We’ve ordered more shirts and will post here when they arrive and are available to order. *Reminder-the only place to get GRFF approved merchandise is directly from us and/or our website. We ALWAYS post on Facebook and Instagram when we have a clothing sale, so don’t be fooled by people who tag you on our page telling you to go to their website to place an order.

Do you remember the pups Chuck Eye and Skirt Steak from the streets Eagle Pass, Texas? One had a broken leg! They are not too warm and fuzzy, or cuddly, but they are loved and cared for!

❤️ We run our Texas program @lovingtexaspetassistance Sharing “Recently we paid for a Veterinarian to come to Seguin to spay and neuter pets living with low income folks. A woman qualified for an appointment and she brought over a chubby, older Dachshund mix, to get spayed. After her surgery the staff asked me to speak to the woman about putting the dog on a diet, and giving her a bit more exercise. Surgery on a small, heavy dog can complicate internal suturing, as it did with her. When I went to talk to the woman, she told me her mom passed away three months ago, and Georgia had been her mom‘s dog. ❤️ That changed everything, because then I realized it didn’t matter so much that Georgia was heavy set, what mattered was that the gal was caring for her mother’s dog.” Tami #georgia #spayandneuter #cute #doxie #dachshund #doxiesofinstagram #wienerdog #grff #ghettorescue #lapd #ltpa #lovingtexaspetassistance #goodgirl #bigeyes #ilovedogs #pleasinglyplump

What do we do? The term “rescue” can mean many different things to many different people. Different rescues sometimes have different focuses. In the end, we all care about the well being of pets. So what does Ghetto Rescue focus on? Many things! Including, but not limited to: 1. Street dog rescue 2. Shelter intervention 3. Assistance to low income and homeless families’ pets. 4. We occasionally pull dogs from Los Angeles City shelters, as space and finances allow. 5. Education, spay/neuter focus. 6. And more! What GRFF does NOT do: 1. Take in lost dogs. Please take them to the shelter. This is where everyone goes first when looking for a lost pet. Wouldn’t you? Don’t assume that just because a dog (or cat) is skinny or dirty that it doesn’t have a home. A lost dog can look ragged quickly on the streets due to stress and lack of food and shelter. 2. We don’t take in owner relinquished dogs. 4. We don’t pull dogs from shelters that aren’t Los Angeles City shelters. Rescues have established relationships with certain shelters and just because we are a rescue, we don’t have the right to pull dogs from just any shelter. We are tagged in numerous “please save this dog” posts every single day and 90% of them aren’t even in Southern California. 5. We don’t repost “red list” or “euthanasia list” dogs from any shelters. 6. We don’t do long distance adoptions. We only adopt within a six hour driving radius of Los Angeles. Based on the guidance of our Board of Directors, GRFF focuses on the dogs we currently have that need homes. Although we have tens of thousands of followers, we run on a skeleton crew of volunteers, most that also work full-time jobs. We simply can’t use the little manpower we have to repost pets in need when we have multiple dogs in ranch boarding that we are trying to find homes for.

🎓 A neat update from Seeing Stars Selene (now Bella). She is the dog on the far right. “She’s been our favorite dog. So much personality. Sweet and sassy. GRFF has inspired us to adopt/rehome 3 more dogs since Bella. Bo is an interesting case. Our parents rescued a female that happened to be unknowingly pregnant. Bo is part of that litter. He was sent to a different owner but their other dog abused Bo, so he came to us. We rehomed another husky from a couple that was moving into a non-pet friendly environment. Then my daughter found a golden roaming the streets with a chewed off rope tied around its neck. Tried to get the word out to find the owner, to no avail. We kept him as well. Thank you for all you do. You’re such inspirations.” 💙💙💙 What a great photo. Thank you for the update. If you’ve adopted from us and haven’t sent an update, but have been meaning to, we’d love to hear from you. amy@ghettorescue.org #grffseeingstarsselene #grffalumni #groupdogphoto #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #grff #ghettorescue #lapd

Our last video of 2022 is of Hooligan exiting 🎉the South L A shelter yesterday!...

Some good news to start 2023! 🎉 We were contacted by a law enforcement officer 💙 who saw this guy on a post. GUESS WHAT? She offered to foster, not just show us his picture, and that is a HUGE help! Thank you! He was in the medical area of South L A for a bum leg. The medical staff told us he was spunky and although he has a bum leg, they said he gets around just fine. His foster mom went to pick him up after we pulled him (making him no longer on shelter list). She drove him home and said he is a very happy. He needs to have his leg looked and and he needs to be neutered, but we haven’t told him yet. Happy New Year’s Eve, Hooligan! 🥂 #grffhooligan #grffshelterintervention #thankyou #fosterssavelives #grff #ghettorescue #lapd
