My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Josephine! This sleek beauty is approximately 5-years-old and weighs 75-lbs. She is a dream, easily one of the nicest dogs we've known. Josie gets along with other dogs and is affectionate and loving. And she's definitely a head turner. Josephine was pulled from the shelter where she was out of time due to severe skin issues and losing weight. She went straight to our vet where she was fully vetted, including bloodwork, biopsy, fine needle aspiration and culture tests. She is also on a hypoallergenic/hydrolyzed diet. Josephine loves playing with balls and never met a ball she didn't like. She enjoys going for walks and rides wonderfully in the car.

Josephine is spayed, up to date on shots, fully vetted, and microchipped. Adoption process includes application, interview, home visit, contract and donation.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Josephine, please go to our website and fill out an application.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Each potential adopter of any animal is required to go through an adoption process that includes an application, contract and interview with one or more of our members. We make sure the potential adopter is aware of the medical, training and social needs of the animal; whether it is a growing puppy or an older animal. If the individual is approved, we will perform a home check to make sure that animal is going to a safe and good environment. The adopter agrees to return the animal to us at any point during their lifetime if they intend to give it up. We are committed to finding these animals great homes and screen our applicants very carefully.

More about this rescue

Thousands of animals are euthanized each year in the Los Angeles City Shelters. This staggering figure does not even include all other surrounding LA County shelters. Most of these animals were highly adoptable and have something in common: they have medical conditions such as broken legs, tumors, eye problems, skin issues or illness. These animals have been hit by cars, abused, or suffered serious neglect, or they are abandoned mothers with litters of unweaned puppies.

These shelter animals face an uncertain future. H.E.L.P assists adopters who are interested in a sick, elderly or injured shelter animal, but are discouraged by the potential high veterinary costs. We also assist individuals who adopt from the shelters and discover that their animal has a medical condition after adoption. We arrange for the animal to receive veterinary care and offer financial assistance to the adopter. If the adopter has already arranged for the animal to receive medical care, we reimburse the costs upon receipt of the veterinary bill and proof of treatment.
