Update 5/15/2023: A wonderful update about beautiful Lonzo! He has been rescued by Stacy Hope Rescue. The agency wrote, “Guess who’s out of the stinky building our beautiful boy Lonzo!! We wanted to save a #gsd for the #nationalgermanshepherdday and we could do it ONLY with your help thanks everyone who shared him with us❤️”

Downey, CA – A very good boy named Lonzo is facing the end of his life, through no fault of his own. The year-old shepherd is still just a pup, and a handsome pup at that, but for some reason, he has been overlooked at the Downey Animal Shelter.

And Lonzo is out of time. He is one of the many “urgent” dogs who must be adopted or rescued soon, or he will be led to a back room and unceremoniously euthanized – gone forever, and quickly forgotten.

A shelter volunteer said:

He’s such a doll. He’s greeted me with bright hellos and sometimes worried looks, but he always said hello. He’s so precious.

Lonzo is a frightened pup who desperately wants to live, and be loved. That won’t happen if he is not adopted or rescued soon.

Please share Lonzo’s adoption information. Your “share” might be the one that saves his life.
