SBCAS is reaching out regarding two Belgian Malinois dogs in urgent need of rescue: Maple (A535407) and Boysenberry (A535787). Both dogs have faced significant challenges, likely living on the streets for an extended period. As a result, they are severely under-socialized and fearful of humans, requiring specialized care and rehabilitation.

About Maple (A535407): Picture 1

Age: 1 year

Intake Date: September 11

About: Maple is extremely fearful, but we’ve seen some progress. She’s food-motivated and will cautiously approach staff for treats, though she still struggles with being touched.

Needs: Continued socialization, trust-building exercises, and gradual exposure to new environments. She would thrive in a patient foster home committed to her rehabilitation.

About Boysenberry(A535787):

Age: 3 years

Intake Date: September 22

About: boysenberry is also fearful but has shown signs of curiosity. She will walk around her kennel and come to the door but remains wary of physical interaction.

Needs: Like Maple, she will benefit from a structured rehabilitation plan, focusing on leash training, handling, and exposure to different surroundings.

Due to limited interaction with humans, they are extremely fearful and will need time, patience, and consistent work to overcome their fear of people. We are seeking a specialized rescue that can provide the time, resources, and rehabilitation plan necessary to help these dogs learn to trust and eventually thrive.

Maple and Boysenberry will need rescue commitment by Monday, September 30th.🚨

If your organization can assist with either Maple or Boysenberry, or both, please contact us [email protected].

My name is Latifah, and I have been at the shelter since July 25, 2024. I am a spayed female English Bulldog with a beautiful brown and white coat. At approximately 5 years old and weighing 45 lbs, I’m the perfect size for cozy cuddles.

I am a calm and gentle companion, making me a great fit for families, including those with children. I enjoy long naps, leisurely walks, and spending time with people. Whether it’s a relaxing car ride or a chicken dinner, I’m always happy to share moments with those I care about.

If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion, please visit me to see if we are a good match. Here’s to hoping my forever home is just around the corner.

I am waiting to meet you at the Santa Maria Shelter. LATIFAH - ID

I’m a young, male English Cocker Spaniel with a beautiful red coat. I was found as a stray on 9/18/2024, and now I’m looking for my owner.

The shelter staff estimate that I’m about 1 year old and I weigh around 17.5 lbs.

Right now, I’m staying at the SBCAS shelter in Lompoc, located at 1501 W Central Ave. I might be available for adoption starting on 09/22/2024. The shelter is open from 10am to 6pm, Tuesday through Sunday. Please share and help me find my family!
