LANCASTER – More than 100 dogs from a commercial breeding kennel that was in the evacuation zone at the height of the recent Bobcat Fire were turned over for adoption, authorities said Friday.
The displaced dogs — which had been taken to Los Angeles County animal shelters in Lancaster and Baldwin Park as a result of the fire — were relinquished several weeks later by the kennel’s owner, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control.
Shelter employees worked with the less socialized dogs to help make them better companions, officials said. All of the dogs will be spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated before they move into their forever homes.
Photos of the dogs — many of which are ready for adoption — can be found on the department’s website at animalcare.lacounty.gov.

Hello so HAPPY to hear what you did for those lil doggie’s, a dear friend and neighbor told me about this, and all of the 8 puppies we have had as family members in our 47 years together.
Have all been rescues.
Do you have a list or even pictures of what you have available, we Prefer small ones and we currently own a Cairn terrier/Maltese mix.
So something about that size, and where are you located anyway ?
Warmest Regards,
Jan & Cathy Harde

The major growth industry after every disaster is always the free dog industry. The morning after Florida and Texas disasters most damage is negated in free dog residuals.
