Devore, California – A beautiful German shepherd is urgently in need of help at the Devore animal shelter facility in California. The four-year-old shepherd, dubbed Pookie, has been at the facility since March 16 and already, her time has run out.
Pookie’s adoption profile reveals her dire situation – the name field reads, “Name: My name is Urgent Med Adopt Pookie.”

And on social media, her apparently “euthanasia” date is today, March 31. As of this morning, her adoption profile is still active, meaning she is still alive and there is hope to save her life. But time is running short and this beautiful girl desperately needs the help of strangers if she is to survive.
Pookie has been described as gentle and docile. She has been calmly waiting in her lonely kennel run for someone to take notice of her and free her from the building. Please help this deserving dog have the opportunity to live out the remainder of her life – if help does not arrive soon, she will forever be lost.
Even if you do not live in the Devore, CA, area, you can help Pookie. Simply share her adoption information (listed below) with the hope that it reaches someone in her area. Networking saves lives!
Please note – all inquiries about this dog must be made directly to the shelter facility. National Animal News is not the point of contact and has no affiliation with this dog, or this shelter facility. Thank you!
