grooming so that I’ll be looking my best.
Believing that the natural look is best, I

“Hello. They call me Hallie and I was
dumped at an LA County shelter along
with my sisters, Gabrielle and Fern.
One minute we were looking forward to
spending a holiday, our very first 4th
of July, with our owners. Then the next
moment, they just left us. No explanation
for why they no longer wanted us. Seriously,
what could a 5-month-old, 8-pound baby
girl possibly do that was bad enough for
them to stop loving me? I know the middle
child is the one with issues, but I’m not
old enough to even know what an issue
is! I’ve been told that I’m a real cutie
pie – or that I will be once I get something
called a makeover. I have a natural, plumey
tail, natural ears and the most expressive
eyes that I know will win you over. My
sister, Fern, keeps trying to assure me and
Gabrielle that everything is going to be
We are looking for volunteers to help with

you can’t adopt just one.
“Hi, my name is Gabrielle and I have
to admit I’m a bit overwhelmed and
confused. First of all I’m only 5 months
old and the baby of the three, so I’m
totally lacking in life experiences. My
sisters, Hallie and Fern, and I heard tales
about a holiday called the 4th of July and
were looking forward, although somewhat
apprehensively, to spending the day with
our owners. The next thing we knew we
were dumped at an LA County shelter the
week before July 4 without any explanation.
How could they just leave us there and
never look back? At least we weren’t there
very long because these nice MSFR people
rescued all three of us and they want to
help us find better homes than the one
we had. Like my sisters, I’m just a bit of
gal -- currently just about 8 pounds, but I
should be about 15-20 pounds when fully
better than ever once we find our forever
homes. I sure hope mine comes with a
loving family and a dog to keep me company
since I’ve never been without my sisters.
Even though I’m too young to know much
about life, I definitely know that I don’t
ever want to feel unloved and just disposed
of again.”

“Hi there, I’m Fern. By now I’m certain
you’ve, met my sisters Gabrielle and Hallie.
I’m the oldest of the trio who were discarded
by our owners and given to an LA County
shelter the week before the 4th of July holiday.
I’ve been trying to keep everyone’s spirits
up by telling my sisters that everything is
going to be okay, but I’m not certain I’m
very convincing. When at only 5 months old
and my first life lesson is this huge rejection,
it makes me a bit cautious. I am extremely
grateful to the folks at MSFR for rescuing
all of us and helping me find a family that
will love me and appreciate everything I can
bring to their family. Since I’m still a pup,
I only weigh 8 pounds…but when I’m fully
grown, I’ll weigh more like 15-20 pounds. I
will be the perfect size to share your lap or
accompany you on our adventures. I obviously
get along with other dogs since I’ve
always had my sisters to keep me company.
So if you already have a dog, I’d love to
be its playmate. Everyone keeps telling me
that I’m going to be stunning once I have
my makeover and my coat is all clean and
shiny. I have a natural tail, which I call my
‘happy meter,’ that shows my enthusiasm
when I get excited. I also have natural ears,
soulful eyes and a personality that will melt
your heart.”

Congratulations to Gianna and her new family!
Congratulations to our tiny gal Gianna
and her new family. Gianna was a real mess
when she was rescued a few months ago. She
was underweight, skittish, scared, distrustful
and wearing dreadlocks. It’s amazing what
some TLC can do to heal the spirit. She
is now the most loving, affectionate little
shadow a family could wish for. Her folks,
who had just lost one of their dogs to cancer,
decided that their 7-year-old Malti-Poo was
heartbreakingly lonely and needed a sibling.
They met Gianna at our pet adoptions a
few weeks ago and the rest is history. She
is now residing in PV with her new mom,
dad and doggie sister having the time of
her life. Wishing everyone many wonderful
adventures and joy. •
Saving one animal
won’t change the world,
but the world
will surely change
for that animal.
If you see a dog with a YELLOW RIBBON
or something yellow on the leash, this is a
dog who needs some space. Please do
not approach this dog with your dog. Please
maintain distance or give this dog and his/her
person time to move out of your way.
There are many reasons why
a dog may need space:
HEALTH ISSUES
IN TRAINING
BEING REHABILITATED
SCARED OR REACTIVE AROUND OTHER DOGS
Those of us who own these dogs
appreciate your help and respect!
