Downey, California – Months ago, when Dino was a bright-eyed four-month-old puppy, his owner surrendered him to the Los Angeles County Animal Control. Today, the puppy, once full of curiosity and boundless energy is a shell of his former self.

Dino entered the facility looking healthy and vibrant. Today, he has only three legs (for reasons unknown) and he appears terrified – the weight of the world dragging him down with each passing day. Dino still longs for the love of a kind person, but as weeks drag into months, the hope of being loved fades.
This gorgeous boy deserves a better life than this. He deserves to live his life with the love of a kind person, in a home, with toys and a bed of his own. The clock is ticking for Dino – like it does for every other unwanted pet locked away in the animal control kennel runs.
Please share Dino’s story – your networking could be the difference between his life, or his death.

Investigation needed NOW! The monster who is responsible for this sickening cruelty must HANG!
I would Luke to know if you have initiated an investigation as to what happened to this puppy at the shelter who arrived healthy and now is not.
thank you,
I look forward to your response

WTF is going on at the county run so called shelters? They don’t give a crap about the poor animals. What kind of people do they employ? Seems to be only wicked ones that abuse the animals. A full investigation needs to be conducted. Isn’t this the same shelter that gave 4 staffy type dogs to Hispanic men that were suspected of running a dog fighting ring?
Maybe it’s time someone asked why a seemingly healthy puppy loses a leg in a shelter
Damn straight. I’m in Ohio or I would go get him TODAY.
I just researched Darling Dino at that shelter and it said that he was adopted by an Organization on December 17, 2025!
Sure hope it is True!
ce qu’il faudrait savoir et faire une enquête sur le pourquoi il a été amputé ??? personne ne va sur place et demander ? moi j’habite en France sinon j’aurais été sur place et demandé pourquoi il est comme ça ?
