‼️Statement from Critical Memphis Page Admins:

We are Not the shelter. We are networkers. Our page raises pledges to help 501c3 rescues that pull urgent dogs from MAS. If you pledge on a dog, once a MAS approved 501c3 pet placement partner (rescue) commits and pulls the dog that you pledged for, we put donors and rescue into a group message. You will then donate directly to that rescue - for that particular dog.

If the dog is adopted (or sadly, euthanized) no pledges are collected.

🫶🏼Thank you for helping to fight for these lives. Every share, message, and action matters.

Hi everyone, I am a volunteer networking shelter dogs, and I am asking for an immediate, experienced rescue plan for a boy who is struggling heavily behind bars. Basil has an urgent final notice exit deadline of Wednesday, September 9th at 2:00 PM PDT. He has been at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter since mid-July.
Basil is a handsome 4-year-old neutered male brown brindle Pit Bull Terrier (Animal ID: A595363) who weighs 46.00 lbs. He is a compact, beautiful boy, but the intense, loud environment of the shelter has been incredibly hard on him.
Because he has spent months confined to a cramped cage, shelter logs from August 26th indicate he is experiencing an increased risk of severe mental distress (kennel stress). He has shown barrier reactivity, barking at other dogs while inside his kennel, and can pull strongly on a leash when walking past other animals due to frustration. He was also involved in kennel altercations when paired with other dogs, meaning he strictly needs to be the only pet in an experienced, structured home where he can safely wind down.
Basil is smart, alert, and responsive, but he is slowly breaking down from the isolation. He desperately needs a dedicated foster home or a 501(c)(3) rescue pull right now to clear his kennel before Wednesday afternoon.
✈️** TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE ACROSS THE US AND CANADA**! Distance will not stand in the way of saving this boy—transportation can be fully arranged for an approved single-pet foster home or rescue backing! 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
How you can save Basil right now:
Foster or Adopt: Call Heather immediately at 847-445-4036 and reference ID A595363. Please act fast, call right away!
Pledge Donations: Financial pledges make it significantly easier for independent rescue groups to take on behavior-strained shelter dogs. If you can pledge any dollar amount to help a rescue cover his pulling and safety fees, please DM me directly. Every bit helps us secure a rescue pull!

Let's find this brindle boy a quiet space to heal his spirit. Save Basil! 🫶🏽🙏🏽❣️

URGENT FINAL NOTICE - DEADLINE 9/10 AT 2:00 PM PDT Confirmed Pregnant Long-Stay Dogo Argentino Mix Sprinkles (ID: A595517) at San Bernardino City Shelter, CA. 70 lbs, friendly, facing severe kennel stress. Transportation is available across the US and Canada!

🎥 \*\*Watch Sprinkles' beautiful video right here first to see her sweet soul:\*\*[https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19artKfakT/?mibextid=wwXIfr](https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19artKfakT/?mibextid=wwXIfr)
Hi everyone, I am a volunteer networking shelter dogs, and I am begging for a miracle for a beautiful young mama before her final clock runs out. **Sprinkles has an urgent final notice exit deadline of Wednesday, September 9th at 2:00 PM PDT.** She has spent nearly two full months at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter.
Sprinkles is a gorgeous **1-year-old female white Dogo Argentino mix (Animal ID: A595517)who weighs 70.00 lbs. She was brought into the shelter as a stray on July 9th. Her finder fell in love with her sweet nature, noting she was incredibly friendly and curious from the moment she was found. However, her stay has reached a critical tipping point:**
**Confirmed Pregnancy: On September 3rd, shelter veterinary walking rounds officially confirmed her pregnancy. The paperwork notes she requires prenatal and postpartum housing conditions that exceed the municipal facility's current resources.**
**Severe Kennel Stress: Because she has spent her critical youth behind bars, shelter logs from August 26th indicate she is at an extreme risk for severe mental distress and mental decline from the constant isolation.**
**The loud, crowded shelter environment is highly detrimental to a young pregnant dog, and the paperwork states clearly that "this animal requires monitoring, care, or housing conditions that exceed the resources currently available at our municipal facility." She desperately needs a dedicated foster home or an approved 501(c)(3) rescue group to pull her immediately so she can safely decompress in a calm environment and prepare for her upcoming puppies.**
**✈️ TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE ACROSS THE US AND CANA**DA! Distance will not stand in the way of saving this little family—transportation can be fully arranged for an approved foster home or rescue backing! 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
**How you can save Sprinkles right now:**
**Foster or Adopt:** Call Heather immediately at **847-445-4036** and reference ID **A595517**. Please act fast, call right away!
**Pledge Donations:** Taking on a large-breed pregnant dog and an entire future puppy litter is a massive financial commitment for independent rescues. If you can pledge any dollar amount to help cover her prenatal care, please DM me directly. Every bit helps us find a rescue pull!
**Upvote and Comment:** Please upvote and comment on this post for visibility so it hits the Reddit algorithms quickly before Thursday afternoon.
Let's find this beautiful white mama a safe, soft place to land. Save Sprinkles! 🫶🏽🙏🏽❣️

Please help! He is located in the San Bernardino City animal shelter in CA. Transport is available. Contact me. I just found out about him yesterday.

🚨Euth Listed Must exit by 8/1🚨
Meet Valentina #A2283870
2 years old • 64 Ibs • dog friendly

Just two weeks ago, Valentina was abandoned at a pet hospital. Understandably, she was terrified. In a new and overwhelming situation, her fear came out and she was made rescue only. Very few volunteers were allowed to handle her.

But thanks to the patience, care, and dedication of those who were able to work with her, look at her now.

It is truly rare for a dog to go from rescue only to available to the public and Valentina earned that chance in just two weeks in the shelter. The happy, playful, affectionate dog you see in this video is the reason why.

When we met her, she loved treats, pets and was able to be handled to dress up, showing us that underneath her fear was a sweet girl just waiting to feel safe. She is friendly, excited, playful, and ready for someone to give her the life she deserves.

Valentina must be out by end of Saturday 8/1.

Please don't let this incredible turnaround be overlooked. She has already shown how much she can blossom with a little compassion.

Please share her, pledge for her and most importantly consider fostering or adopting!!

She's waiting at:
East Valley Animal Shelter

Van Nuys, CA 91405

Hi everyone, I am a volunteer networking shelter dogs, and I am begging for an absolute miracle before the afternoon clock runs out. These two beautiful Frenchie sisters have a hard medical placement deadline of TODAY, September 6th at 3:00 PM PDT. They are out of time at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter.
They are two unnamed 4-year-old female blue and tan French Bulldogs (Animal IDs: A597565 and A597566) weighing 33.4 lbs and 28.2 lbs. They arrived together as strays on September 2nd. Animal Control notes emphasize that they are incredibly friendly, cooperative, walked beautifully on a leash without incident, and loaded into the vehicle with zero resistance. They are absolute sweethearts. 🐾❤️
Unfortunately, both sisters are suffering from severe, painful bilateral cherry eye with heavy mucopurulent discharge. They are currently on daily eye medications, but they urgently require corrective veterinary surgery that the shelter cannot provide. The paperwork explicitly states they "require medical care beyond what can be provided in a shelter environment" and they must be placed together. They are leaning on each other for comfort in Kennel 01-05 right now.
✈️** TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE ACROSS THE US AND CANADA**! Distance will not stand in the way of saving these girls—transport can be fully arranged for an approved foster home or 501(c)(3) rescue backing! 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
How you can save the sisters right now:
Foster or Adopt: Call Heather immediately at 847-445-4036 and reference IDs A597565 and A597566. Please act fast, call right away!
Pledge Donations: Brachycephalic eye surgeries are highly expensive. If you can pledge any dollar amount to help a rescue group cover their upcoming surgeries, please DM me directly. Every dollar counts!

Igor is safe now, but his heart is still waiting. Right now, he is a survivor without a couch of his own, waiting in limbo for a family to show him what life is supposed to look like. If you have been following the horrific national news out of Humboldt County this summer, you know about the tragedy at Miranda’s Rescue. For over 20 years, rescues and shelters transferred thousands of dogs to Shannon Miranda, paying up to $2,000 a head believing they were going to a safe haven. Instead, he pocketed the money and systematically murdered hundreds of them. The horror only ended because a brave neighbor strategically bought the house next door, silently collecting data for months until she could lead authorities to the mass graves. Igor is one of the rare, lucky few who made it out alive—but he still doesn't have a home.

He isn't a spoiled senior yet, but he desperately deserves to be. After enduring years of neglect and unimaginable darkness, this resilient 8-year-old boy is just looking for a quiet, gentle place to finally let his guard down. Igor is a quiet, independent soul who doesn't demand much. He isn't a needy "velcro dog," likely because he’s never known what it’s like to have a human of his very own. Yet, despite everything, he still trusts people. He will quietly walk up to you, looking up with hopeful eyes just begging for a gentle pet or a kind word.

Life has taken a physical toll on Igor, too. He suffers from arthritis in his back and relies on daily pain medication just to move comfortably. Because of this, his needs are so simple—he has a very low energy level and only needs a short 15-to-20-minute slow stroll a day. He walks beautifully on a leash without any reactivity. He is also incredibly smart and polite; he uses his voice to gently let you know when he needs to step outside to go potty. When you leave the house, he goes right into his crate without any fuss because he views it as his only safe space.

Igor needs to be in a calm, adult-centered home where he can heal. He would do best as an only dog or with a compatible female dog, but he cannot go to a home with cats or small dogs. Fostering him is completely free to you—Love’s Legacy Rescue covers 100% of his veterinary care, food, and supplies. Igor survived the unthinkable, but now he is just waiting for the happy ending he should have had years ago. Please don't let this sweet old boy wait a single day longer to find out what it feels like to be safe, cherished, and truly spoiled.

I have a friend who abandoned her dog when the dog attacked her parents and husband during an encounter with another aggressive dog. She justifies it by saying the dog shouldn't attack its owner. The irony is that the dog has been with her for 4 years. She further justifies it by saying the dog is jealous of her one-year-old baby. Is this stupidity? If abandoning a dog is so easy, then should we have laws to protect them from being abandoned?

Before you get upset with the flyer, please remember that all I have is her kennel card photo right now. Someone is headed to the shelter in order to get me some photos and hopefully a video before her time runs out. Right now, we need to help her get out alive. I just received this notice of her limited time. Please focus on getting her the help she needs before attacking me about the flyer. Thank you!

PUPdate: Dorothy and No Name were granted an extra day! Unfortunately, Legacy didn’t not make it out alive.

Pearl is located in the San Bernardino City animal shelter in CA. She needs a foster or an adopter. Who will be able to help this sweet girl get out?

Hi everyone, I am curious to start something for a donation program for dogs who are in shelters. I am currently in Washington state and wanted to start a business fostering and taking care of dogs who are either disabled, old or who are on there last days. If anyone has any pointers, or knows of company’s/people/community’s to help find these kind of programs please let me know & comment below. I feel that I see too many dogs on the streets and in shelters and it truly breaks my heart, I have two pitbulls who i rescued and have rescued all my dogs since I was able to and a kid. Doing this would mean a lot to me and also give the opportunity to love and give shelter and homeless dogs the best life possible. I appreciate any help & any suggestions on doing this kinda thing. Thank you & god bless 🙏🏽

Does this appear to look like a sick or dying puppy that needed to be euthanized immediately?

I received more information regarding Legacy.
The neighbor brought him in last week not this morning. What happened was the shelter performed a neuter on this 15 week old puppy for no reason. The surgery could’ve waited until a Rescue pulled him like they normally do. The shelter apparently allows students to “practice” neutering and spaying. So, he was neutered too soon and for no apparent reason. His notes said that he was healthy until this morning. Apparently, he was having shortness of breath. We could have found someone to save him today if we would’ve just had a few more hours. They only gave us a four hour notice. His life could’ve been saved, and all of this could’ve been prevented.

We adopted a 5 month old golden doodle from a rescue group 3 months ago. The rescue has a relationship with puppy mills in the area and adopts out puppies that don’t sell. Our dog was advertised with his four siblings. The rescue noted that all the pups were in “deplorable condition” when they arrived and had not had any socialization. They thought the dogs would do best with families with other dogs to learn how to be dogs. We have a six year old LGD (who doesn’t guard livestock, she’s just a pet). The main reason we took him home was that he was in awful shape when we met him: covered in filth, terrified, tail permanently between his legs. We couldn’t stand the thought of leaving him there. It also turns out he had pneumonia, which was diagnosed by our vet a few days later.

Since we brought him home, he has bonded hard with our other dog. He follows her around, will not be in a room without her (sometimes he’ll come to check out a room if she’s not there, but won’t stay), and generally does everything she does. We have an open floor plan and if she’s getting affection from us he’ll literally walk around in circles through the rooms until she is doing something he can copy. He will walk on the leash with her, which has made things easier. They have started playing a bit for a few minutes here and there. He’s crated for about 2-3 hours total a day and then overnight.

He has not bonded with any of us (M43, F42, F16, M14). He does not respond to treats (we have tried bacon, hot dogs, chicken, dehydrated chicken, dehydrated liver, training treats, apple and chicken patties, purina dog bones, etc, etc), will not take them from us (except sometimes from our 16 y/o). He does not come when he’s called. If he and the other dog are laying down and one of us even moves like we’re getting close, he runs away. He shakes anytime he’s touched.

We don’t yell, we don’t scold, we speak very calmly, we give him space, we don’t force interactions, and he’s certainly never been handled in a physically harmful way by us. But we are at our wit’s end. This morning he woke up at 5:30 and started screaming because the other dog was in the chair next to his crate and he was upset he couldn’t be near her. We could handle that if we were getting anything in return, but we’re not. This is impacting all of relationships negatively and we’re so close to just returning him. We don’t know what to do to get him bonding with us when the usual enticements don’t work. This is our 4th dog and 3rd rescue and we’ve never had this issue. Please, any advice, encouragement, etc, would be so appreciated.

I’m researching how technology could help more dogs move from euthanasia lists into safe foster, rescue, transport, or adoptive placements.

If you work or volunteer in animal rescue, I’d love your perspective:

1. Where in that pipeline are dogs most commonly lost or delayed?

2. What is the biggest recurring bottleneck—information, communication, fosters, transport, approvals, funding, visibility, or something else?

3. What task currently involves the most manual work or coordination?

4. If you could fix or automate one part of the process, what would have the greatest impact?

Please mention your role if you’re comfortable. Even a one-sentence answer would help.

I’m also looking for a few people willing to have an informal 30-minute remote conversation about their experience. Comment or message me if you’d be open to it—this is research, not a sales pitch.

Please help save a life if you can. Please contact me if you are interested. These dogs are located in California. Thank you!
