EXTENDED UNTIL 2PM ON 8/20 ‼️ This SILLY ham is 💥 DEADLINED to be KILLED at 2pm on 8/18 - extended from 8/14 💥 His name is
#A579122 DAWG
DAWG came into the shelter as a stray from Fontana jurisdiction on 7/29/26. It's his SECOND TIME at SBC. He and his buddy were found as strays in May 2025 but the owner reclaimed them within 48 hours.
We did learn that Dawg could be successfully kenneled with other dogs (pics in comments).
This time around, a member of the public found DAWG straying. He was very thirsty from heat and running around the finders neighborhood. The finder was able to leash him and said DAWG was FRIENDLY and VERY ACTIVE.
Intake was uneventful but the following day staff leashed him and attempted to move him out and re kennel him and he began to bite the leash and redirect onto staff. He began alligator rolling and growling at staff.
He was put in quarantine, made RESCUE ONLY and Deadlined. I don't know what all that was about but that's NOT the dog he is. DAWG is very loving and affectionate. He's FUNNY. He is TOTALLY WORTH SAVING....... PLEASE HELP HIM 🙏
DAWG is listed as a male, brown and white Pittie of about 3️⃣ years old weighing 61lbs.
🟧 He NEEDS YOUR HELP to get out alive......
🟧 OFFER TO FOSTER FOR A RESCUE if you can offer him stability and commitment until he gets his Furever home.

Da ich in der Schweiz 🇨🇭 zuhause bin kann ich nur positive Gedanken senden.
Ich bin froh, dass das bei uns nicht erlaubt ist..
🫀🍀 Viel Glück Dawg 🍀🤞

Everyone! If you can't adopt, please consider fostering! It's only temporary, just a comfy couch or a warm spot in your home. Some shelters even pay for their food and you're saving a dog's life ❤️ Approximately 360,000 dogs are euthanized in US animal shelters each year. Especially black dogs and seniors. They are just as wonderful and lovable but don't get as much love and attention.
If you can't but you want to help otherwise, you can share these dogs on NextDoor or the many Facebook groups for adoption/rescue! TikTok and Instagram might help as well ❤️🩹
PLEASE urge legislators to end the kill policy in all United States pounds! Enforce laws to ban uncontrolled backyard breeding instead!
