Turtle was found being kicked around like a soccer ball by children on a school yard. Her ears had been horribly mutilated and were still bleeding. Luckily ARME saved her and found her a beautiful forever home!

 Cabo
“Cabo” was dumped at the South
Central pound without a mom, having just been born. ARME
got the call so, of course, we took him in! We bottle fed
him and a surrogate mom named Chula made sure he had plenty
of TLC! As soon as he was ready, he was adopted into a wonderful,
loving home. He now shares his life with two great humans
and another doggie named Cantina and spends his days on
the beach..

Abby
and her seven nursing pups were destined for death at the
East Valley pound. With enough donations we were able to
get them all out of there and into a safe, warm home. Once
weaned, all of the pups were placed in loving homes. Abby
lives with the family that first fostered her and her pups.

I found
Chula pregnant, emaciated and unable to stand in
a cage filled with five other dogs at the pound. When I
asked about her chances, I was told she would be "euthanized"
that night because she was going to give birth the next
day and the pound will not allow birth to take place on
the premises. Of course I filled out adoption papers immediately
and to my surprise I was told that she would be taken the
following morning for an abortion and spaying. When I asked
how they could abort puppies that were due the following
day, they replied, "That's our policy." The following
morning I waited outside the veterinary office
until they opened. As it turned out, Chula was too ill to
undergo anesthesia. I took her home and the next day she
gave birth to 11 healthy puppies. All the puppies were placed
in wonderful homes and Chula is a permanent member of the
ARME household.

Bella
was rescued from the pound just as she was about to be killed.
A kind shelter employee caught us and asked if we would take
her because she was on the kill table, labeled "vicious",
but the employee knew she wasn't. We took her right away.
Little Bella was the opposite of vicious! Scared and starved
for attention, she cowered every time we came near her, but
her little tail wagged. She was adopted into a loving home
and lives like the princess she is!

Whew!
Pryor was a rescue like no other! We received a call
that there was an abandoned house with a dog in the front
yard without food or water. We investigated and as it turned
out, the owners of the house were evicted and decided to
simply leave Pryor there alone -- fate unknown. We tried
to take him, but he was so scared, he would run and hide.
And then, like the loyal dog he was, growl and bark. He
waited by the gate for days, hoping his family would come
back, but they never did. After gathering many volunteers
together, we were able to get Pryor and put him in a kennel
until we could figure out what to do with him. He wouldn't
let us touch him, so he was not adoptable. Luckily, Richard
and Jennifer Pryor got involved and contacted a rescue
ranch in Texas. They said they would take him! So, off
he flew to Texas, where after a few months, he was a completely
different dog- full of kisses and cuddles. He still awaits
his forever home, but in the meantime, gets to play with
the others in between snacks of Texas home-cookin!

Benji
was considered a lost cause. He was sick, in the "isolation
room" at the South L.A. pound. Animals in isolation
are never seen by the general public, and once their time
is up, they are killed. Luckily, we got in there in time
and got Benji out. He lives in a loving home!
We got
Magee out of the South L.A. pound. She is a joyful
spirit and lives with two
compassionate, wonderful humans!
Lucy and Mako, after
having been in foster care for almost 2 years, have been placed
in a wonderful home together! It just goes to show that
senior dogs still have a chance for a great life in their
"Golden Years."

Rufus brought a very special kind of joy and light into our lives.
