Subject: RE: 2 Homeless Dogs Need Home
Hi Gina,
I work at 3317 Exposition Place, Los Angeles, CA 90018 we are in a alley of warehouses, which they are roaming in trying to find food and shelter on their own. Looks like some of the guys at the building at the end of the alley have been giving them water and food.
If I had a truck I would do it, but I'm a bit nervous about putting them inside my car. They are pretty messed up as you can see from the photos. Yet, their disposition is very friendly. One laid in the entry way of our building this morning and I literally had to step over him a couple of times to enter/exit the door.
The problem is, I had to call the SPCA LA today to ask them to remove them because of multiple complaints about them, which is understood, they do need a home and this alley is not the place for them. Plus it looks like one of them has been roughed up a bit, not sure if by another dog or a mean person. I wish I could help them sooo bad, I'm scared someone is going to hurt them further or they will get put down. 9

Here are the photos of the dogs on the way to the vet, after Billy and Jennifer responded to this email from Twanya, and with her help, we were able to find the dogs in the alley and lure them to us (roasted turkey helped do the trick!)


Here are some more photos when we first arrived at the vet. The dogs were in really bad condition. The photos don't even justify the way they looked (or smelled, for that matter). Poor things must have been in a lot of discomfort, not to mention petrified but I think they also felt a bit relieved.



Here's some photos after being examined, shaved, and receiving medicated baths. They were both diagnosed, with Sarcoptic Mange, and will need to spend several weeks at the vet with close medical attention and special treatment. We are calling them Seymore (blue-eyed Samoyed), and Chauncy (mini Poodle) and they are really, really sweet.
