My story

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

Buddy here!
Age: 10 years young
Neutered and vaccinated.
Good on a leash
Love to walk.
(New foster needed)
Buddy was found as a stray April 23, 2023, in South Gate, Ca. under neglected conditions. His coat was completely matted and was full of feces and urine. His nails were so long and bloody that he was no longer able to walk properly because of the pain. When Buddy was found he was terrified of people. No one could get near him because he would react. It's been over a year since Buddy was found and sheltered. Sadly no one claimed him. He was recently assessed by a professional trainer and Buddy showed potential to be adopted by an understanding family willing to have patience for him. Buddy is looking for a low traffic home, preferably no kids. Buddy can be a bit scared at first, but he is all in once he opens up! He absolutely loves walks and to run at the park. #adoptaseniorpet Please consider adopting a senior dog. Buddy deserves to know what it is like to have a loving and caring family! Buddy hopes to meet you soon!

More about this rescue

Karina Macias always loved pets, but after witnessing a tragic accident where a careless driver hit a dog and let him die on the street, she decided to take action helping vulnerable animals and got involved in a local rescue.

She helped transporting, fostering, and donating money to save animals from shelters or from owners who for different reasons were unable to care for their pets. Over the years, her passion intensified and with little resources decided to start in 2017 her own independent rescue.

Karina’s goal is to focus in helping the most unfortunate, less desirable dogs due to their old age, blindness, or other qualities that make them not wanted or less attractive for adoption. She dreams of having a sanctuary where pets can live their last days with dignity and love. She is aware that many organizations are working hard to rescue pets and place them in a good family, but there is a great need to find people who have great compassion for dogs who are old, mixed breed, very sick or handicapped. These are the harder to give in adoption, Karina states. Most people look for the nice, fluffy dogs or puppies. The ones left behind are the less adoptable usually being euthanized.

“It breaks my heart when a dog is not wanted. I don’t have children at this moment, but I believe happiness is being a wonderful fur mom. It means giving love, attention, and caring for the voiceless ‘Unconditionally,'” Karina proudly said.

Her regular job is working with children. She feels attracted to take care of kids who are also innocent and vulnerable and are in need of lots of affection. Her heart is big enough to love animals and humans alike. She also enjoys reading and practicing martial arts.

Donations will someday help her build her dream sanctuary or afford to rent and open a local rescue. Sometimes it’s very hard for her rescue to have enough funds to buy food and other needs for the dogs/cats while waiting for a good adoptive parent. Karina is asking for your help to save furry angels that can make a difference in the lives of people in distress, war veterans, children, etc. We want to thank you in advance for your generous donation.
