They named him Zeus at the shelter at Long Beach Animal Care Services. This is doubtless because, despite former neglect and sadness, he’s always the Emperor of Everything in his interactions with staff, volunteers and other dogs. He hasn’t met a soul that he hasn’t loved! Zeus is a 2-year-old boxer/mastiff mix whose former owners gave him far from royal treatment. Zeus was picked up by animal control when someone reported the severe neglect that he and his sister were under. Sadly, the poor sister had died before she could be rescued, too. Zeus, though, stays master of his realm despite his former horrendous treatment. “He always has something to smile about,” one volunteer said. If someone can give Zeus his own forever heaven-on-earth, he’ll never stop smiling! The shelter’s way over capacity with dogs, so speed the process to adopt Zeus or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov. You can also call (562) 570-4925. Our shelter hours are Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 7700 E.

Orange cats are special, and sometimes, they’re actual comedians! That’s Phillip, to a T. Phillip enjoys pulling faces at you to get your attention, and as soon as he gets it, he’s up to his tricks. Volunteer Janet said that Phillip’s a love and a half, but every time he suggests lap time to her, he tries to sneak past her lap to get to the floor. That’s pretty smart for 6 months old! Why not take silly Phil home to see how much smarter he’ll be in six more months? He’ll probably be ordering anchovy pizza and helping your fourth-grader with math homework by then. To adopt or foster Phillip, email PetAdopt@longbeach.gov to speed the process, or call (562) 570-7387. Better yet, pay a personal visit to our shelter, 7700 E. Spring St., Long Beach (at entrance to El Dorado Park, no parking fee for shelter guests). Ask for ID#A757736.

Here’s Brindabella, basking in the blooming blossoms of spring and wondering where her prince, princess or any forever-loving human is. She’s been at Long Beach Animal Care Services since August last year, a very long time for a big, active breed to be cooped up in a kennel for most of the day. Brindabella is a year-old Siberian husky — an odd-eyed girl who loves the outdoors. Her favorite spot at the shelter is the park bench, where she’ll take over most of the seating space. She’s a leaner, too, and you’d better be seated when she does that, because she’s a big girl! You also need to know the husky breed and their quirks and strengths if you want to adopt or foster Brindabella. If you do, come meet her and take her to the ball—or better yet, toss her one! Speed the process to adopt or foster Brindabella or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov. You can also call (562) 570-4925. Our shelter hours are Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 7700 E.

Onyx is 7 years old and has spent over a year in a kennel at Long Beach Animal Care Services. He’s what the shelter staff and volunteers call a longtime legend, and no one can figure out why he hasn’t been adopted yet. Onyx was (and is) a shelter favorite. He’s young at heart, playful and affectionate. He’s also a survivor. During his shelter stay, his leg swelled up and he couldn’t use it. He was diagnosed with cancer in that leg, and his survival depended on amputation, which Friends of Long Beach Animals helped pay for. The operation did not slow Onyx down one bit! He’s enjoying himself in a foster home right now, and the family adores him. Onyx has become quite used to being a house dog, and he’d like to make the situation permanent. Want to make his golden years shine?
