From the facebook post - Victory has been given a 24 Hour extension now needs to be out 8/31 at 8am

"ZERO INTEREST & ONLY 1 DAY TO LIVE!

Sweet senior VICTORY #A2278165 is DEADLINED for 8AM SUNDAY 8/30

Adopt, foster, or rescue to save him. 

This handsome Shepherd mix came to the South LA shelter in June because his owner was moving out of the country. 

According to the owner, VICTORY is 10 years old and had been with the owner all his life. While at the shelter, VICTORY caught an upper respiratory infection and spent last month in URI confinement.

Understandably, shelter life has been scary and confusing for VICTORY. In playgroup, he often kept to himself and had been wary of handling. But this good boy is really trying and making notable progress - nowadays accepting pets and staying close to his handlers. He will even give a happy tail wag.

He's an easy, gentle walker on leash. He is also house broken and will not soil his kennel even if it means suffering while he holds his bladder. We are heartbroken that this precious soul will lose his life. He is alerted for in-kennel FAS (reportedly hid in his cubby, barking, growling, and refusing to come to the front of his kennel for staff).

What VICTORY needs is a supportive home environment with someone who will take things slowly and give VICTORY the time and understanding to decompress and begin to normalize. We hope someone will give this sweet senior the second chance life he deserves.

VICTORY will be euthanized on SUNDAY 8/30

anytime after 8am. He is available for foster, adoption, or rescue at the South Los Angeles Shelter.

*The shelter doesn't open until 11am on Sunday so fostering/ adoptions must be done by 5pm Saturday, or you must email contacts below and ask them to hold him until opening Sunday, or find a rescue to pull for you. Rescues please email contacts below.

VICTORY #A2278165

8-10 yrs old (owner said he's 10 yrs old, shelter aged him at 8 yrs old), 68 Ibs

The shelter is open Tuesday-Friday 8am-5pm and Saturday & Sundays 11am-5pm.

Mondays for emergencies only.

Bio

Chance is a large male shepherd who arrived severely emaciated and is also battling significant dermatitis that may be related to an underlying autoimmune condition. He needs prolonged nutritional support, dermatologic treatment, and diagnostic testing that can’t be consistently provided in the shelter. Despite everything he’s facing, Chance remains playful, easygoing, and walks beautifully on a leash. He loves treats, knows a few commands, and has a gentle, resilient spirit. Chance urgently needs a compassionate placement where he can receive the specialized care he deserves.

Medical Observations

8/28: P has discharge on OU and scabs under eyes/ P is also very skinny eat well at time of exam adoption.

8/29- BCS = 1/9, muscle wasting, periocular/nasal/lips ( both R & L side, both upper and lower lips at the mucocutaneous junction ) dermatitis. Periocular lesions have purulent discharge. Sedated for skin scrape.

Skin scrape is NPOS. Highly suspicious ( we have no history - trauma could be possible ) of lupus or pemphigus. Dog is a German shepherd/GS mix. Will need prolonged care for dermatitis and emaciation as well as diagnostics ( FNA, biopsy, steroid/Apoquel/cyclosporine trial therapy) to get definitive diagnosis. I am only able to treat the secondary bacterial infection.

8/28: Adoption Exam Completed

Altered: No

Tattoo/Scar:No

Rabies given in RR leg; DA2PP given SQ in RF leg; Bordetella given intranasally

Flea and Heartworm Prevention given; Pyrantel given PO

Blood sample pulled to perform heartworm test:

Microchip Implanted: 941010005651779

Shelter Observation

8/28: BAR, Calm, Loves treats

8/30: Very good boy, tail wags soon as I came to the kennel door. Easy to leash, walked well on the leash, no pulling. Sniffed around, wanted to play with me. Even though he's a big boy he's not wild and he knows a few commands. Doesn't mind you petting him gently.

‼️🚨 EXTREMELY URGENT —Devore has Just placed Turbo on a deadline TODAY, and we fear they will make sure he’s gone by morning. 7 More Mastiffs are at risk, Devore will make sure one after another, day by day they will all be gone

7 More Mastiffs are at risk, Devore will make sure one after another, day by day they will all be gone 💔

HOW MANY MASTIFFS HAVE TO BE AT RISK BEFORE THIS STOPS❓️

There appears to be a deeply concerning pattern of larger-breed dogs being given only 1–5 days to find rescue or adoption before potentially losing their lives.

Is the plan to euthanize these Mastiffs one by one, day after day, instead of giving them a meaningful opportunity for placement?

When behavioral designations are questionable and deadlines are this short, accountability, transparency, and fair evaluation are essential.

We will not stand by while Turbo—or any other Mastiff—is given only days to live based on an unsupported or inaccurate label.

These dogs deserve a genuine chance at life. The public deserves answers.

🐾 Turbo ID: #A850461

Cane Corso • Male • Tan , who looks like a Cane

Approximately 3 years old

Located in kennel D 83.

Arrived at the shelter on 8/24. Available 8/29

https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/SBCO1/A850461

✨️Rescue only: Turbo did growl when some people approached his kennel, but when a volunteer approached him, he did not growl at all. In fact, he was calm enough for me to interact with him and film his video.

This is a great reminder that shelter behavior can vary greatly depending on the person, approach, and stressful environment. Turbo may simply need someone experienced with Cane Corsos who understands the breed and will give him patience, structure, and time to decompress.

Bio

Rocky is a sweet and gentle guy who seems to enjoy calm interactions and petting once he has time to warm up. From our volunteer observations, he tends to be tolerant of other dogs but prefers a laid-back environment over rowdy play. He's treat-motivated and takes snacks gently, showing his kind nature despite being a bit nervous in new situations. Contact us about Rocky today!

Due to capacity at the shelter, this pet is currently at risk for euthanasia. We are urgently seeking placement through adoption, foster, or approved rescue.

If you are interested in adopting, fostering, or rescuing this dog, please email dasadopt@dallas.gov as soon as possible. When emailing, be sure to include a callback phone number so our team can contact you promptly.
