Los Angeles County, CA – An affectionate, senior German shepherd is at risk of having her life prematurely cut short after being held at the Los Angeles County Animal Care facility (Downey) since early September. The 10-year-old shepherd, Aunt Arctica, is approved for public adoption because of her easy-going demeanor, but nobody has stepped up to save her life.
And now, her 72-hour plea has expired, and she MUST exit the facility.
Notes reveal this senior girl’s sweet personality:
Aunt Arctica, a gentle soul with a calm demeanor, lounged comfortably on her bed, her body relaxed as a runner approached. With a happy wiggle and a soft pant, she greeted the runner, eagerly soliciting pets through the kennel barrier. Her body language was inviting: a loose tail wagged gently, her ears settled naturally, and her soft eyes sparkled with warmth.
And her personality in the play yard was equally promising:
Aunt Arctica took to exploring the yard, sniffing, and marking her territory before seeking out the handlers for more loving attention. She roamed the yard at her own pace, engaging briefly with the calmer dogs but always returning to the handlers for affection. Eventually, she found a cozy spot under a picnic table, where she relaxed and observed the play yard with a content expression.
This is a beautiful, lovely German shepherd who does not deserve the sad fate she has been dealt. Please share her adoption information and help save her from an unfair death.
