLICATION
