Jaycee

Jaycee is a one big barrel of fun! How such a funloving, adorable young pup ended up in a city pound is beyond comprehension. He is smart as can be. He is learning to sit and walk on a leash. Really anything that is rewarded with playtime or treats he will gladly do with gusto! Jaycee loves humans and other dogs and will just play and play all day with them!
Jaycee is a Jack Russell Terrier mix. He was born in January of 2006.

Mugsy | Glendale Shelter

Mugsy is a fun-loving guy rescued from the Baldwin Park shelter. He has a cute little underbite and an outgoing, happy-go-lucky personality. Loves to play and share his toys with you. Mugsy is good with other dogs, but is not a candidate for a home with cats. He is 4-5 years old and 15-20 lbs.

Willow | Glendale Shelter

WILLOW - Female, Terrier mixAdopted
Willow was rescued from the Lancaster shelter in early February. As we approached her kennel, she began to give birth to the first of eleven puppies! As soon as they could be moved, we transported them down to a local foster home. Willow is sweet, affectionate, super-playful, and seems to like everyone she meets. Practically a puppy herself, Willow has been a good-natured and patient mama. Now that her work is done, she is ready for a home of her own. Willow would be a wonderful addition to an active household. She is great with other dogs and would probably be fine with cats. Willow is 1-2 years old and about 40 lbs.

Snoop Doggy Dogg in Glendale

Snoop is a compact guy recently rescued from the Baldwin Park shelter. We think he looks like a miniature version of a yellow Lab. He is an easy-going fellow who gets along well with other dogs, seems fine around kitties, and seems to like everyone. Snoop is 1-2 years old and 25 lbs.

Meet Windsor at the Glendale Humane Society

WINDSOR - Male, Terrier mixAvailable: NOW
Windsor is an adorable low-rider rescued from the Baldwin Park shelter. This silly boy loves to flatten out on the grass and crawl on his belly - just like in this photo. Windsor is playful, good with other dogs, and would be a fun companion for an active household. He is one year-old and 25-30 lbs.

Oscar | Looking for Love

Oscar was in a home since 1996 until he was brought to HUA in September of 2005.
His person loved him deeply, but eventually was not able to exercise him properly. Perhaps in an attempt to make up for this, his person gave him too many treats and did not adjust his diet. He is obviously extremely over weight. We think, in a sad way, this demonstrates how much his person loved him.

Initially, Oscar was very sad over the loss of his home. But he has adjusted to his new temporary life at HUA. He seems to look for the good in life. He’s become an outgoing, friendly fellow who loves people and other dogs.

Beagles are prone to weight gain and are not for every household. They need regular exercise. They are scent hounds and should never be off a leash unless confined in a fenced yard.
Oscar needs a home where he will be pampered with love and affection, but worked. He needs to be walked, at a pace and distance he can handle. He needs to loose weight gradually. Your veterinarian will help determine an action plan.

Oscar is just a great dog, waiting to be turned into an even greater, happier, healthier dog. He deserves another loving home! A special home.

Oscar has been neutered is current on health care.

Princess

Princess is an adorable, loving little terrier girl. She came from a home where the people loved her very much but they did not have time for her. She loves people dearly and is a sensitive little girl. She was devastated to come to the shelter. She loves to lay on her back in a persons arms and have her tummy and chest rubbed. She is the prettiest, sweetest little girl in the world!! She is so devoted. She attaches herself to her people with total adoration. She is one smart cookie. She thinks she is the police with other dogs. If they are doing something not likely appreciated by the humans she will be the first to tell on them, nudge them with her nose, squeal around about the illegal activity going on. Otherwise, she does fine with other dogs at the shelter. She is good with house manners and could learn just about anything a person wants to teach her. She is a grand little dog.
Princess is a female terrier. She was born in June of 2004 and weighs 15 pounds.

Cookie

Cookie lived at a daycare center where he was terrorized by young children. He did not care for the constant attention of children who were not careful with him. When he came to the shelter he was very afraid and let people know that he did not want to be touched. After just a few days in the more quiet environment of the dog shelter, where people speak to him nicely and treat him gently, he has become a different dog. He is so grateful for a nice quiet place where people care how he feels, and what he wants. He adores the people now and is happy and friendly. Cookie will be a great dog for a quiet home. He loves to sit with the people and be petted. He looks longingly into our eyes and loves laying on warm, soft blankets and having his head gently stroked. He also likes to play now too.
Cookie is a male terrier mix. He was born in January of 2003 and weighs 22 pounds.

Mayella

Mayella is such a great girl!! She is so amusing, just full of pure Dachshund charm. She gave birth to 3 beautiful pups at Christmas time.

She's not letting that slow her down though. She loves to investigate things in her foster home and get attention from the people when she's not tending to her child care duties. She is a great mom and a very fun girl! She will adore having a home of her very own with people to love and entertain with her silly ways.
Mayella is a red smooth female Dachshund. She was born 9/12/04. She will be ready for adoption once her pups are weaned and ok to be on their own in the world.

Rooooooney!

ROONEY - Male, Corgi mixAvailable: NOW
Rooney was rescued from the isolation area of Baldwin Park shelter. This poor boy had been riding unrestrained in the back of a pick-up truck and jumped out while the truck was moving!

Famous Amos

Amos has had some hard luck, but he's not letting it get him down. He was left at a city pound in O'Neill, Nebraska after being given up by his people because they didn't have time for him.

The people there adored Amos, but he just wasn't getting adopted. So they contacted beagle rescue, who in turn contacted us. Amos loves his big play yard and his doggie roommates here at HUA.

He adores the people who care for him and especially loves his trips to the big community play yards where there are all kinds of fun things for a diligent beagle boy to sniff out!! Amos is welcome to stay here for however long it takes to find him the perfect home. At HUA there are no time limits on making a good match, our residents have nothing to fear.

They know that the best is yet to come! Amos is playful, loving, just a peach of a young fellow. He has good house manners. We nick named him 'Famous Amos' because he loves cookies. He will be a devoted, adoring lifelong friend.

Amos is a male beagle. He weighs approximately 30 pounds and was estimated in November of 2006 to be between one and two years of age.

Mighty Brutus

Brutus is an adorable little character. He was saved from an Oklahoma puppy mill. He is still a little shy at times but over all he is a very happy boy who likes to be the center of attention. He has a great loving personality. His coat is a long gorgeous chocolate color.
Brutus is a 3 year old Chihuahua. He weighs 11 pounds.

India didn't have a Valentine

INDIA - Female, Maltese-Poodle mixAvailable: NOW
India is a petite dog brought in by her owner. He could no longer care for her and truth be told, she was in deplorable condition. Her coat was so matted she needed to be shaved down. She is sweet and loving with those she knows and trusts, but is too delicate for a home with small children. India is 2-3 years old and under 10 lbs.

New Wheels | Not for the faint of heart

Telly was given to an HUA volunteer in a cardboard box that was covered in blood, skin and dirt. He was wrapped in a poop encrusted blanket. He has been paralyzed for six months. His back legs are completely atrophied. He was never given an x-ray or proper medical care. The HUA volunteer asked our vet why his stomach was so enlarged when he appeared to be emaciated. The answer was that his bladder probably had not been emptied fully for the entire six months. The smell of blood and infection in the urine was so overwhelming it almost made people faint. His skin is peeling off by the bucket loads.

Phillipe is Afraid

Phillippe is afraid. His world has been turned upside down. His family decided they did not have time for him anymore. He was left in the yard with a Rottweiler. He was not groomed or taken to the vet. You can see in his eyes that he is scared in spite of his big brave Chihuahua front. Phillippe has a big heart. It will be great for him to finally find a person worthy of his love and devotion, who will care for him always.Phillippe is was born 03/08/04. He is a male Chihuahua who weighs 9 pounds. He has the most unique, gorgeous coloring.
