#A5536505
Meet
Tiger
, a 7-year-old Pitbull boy who absolutely lives up to his name with a striking brindle coat patterned in soft, muted stripes of cream and light brown! This big, gorgeous chonky meatball doesn't always show his best side in his kennel, where he can be a bit barrier-reactive, but once he's out, it's like meeting a whole new dog. Tiger has been wonderful with both people and other pups, and he's done fabulously in playgroup with his fellow four-legged friends! He has a fun, rough-and-tumble play style and a perfectly balanced medium energy level, so he'd do best with similar-sized dogs who enjoy the same kind of play. More than anything, this handsome boy is a big softie who eagerly seeks out pets and snuggles, with a loose, wiggly booty that lets you know just how happy he is to be loved. Come meet Tiger and discover the sweet, affectionate gentleman waiting outside that kennel!

-73 pound neutered male
-may need the standard round of shots and preventatives before he can go home with you, but the shelter can likely help with this!
-came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 10/01/26 as an internal transfer from another shelter -we’re hoping Phineas finds his furever family here
-high energy but great manners - perfect for an active family that can burn off his energy; once he does, he’s always down for the snuggles!
-friendly with both other people and pups - social butterfly that could be a great little brother to other pups you already have

Meet
Kane
, a 5-year-old Pit Bull gentleman with a gorgeous slate-grey coat, accented by little hints of white on his chest and tippy toes! This sweet boy may not be feeling his best these days - he has arthritis in his hips and front right leg, so his new family will need to follow up with an outside veterinarian after adoption to help him get the care he deserves. But don't let his aches and pains overshadow the enormous amount of love this boy has to give - he's an absolute sweetheart who is eager to share it with everyone! Kane is wonderful with people and has also been calm and curious when meeting other dogs through the fence at the shelter. Sadly surrendered because his owner no longer wanted the responsibility of a pet, Kane also shows signs that he hasn't always received the care he needed. This good boy deserves a soft place to land, a family who will put his well-being first, and all the love he's been waiting for. Will that be with you?

-5 year old grey and white Pitbull
-98 pound neutered male
-up to date on all shots and preventatives, so ready to go home with you today! But does have some arthritis that needs to be treated, so will need to see an outside vet upon adoption
-came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 10/12/26 as an owner surrender - they said they could no longer have the responsibility of a pet, but it doesn’t look like poor Kane was receiving all the care he needed even when they had him
-still very sweet and gentle with both people and other pups here at the shelter, despite the discomfort he is in due to his joints

19. Perla
Young · Female · Pit Bull Terrier (short coat) · 8 mi from South San Gabriel



#A5804871 Perla
is a beautiful young Pittie with a soft blue coat and an even softer heart. At just over a year and a half old, this precious girl is incredibly sweet and affectionate, but the busy shelter environment has left her feeling a little overwhelmed. During playgroup, Perla stayed close to her handlers, quietly seeking affection and reassurance while peacefully sharing space with other calm dogs. She's a gentle, low-energy sweetheart who could use a little extra nourishment, pampering, and, most importantly, someone to make her feel safe and loved. Perla is ready for a home where she can finally relax and let her sweet personality shine.

Adopting a dog in South San Gabriel
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
