Available Animals
MaeDay Rescue is a non-profit dog rescue based in Los Angeles. We save hundreds of dogs a year from the shelters and streets through our a foster based program. Sometimes we save cats too! We save dogs of all breeds and all ages.
We get to know each dog while in their foster home, and a lot of work goes into finding them their perfect forever home! We offer meet & greets and a one week trial before adopting except for our young puppies as we'd like to keep the bouncing around to a minimum. If you see a pup you'd like to meet, please fill out an adoption application and be sure to include their name :)
Pan
Meet PAN! He’s fresh from the shelter and already settling into his foster home! We named him Pan because he’s shaped like a long loaf of bread (Spanish origin of word)…and he has lots of energy (Greek origin of word). We love him already!
Pan is about 8-9 years old, 12 lbs, and SO handsome. He’s very sweet, curious, good with other dogs ….and did we mention handsome?!? We can’t wait to get to know more about him! Huge thanks to his foster for helping us bust him out of the shelter and turn his life around! #maedaypan
Cacio
Let’s welcome another new pup to the pack! Meet CACIO (as in Cacio e Pepe because he’s black & white…and delicious!). He is super sweet and has adjusted so well since we busted him out of the shelter. Cacio was a bit shy and scared in there, but who wouldn’t be?! Thankfully, those days are forever over!
Cacio is about 2ish years old, 14 lbs, potty trained, good on leash, great with other dogs ….and is an all-around perfect sweetheart. He’s getting braver by the minute — And look how handsome he is! He agrees because he loves looking at himself in the mirrorš¤£. We can’t wait to continue learn long more about him — Welcome Cacio! #maedaycacio
Pops
Meet Pops! This 12-ish year old senior boy was sitting in the shelter sad and scared. Thanks to his fosters, we were able to save him and put him on a path to a better life!
He is great in his crate overnight, loves walks, and is great with other dogs. Pops is only 9 lbs and a total sweetheart that likes to lounge around a lot He is still settling in and we are honored to be able to help on his forever home journey! #maedaypopsdog
Logan
Meet LOGAN!! This little 15-lb guy is about 2 years old, looks like a Border Terrier, & is very sweet! He sadly found himself at the South LA shelter - we saw that he needed an exit plan and we couldn’t resist his scruffy cuteness! Thanks to foster we got him out of there quickly!
Logan is good with other dogs, potty trained, knows how to sit, is sleeping through the night in his crate ….and is an all-around 100% good boy! He’s so easy and well behaved and we love him already. Welcome Logan! #maedaylogan
Pax
Please meet our new guy PAX!!!
Pax means peace and it fits because this sweetie is super peaceful and loving. We busted him out of the the shelter after they reached out to us about him — they loved him and wanted to see someone take good care of him. And that’s exactly what we’re doing thanks to his fosters!!
Pax is about 8-10ish years old, 15 lbs, and the cutest little guy. He has some dry eye (that has impaired his vision a bit), has an ear infection, and desperately needed a dental …but he’s been to our vet and is now on the mend! His fosters say that he’s mellow, loves belly rubs, and is super affectionate. We can’t wait to get him feeling better, and on the path to his forever home! Welcome to the pack, Pax! #maedaypax
Lugosi
Meet Lugosi! This senior 12ish year old boy was scared at the shelter and we can’t imagine who would dump a super senior like this there. Our heart breaks for him but we were happy to save him! He has hind leg arthritis, a heart murmur and is just so so sweet. He wants to go on strolls, likes pets and loves everyone he meets. He’s only 12 lbs so he’s an easy guy to have around! We named him Lugosi (after Bela Lugosi) because of his fabulous snaggletooth! Give a warm welcome to Grandpa Lugosi!! #maedaylugosi
Dusty
Meet Dusty!!! He has a fabulous underbite and was so well behaved when he was groomed right as soon as he came out of the shelter! Goody boy!
Dusty is approximately 7 years old, 15 lbs, and clearly a shitzu of some kind. He just came to us from the shelter where he was an owner surrender — he has a skin condition that we are helping to solve for him. He went to the vet and got treated for his skin & ear infections ….and is beginning his healing journey now! He’ll be better in no time. We are so happy to get him feeling better and on the road to his happy ending! Dusty is potty trained, good with other dogs, and is very friendly & sweet. Let’s welcome him!!! #maedaydusty
Granny Ella
Granny Ella is a sweet 10ish chihuahua mix who still loves toys, play bouncing and is an absolute dear. She was a shelter staff favorite and when they told us about her, we scooped her up. She is potty trained, great with all humans, dogs and is great on leash. Her back legs sometimes shake from arthritis, but that just makes us love her more and she has a heart murmur. But, she is healthy other than that and is ready to find her forever home. #maedaygrannyella
Chatters
Meet Chatters! This 10-ish year old / 21 lb good boy came to us from Victorville shelter after his owner died and he found himself at the shelter for over 3 months waiting for someone to save him. We were happy to step in and help!
He is pretty perfect pup! He loves other dogs, potty trained, sweet, easy and don’t let his name fool you - he isn’t chatty— His foster has yet to hear him bark! He’s great on leash, chill, and can’t wait to find his forever home! Give him a warm Maeday welcome to #maedaychatters
Jim
Meet JIM!!! He was thrilled to get out of the shelter — was radiating pure joy! We are so happy we could bust him out & turn his life around! Huge thanks to his foster for making it possible.
Jim is approximately 4-5 years old, 15ish lbs, and seems like maybe a Yorkie or Havanese mix? He was quite matted when he first came to us and has clearly been through a lot - he was brought into the shelter as a stray and had a wound on his front paw/some damage on his nails/foot pads. Those sad days are behind him now! He has a little limp but after. x-rays there’s no obvious break or damage so it’s likely an old injury that didn’t heal correctly - but he gets around fine and is the best boy!
Jim is super friendly, potty trained, loves belly rubs, and is great with other dogs. help us welcome him to the pack! #maedayjim
Feta
Meet the Maeday kittens known as the cheese litter! We have Feta (calico female) Cheddar (orange boy) & Manchego (tuxedo boy) they were born in an abandoned house around April 25th. They found their way to MaeDay and have been such great kittens! Litter trained, loving, social and good with dogs. They are looking for an indoor only home and can be adopted solo or in pairs. #maedaycheesekittens
Colette
Meet Colette! She’s a 4-year old / 10-lb glamour girl. She is the mom of the #maedayfrenchpastrypups and is now ready to find her forever home where she can be a dog and not a mom! She was the best mom and after raising 7 puppies who are almost 8 weeks old, it’s time for her to start her life.
She is the sweetest, happiest girl who loves all people and other animals. She’s good on leash, is a great listener and has no separation anxiety. Colette also LOVES to cuddle. Make room in your cuddle puddle and adopt her! #maedaycolette

He is around 5 years old, 20 lbs, bilingual, gets along with other dogs and can be shy with new people — he’ll need someone that is patient and goes slow with him. But once he trusts you, he’s an awesome little dog!

Raffi
Meet Raffi! This adorable 1 year old Lab/Shepherd mix was on the euthanasia list and about to be put down this weekend — he wouldn’t be here today if our friend/board member didn’t see him and jump into action. Now this active, smart and goofy boy is alive and has his whole life in front of him!
He is great with kids, very sweet & friendly. He could use some basic leash training because he is still an excited puppy, but sleeps in his bed all night and loves every dog he has met! Put in your applications to meet and fall in love with this perfect boy! #maedayraffi
Darwin
Meet DARWIN!!! Darwin is about 10 years old, 46 lbs, & a hound/terrier mix. Darwin has been with the same family since he was a puppy …but now has the not-uncommon story of needing to be rehomed because of the new children in the house. He isn’t a fan of the kids and has mostly kept to himself …but he did have one unfortunate incident where he nipped at one of them. It wasn’t serious, but his family wants to be super cautious and has decided that he should have a new home where he can live out his golden years in peace.
Darwin has been mostly kept in the guest house since the incident and we’d love him to find a home where he can be king of the castle once again - That’s what he deserves! Darwin is sweet, energetic, friendly with all adults/teens, potty trained, and gets along with most dogs. He is great on leash, has no health issues, is up to date on vaccinations, and just had an anesthetic dental cleaning where everything looked great! He’s a healthy senior guy looking for his new family. #maedaydarwin
Mona
Meet MONA!š©·š¾ This gal came to us from the shelter where she was an owner surrender. We are sad that she lost her family but we already know that she’s a total gem!
Mona is about 10-12 years old, and a tiny 8 lbs. She loves people, is potty trained, good with other dogs, and loves to cuddle. She had a really bad mouth of teeth - which likely comes from neglect & poor nutrition in her previous home. But that’s ok - after her dental surgery, she now only has 8 teeth left and her mouth is sparkly clean & minty fresh! She loves to be around her people so someone that is home a lot would be ideal for her — she is super happy, confident, & sweet …and looking for her perfect forever retirement home! #maedaymona
Tobie
Meet Tobie!
When the volunteers at Harbor shelter in San Pedro sent us this picture and said “this 11 year old boy is an owner surrender after his owner was diagnosed with Alzheimers, can you take him?” We answered with a giant YES!
His name is Tobie and he is relaxed, easy on leash, was great for his bath and is great with other dogs. He has a chronic dry eye which will require eye drops, but this little senior is move in ready! #maedaytobie
Leam
Meet Leam!
This gentleman is Leam and he is a 12 year old fixed boy who sadly lost his home after his human was elderly and could no longer care for him properly. He is litter trained, great with other cats and loves a lap. Give this guy the best senior years of his life and adopt him. #maedayleam
Rudolph
Meet Rudolph (aka Rudy)! He’s a 5 year old miniature pinscher. Rudy weighs 16 pounds, is great with other dogs and is a very loyal pup! He loves to cuddle up with his person, is a great listener, whip smart and eager to please. Rudy was found on the streets and was surrendered to the shelter prior to finding his way to Maeday. He is very grateful to have a safe and cozy place to land while he awaits his forever home. #maedayrudolph
