DeeDee (impound # A92434) is a 13 year old owner surrendered pit/bulldog mix. She is a sweet girl who wags and prances happily at the front of the cage if she thinks you will stop and give her attention - which most visitors don't because she is a little worn around the edges and older. She gets overlooked, walked right by - her soulful plea for a little human affection ignored.
Go see her and give her a chance at a warm home to live out the rest of her life.
Lala (impound # A922129) is another beautiful girl at North Central. She's a 3 year old pit who I have befriended over the last month. When she first came into the shelter she was so scared she hid in the back of the cage shaking. I coaxed her out with treats and was able to gently touch her - her fur is amazingly soft. Each time I visited her I was able to touch her more and more and now she sits down so I can scratch her neck and head.
Mary (impound # A918070) is a scared 3 year old who hides in the back of the kennel. There are days when she will come out for a treat but more often she will cower in the back portion of the run - peering out with a worried look on her face. I can only imagine what has made her so scared of people. I do think though that with love and positive attention, Mary will come out of her shell and learn to trust again.
These girls are all at the North Central Shelter: 3201 Lacy Street, Los Angeles, CA 90031
