From the Boards: South L.A. Shelter Favorites

COREENA
Female German shepherd mix
3 years old
ID#: A1017456

Coreena is a sweet and gentle 3-year-old German shepherd mix who was dumped in the shelter by her owner on April 8th, and has consequently lost seven pounds. Apparently she was attacked by another dog and is very sad. Look at her pretty smile!

FRECKLES
Male pit bull terrier
4 years old
ID#: A1022637

Freckles the 4-year-old pit bull just wants to hide or curl up next to people. He's very shy and also very sad, even though he is much loved by the South L.A. staff.

ROXY
Female shepherd mix?
4 years old
ID#: A1021751

Four-year-old Roxy hates the shelter (she's lost 15 lbs) even though she loves other dogs. It looks to me like she has a couple fatty tumors on her neck, but the volunteer didn't mention it in her post so perhaps they're being taken care of? Sadly, I doubt it.

Can you stand it? Both Roxy and Freckles have been red-listed and have very limited time left before they are euthanized. Adopt a dog today!
