Malibu Adoptions Can Save These Lives

Consider opening your home to Trinket and Josh.

Trinket

Is she a stuffed toy? Or is she a real, living,breathing, tail-wagging pooch?  Well, if you pass Trinket's kennel quickly, you might very well think the former is the case. 

Trinket is so adorable with an expression of surprise always present on her face. She's got coal black eyes and a nose to match, plus ears that stick straight up.  While her physical presence may seem like that of a toy, Trinket's got loads of personality as well. She's a verifiably divine canine with the sweetest nature imaginable. 

Sadly, Trinket met up with some misfortune a couple of weeks back. Probably in the form of a car. She came in with her leg dangling and the x-ray showed a severely displaced femur which translates to surgery. Such a calamity for a 10-month old, 18 pound puppy.

Trinket is a favorite of medical staff who appreciate her joyful nature, despite what she has been through. Hopefully, this chapter in the life of our girl will end soon and she will be healed, healthy and happy for years to come. If you are interested in Trinket, please let me know. Her ID Adoption number is A1372256. 

Josh

Take one look at this handsome boy and you will fall instantly under his spell.  Josh is absolutely noble in appearance with his flowing golden coat and soulful brown eyes. The black button nose adds a splash of humor to that gorgeous face. 

This 1-year old, 47-pound hunk was not exactly pleased when he found himself in the shelter. Alone without another dog pal, away from whoever his people were, he was fearful. 

Yet, as with so many dogs that are impounded, he quickly shed any negative behavior once he was out of the kennel and on a leash. You should see him walk, head held high, with an even gait, calm and stately. Better than his elegant manner is his tender nature. 

Josh bonds quickly and, at our mobile adoption event this past weekend in Studio City, was devoted to his handler. He enjoyed the attentions of others as well, letting them stroke his fur and rub his tummy.

Josh was transferred from the South L.A. shelter to the Best Friends facility in Mission Hills. His ID Adoption number at the city shelter was A1372804. If you are interested in meeting him, you can contact Best Friends with that information or let me know and I will get you his new name and number.

For more info please contact volunteer Andrea at IveGoneToTheDogs@gmail.com or by phone at (323) 363-4909. She's happy to meet you at the shelter, which is located at 3612 11th Ave. in Los Angeles.

yeah sulah cat ...that's why the santa monica bay restoration foundation , the one's responsible forRead More this lagoon project , posted this photo and cation three days ago ??? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=577617672278972&set=a.140206439353433.15428.130999036940840&type=1&theater&notif_t=like

Mrs Hanscom, we can agree on one point----algae was/is present both before and after theRead More restoration. Perhaps you can explain that to Andy. Your 12-30 million dollar assertion regarding the cost of the restoration is absurd & seems to get larger with every telling of that lie. The hypocrisy is on your part when you suggest that the proponents made remarks regarding algae that YOU say they did----no responsible biologist would have made such remarks. Your breaching comments are rank speculation. Why would "Ford" breach the lagoon at this point in time? You lie, distort and foment discord at every opportunity.Puuuuuuuuuu.

Love that you are using the message board to ask this question. Does any one have any ideas?

Dear Phil (re: Burt's column), I can’t quite put my finger on it, but, I sense anRead More Eggs-itential undertone to all this. Does the chicken Egg-ist on behalf of the egg or vice versa? Eggs-perience will reveal the truth. To be complete, I must rehash Camus’ “The Play-egg.” Yet, as I recall, in the Book of Eggs-odous, there wasn’t a single Play-egg, but ten of them… so many, in fact, that it seems to many readers to be literally a Dozen Play-eggs. But, then again, I’m not very religious. In fact, many of my colleagues take me for an Egg-nostic. But, they are such Hard-boiled fanatics, that, in fact, their peers surmise they boarder on Egg-lectic. But, as Burt always says in da ‘hood, “Om-letting them be what they want to be.” We, however, have one on Burt: Rumor has it that he fell of the Vegan and had an egg salad… to which he Eggs-claims, “It was a serving of ‘Egg Beaters,’ you Egg-Heads!!”

May Malibu residents, businesses and our City ALWAYS have the foresight and passion to remember andRead More protect > "Malibu was a place I went to with friends to hang out at the beach. But the last few years, its become a place I often go to by myself as a little escape zone. Whenever I have need to clear by head and level my shoulders, I head out to Malibu for a little mini-vacation. Whenever, like Ishmael, it feels like a damp, drizzly November in my soul, I fire up my 1965 Chevelle Malibu Super Sport and go see the watery part of the world." Amen.

MT-------still engaging in blatant hyperbole. Aldo Leopold van de Hoeck is not! Jacques, thanksRead More for the offer but no thanks. You'll just have to do it yourself. It's difficult to respond to a remark that has no sense. Puuuuuuuuuuur

I don't know why Sulah Cat would talk about CeCe in such a way, I thought they were friends......

Thanks all for the love. I think I learned my lesson about taking time off though! It's been a busyRead More week back.

We also use Havahart traps. They are gentle and humane, we can easily transport the little crittersRead More away from our population. We've done this successfully at least 20 times! Shared them with countless Malibu friends who've also successfully and humanely cured their rodent issues.

Many complain but do nothing more ... and it is only by action that something gets accomplished. IRead More applaud The Malibu Agricultural Society for persevering on this critical issue and thank the local businesses that removed the rat poison from their shelves. We really can all make a difference. Thank you!
