Rescues of the Week: Pippy the Papillon, Bear the Snuggle Bug and Benevolent Baldwin

This week's rescue animals are part of the spcaLA adoption program, where all adopted pets are micro-chipped and spayed or neutered, and Ace of Hearts, whose adoption days are held every Saturday at the  from 1-4 p.m. 

Bear, a 5-year-old German Shepherd mix, is a big boy, but a gentle giant. His favorite activity is snuggling and going for long walks. Since he is a smart guy, a basic obedience or agility class would be right up his alley. Call the South Bay Pet Adoption Center at 310-676-1149 to learn more about this snuggle bug.

Baldwin, a 5-year-old Domestic Short Hair, is a super-friendly boy who loves everyone. He is sweet and affectionate, and he loves being cuddled and picked up. Call the P.D. Pitchford Companion Animal Village & Education Center at 562-570-7722 to learn more about Baldwin.

Pippy is a 6-month-old female Papillon/Dachshund puppy who was rescued from a high-kill shelter where she was left as a stray. She is an 8-pound, pint-sized princess and an absolute sweetheart who loves other dogs. Pippy is already spayed and up to date on her routine shots. Now all this adorable pooch needs is a forever home.
