Paisley is a good, good girl! She recently took a Fido Field Trip with shelter volunteer Patti, and she was a model passenger once Patti helped her get her rear end into the car. But Paisley’s no lazybones (hey, did someone say “Bones”?)—the field trip included a trip to the Zoom Room where she played like a puppy, and she sure loved the double-double Puppy Patty that Patti (no pun intended, and no bun with the patty) got for her. Paisley loves her walks and has been taking off a few pounds to remain fit. She’d love to run after a squirrel, too, so her human must be mindful! Paisley is 3 years old and has been at the shelter for about 10 months, and today is Friday the 13^th. How about throwing some good luck her way?

Whoever took this photo of Ranger captured him perfectly. What a loveable goofball! Ranger is an adorable year-old German shepherd/houn’ dog mix with semaphore ears. He’s been at the shelter since August. He was very shy when he came to Long Beach Animal Care Services, but he’s made up for lost time! Ranger has a ton of friends at the shelter, both human and canine—his favorite thing to do when he’s out for playtime is dog-paddle in the play yard pool. But when the volunteers and staff go home, he has to go back into the kennel and spend the night alone. Ranger should not be the Lone Ranger. Can you be his forever buddy? Long Beach Animal Care Services is over capacity with dogs, so speed the process to adopt or foster Ranger or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov. You can also call (562) 570-4925. 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.

Tux, true to his name, has not removed his New Year’s Eve glad rags, even down to his white gloves and spats! Tux is hoping that he still has a chance to celebrate the new year in a home with a human or a family of his very own. The volunteers love him and say that he’s a great dog. He’s just had his neuter and is learning his leash manners quite well! Tux is only 8 months old, so he has lots of new years ahead of him. Can you make them happy ones? The shelter’s way over capacity with dogs, so speed the process to adopt or foster Tux 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.

“I’ll have a blooooo-oo Christmas without you …” Sandy, a cane corso—or more accurately, a canine chorus-o, has added lots of tunes to her repertoire in the five years of her life. They’re not all Christmas carols, either. She can Crow like Cheryl on “Make It Go Away,” which reflects the pain she felt after being hit by a car and suffered subsequent mobility issues. Thanks to Long Beach Animal Care Services’ medical staff and her own resilience, Sandy showed signs of recovery within a day! She puts as much feeling as Roy Orbison did into “Crying” after the shelter staff contacted her owners through her microchip and the owners said that they didn’t want Sandy anymore. Sandy’s tired of sad songs, and wants to learn a new one. Want to teach her “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and make it come true for her? Speed the process to adopt or foster Sandy or any of our other pets by emailing petadopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov. You can also call (562) 570-4925. Best yet, meet all the pets 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.
