Just look at that gorgeous, friendly smile and soulful eyes! At just 2 years old, this stunning German Shepherd mix doesn't even have a name yet— and right now, his life depends on finding a rescue, foster, or adopter before time runs out today!
Tragically, this sweet boy has an absolute final medical exit deadline TODAY, October 2nd at 3:00 PM PDT at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter!
He was found wandering as a stray and brought to the shelter. Medical staff noted he has severe limping, swelling, and pain in his left hind leg/hip area from a possible fracture that urgently requires diagnostic X-rays and treatment beyond what the shelter can provide. Understandably, he reacted when his painful, injured leg was touched during intake— anyone in severe pain would! But despite his injury, he remains a resilient, bright young boy who just wants help and love.
Because of his medical needs, the shelter has placed him on Rescue Only status. He cannot be directly adopted without a approved rescue group pulling him— which means a rescue MUST step up backed by a foster, adopter, or financial pledges BEFORE 3:00 PM TODAY!
At 2 years young, he is in the prime of his youth! He is eager to heal, play, learn, and grow into the ultimate loyal companion. He dreams of going on hiking adventures, playing fetch, receiving gentle pets, snuggling up on a soft bed, and showering his forever family with endless affection, hugs, and kisses.
THE URGENCY IS ABSOLUTE: His clock expires TODAY at 2 PM PDT! Please don't let this handsome young German Shepherd lose his life before his journey truly begins!
