?? Rescue Needed for Crackers! ???Crackers is a young dog who has spent far too much of his life in the shelter. During our Positive Enrichment Series, he showed just how smart he is—learning new skills quickly and making great progress. Outside of class, he has also been successful in playgroups and enjoyed outings with volunteers. Now, Crackers must exit the shelter by March 10th. He needs a rescue, foster, or adopter working with a rescue to step up for him. He would do best with someone committed to managing a unique behavioral matter, giving him the structure and support he deserves. ?? Can you help Crackers find his second chance? If you’re connected to a rescue or can foster through one, please reach out ASAP! ???North Central Shelter 3201 Lacy St., Los Angeles, CA 90031 ??Tuesday-Friday 8AM-5PM; Saturday-Sunday 11AM-5PM ???888-452-7381 for more info Let’s rally for Crackers and help him find the safe, loving home he needs! ?? #ShelterDog #DogRescue #HumanAnimalBond #LosAngeles
