Update: Lilo has been rescued!! Please see screenshot below from 24PetConnect
Devore, California – A dog picked up as a stray and taken to the San Bernardino County – Devore Shelter is out of time. The five-year-old husky mix, dubbed Lilo, was taken in on April 21. She was wearing a harness, indicating she has an owner, but nobody came to get her.
Now time has run out. An advocate writes:
This is a last ditch effort to save Lilo’s life.
I can’t stop thinking about her.
She came into the shelter still wearing her harness. She clearly belonged to someone at some point, but no one ever came for her. And now she’s sitting in kennel D 80, confused, overwhelmed, and completely out of time.
Every time I see her, she howls. She cries out like she’s searching for something she lost and doesn’t understand how to get back. It’s not behavior. It’s not “acting out.” It’s a dog who is scared, displaced, and still hoping someone is going to show up and make it make sense.
She is a 5 year old brown brindle husky mix, and she is absolutely terrified in the shelter environment. Loud noises, constant kennel stress, and the confusion of not understanding why she’s here have taken a toll on her. She doesn’t want to be in here. She just wants to feel safe again.
Video footage of Lilo in the shelter is heartbreaking. She is clearly overwhelmed and distraught. Lilo has been labeled “rescue only” and she is apparently on the euthanasia list for the afternoon of April 28.
Please share Lilo’s information – time is of the essence.

lilo was rescued, thank goodness!! Karma will find her previous owners, that I am sure of. Times like this I hate people.
How incredibly cruel can you be. This poor dog looks petrified and he’s waiting for an owner that’s not going to come . They need to be put on the animal registry and never allowed to have another animal if this is the way they’re going to treat them.
You reap what you sow!! Shame on you
If you kill this baby karma will get you devore shelter you suck always gonna kill. I hope that baby is still living. cause somebody owns that baby so send it to another shelter so they can find it either the owner or a home God bless that little one if you still alive I pray you find a family if he died I pray for you in heaven, 🙏🙏humans suck.
This is heartbreaking! Wish I could have a dog, but because of my husband’s illness, I can’t. I pray that someone will step up to the plate and save this beautiful sweet little pup.
