Some four-legged finds in need …
East Valley Animal Care Center 14409 Vanowen St., Van Nuys, CA 91405, 818-756-9323
Opie
Impound 1074213, Jindo 9 years young, 37 lbs. I’m Opie and was dumped at the shelter because my guardians wanted a puppy instead! After all these years of loving someone and being a loyal companion, I was replaced. I deserve a home where someone will love me forever. The shelter staff loves me and says I’m great with everyone I met and very dog friendly. I’m an active boy, healthy and walk great on a leash. Please come save me.
Katie
Impound 1074881, Pomeranian 6 years, 12 lbs. I’m Katie and have been crying so I didn’t take the best picture. The shelter says I’m the most beautiful girl around. I was found alone, wandering the streets. I’m a little shy at first but warm up quickly and in no time will jump in your lap. I’m great with dogs and cats, excellent on a leash and love to be pampered. Please come get me. I will love you forever.
Fish
Impound 1072433, Orange Tabby 2 years, 10 lbs. I’m Fish and came to the shelter as a stray. I’m a handsome fella with beautiful big green eyes. I love other cats and am extremely playful. I like to crawl under things and grab your feet. The dogs that pass by spark my interest so the staff thinks I’d be great with dogs too. I’m a shelter favorite!
Bugsy
Impound 1073433, Rabbit 10 months, 2 lbs. My name is Bugsy and I was a stray. The shelter says I’m very handsome and incredibly sweet. I’m also litter box trained so I’d make an easy companion. I like the lady rabbits best, do you blame me? Please come adopt me. I would make the best forever friend.
More great treasures…

Luciano
Impound 1058851, Poodle 1 year, 15 lbs. I’m Luciano and was dumped by my guardians because they didn’t have time for me. I’m not letting that get me down. I’m handsome, sweet, great with dogs and even kids. Heck, I love everyone I meet! I’m quite the charmer I’m told. Please come and adopt me. I have a lot of love to give and am in need of someone to love me forever.
Mr. Fluff
Impound 1074203, Lynx Point Himalayan Mix 6 years young, 10 lbs. I’m Mr. Fluff and came to the shelter as a stray. I’m STUNNING and the ladies love me. I love other cats and am a sucker for hugs. Just put me in your arms and I am the happiest cat around. I will melt your heart if you come see me. Please pick me!
Patches
Impound 1073688, Rabbit 6 months, 4 lbs. I’m Patches, a very handsome bunny. I was purchased at a pet store and then dumped at the shelter so I haven’t had a chance to find real love. I’m super friendly, love everyone I meet and especially love to be in your arms. I’m a tiny guy with a very big heart. Please adopt me!
