Help Free a Jailhouse Dog
Jailhouse dogs are ones that are currently still in the shelter and are pending euthanasia. We are hoping by featuring them, it will help locate folks in the community who want to help either financially or by providing a foster (or dare we hope a permanent) home.
Here is how you can help free a Jailhouse Dog:
1. Foster: If we have a foster we can save the dog’s life immediately. Offer to foster and we will save the dog today.
2. Financial Sponsor: Sponsor the dog and we can save his/her life. Each dog will list the approximate amount to “bail” him/her from the shelter.
3. Foster to Adopt: Interested in potentially adopting the dog? We offer on all of our Jail House dogs an opportunity to either adopt or to foster-to-adopt. You can have the dog in your home for a period of 1-2 weeks and see if he/she is a match. If a match, we complete the adoption and you’ve saved his/her life.
If you are interested in freeing a Jailhouse Dog, please contact us at: rescuenoca@aol.com
Meet the Jailhouse Dogs
This guy is a 10 month old Golden Lab-Retriever-Aussie mix. He's about 60lbs.
This gal is a 6 month old, 25lbs, Australian Cattle Dog mix. We expect she'll be in the 35lbs range when full grown.
Additional THANKS to the following folks who without your help, we could not have saved these two dogs!
You are miracle workers.
• Veronique L.
• Carol H.
• Justin M.
• Ken & Clari
• Joy F.
• Thank you, Baglan, for bailing out Jailhouse Dog #12, now named Victory
This guy is currently at the shelter and has been for sometime. He is a 5 year old Shepherd-Chow mix whose family was evicted and he too found himself homeless. Despite the overpopulation in the shelter he is currently in, they have held onto him because he's a great dog. Many other great dogs have passed through their doors but they weren't able to keep but this one holds a special place in all of their hearts. Perhaps it's the "High 5's" he gives that makes all the difference to the staff or perhaps it's the cheerful, outgoing nature. Something has captured their heart. Unfortunately our boy has been given his "date" and that means if he doesn't find a home he will be euthanized.
Thank You to Joy F. for helping save his life!
Jailhouse Dog #004
This stunningly beautiful 10 month old girl is a Lab-Shepherd who is friendly and outgoing and wants nothing more than to escape this very high kill shelter. She ran up to the cage and was wiggling her rear end and couldn’t sit still. She was desperate for love and attention. We gave her a few of our treats that we had and she was so gentle in taking them and so grateful.
Jailhouse Dog #005
This is a beautiful 5 year old black Lab male who is neutered. He lived previously with other dogs. He has a gorgeous full black coat. Clearly he has been someone’s pet and has been loved by someone. Unfortunately he was turned in when his family lost their home to foreclosure. He has a week to escape this high kill shelter.

Jailhouse Dog #006
Lily is a 10 month old Boxer-Shepherd who is an excited, friendly gal. She was adopted by a family from the shelter as a puppy and then given away to another family who recently lost their home and now she is back at the shelter where her time is limited. She is ready to go to a forever home. She lived previously with other dogs. She’s a beautiful girl who needs a family that wants a young, energetic, friendly gal who will greet you with kisses and can’t wait to go to training and become the beautiful well behaved girl she was destined to be.
If you are looking for a beautiful girl, please help us save this dog. We need a sponsor, a foster and an adopter to save this dog!
Please send us an email if you are willing to foster her.

Jailhouse Dog #007
She’s a beautiful Boston Terrier-something kind of wire-haired Terrier mix. She’s about 25-30lbs full grown. She is playful and outgoing and has such a spunky spirit. She needs a home! She’s still at the shelter, hoping and praying that someone will help her get out of jail!
Please send us an email if you are willing to foster her.

A donation of $100.00 will bail out any one of these precious dogs. Could you help bail one out?
Jailhouse Dog #8
He's a young Maltese-Shih Tzu who is in great need of a grooming but he has all the personality in the world. He's been overlooked because he stinks and desperately needs some help from a salon. But we see his inner-beauty and we know with a hair cut and a bath, he'll be a dog who everyone wants! Please help us save him. He will make a wonderful pet for someone if we're able to save him.
Jailhouse Dog #9
How can you possibly resist this guy? He's so full of personality and spunk. We are dying to grab this guy up and just take him home in our bag. He's a young Poodle mix with PERSONALITY! Give this guy a chance out of the shelter, please.
Jailhouse Dog #10
Just another Poodle who will be overlooked but we didn't! We want to save him. He's sweet and he's friendly. He's getting sadder and sadder by the day while he waits in his "jail cell" for someone to spring him!
Jailhouse Dog #11
After 5 years of being a loyal, loving, obedient pet, Pal was dropped off at the shelter by his owners. He's being replaced by a "newer" model and they don't have time for Pal now. He's wanted by us and we want to give him the fur-ever home he deserves instead of sitting in a cell and then his last memory of being taken off to a room with strangers to be euthanized.
Special thanks to: Pooja, Cheryl, Danielle, Tammy, Steven, Mike and Rose for helping save our four legged friends who needed extra help!


Jailhouse Dog #12
This gorgeous boy is looking for either a foster or a forever home. He is about 5-7 years old and has totally won over the officers at the shelter. He knows sit, stay, paw, come and they are working on "roll over". He takes daily walks with the senior citizens who visit the shelter and he easily walks with them. He likes to stroll along and he doesn't pull or tug.
He is an ideal candidate for someone who is home more than not. He wants to be a part of the family or part of whatever you are doing. He doesn't like being left out of the excitement. He has a very typical Lab personality at this age where he is relaxed, fun loving, without a lot of high energy. He is at that ideal age where he likes to lounge with you, if you're up for a walk so is he, if you're feeling like curling up under the blankets on a cold winter day, well, so is he...
The officers at the shelter have to let him out of his cage every day at least twice a day as he refuses to go to the bathroom in his cage. He has to go outside. So, acclimating him to the house will be easy but our assessment is he was easily someone's house dog before ending up at the shelter as a stray.


Jailhouse Dog #13
Our time is limited on this girl!
Sorry this dog is not available for foster to adopt or to the public. If we are able to save her, she will be available for adoption in the future. We were called and asked if we would take this dog in because she has sarcoptic mange, which is highly contagious to people and other animals. If she receives treatment it goes away fairly quickly. (It's the best kind of mange because you never have to deal with it again!) The shelter started the treatment but said they can only keep her a couple of days due to it being contagious.
We would like to save this dog and she is our JH #13. We have the facility available to take her in and keep her quarantined from others until the mange is gone and she is healed! We are in desperate need of assistance to fund the treatment which will be about $250.
Bail out fee: $75
Grooming: $50
Vet check: $50
If you can help bail her out of jail, please contact us ASAP.




Jailhouse Dog #14
This is our JH #14. He is looking pretty scruffy but we know what a beauty he will become underneath all of that. He is at a high kill shelter where he sits in a cage by himself, looking and smelling pretty bad. But he's really a loving sweet boy. We took him out and hugged him and loved on him and he wanted love soooo bad...
Right now we are in need of assistance to bail out this soon-to-be beauty. If you would like to help this guy, please consider making a donation under our Jailhouse dogs program: http://www.dpsrescue.com/jailhouse.html.
If we are able to bail this guy out, then we will begin to look for a foster to adopt home for him. Right now, he just needs a ride out of the shelter!
Bail out fee: $75
Grooming: $50
Vet check: $50
If you can help bail him out of jail, please contact us ASAP.
