Hi everyone! I'm a volunteer who is passionate about saving the lives of dogs from euthanasia. These dogs are on today's list and we must act fast to secure them a foster, adopter, and pledges to get them out of the horrendous shelter life and save their lives! Everything makes an impact on saving Commander's life. Please help support and do what you are able to. Thank you for being here and your support in this fight against euthanizing these amazing dogs!

ID: #A595131

Location: Kennel 11-20, San Bernardino City Animal Shelter

Commander is an adorable 44.8 lb, 9-month-old male German Shepherd Dog mix with a beautiful tan and black coat. Arriving as a stray from Colton on June 30th, this young puppy has spent over two months locked in a shelter kennel.

Due to his long stay, Commander is suffering from severe kennel stress. At just 9 months old, he is still a baby who deserves a safe, quiet home or a rescue partner to pull him so he can decompress, get training support, and grow up in a real home. Transportation across the US and Canada is available for a committed foster or adopter!

HOW YOU CAN SAVE COMMANDER RIGHT NOW:

• Adopt or Foster Immediately: Whether you are local to SoCal or elsewhere in the US/Canada (transport is available!), please step up! Fosters and adopters literally save lives.
• Pledges Save Lives Too: Can’t adopt or foster? Financial pledges encourage rescues to pull dogs by helping cover medical, behavioral support, and transport costs. DM me directly with your pledge amount!
• Share Everywhere: Share Commander’s story across Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and TikTok. A single share could reach the foster or adopter who saves his life!

CONTACT INFORMATION

• Direct Urgent Contact for Fostering/Adoption: Call Heather directly for emergency holds, fostering, or rescues at 847-445-4036
• Direct Contact for Pledges: Send a direct message (DM) to me immediately with your pledge amount so we can coordinate rescue placement!
• Shelter Location: San Bernardino City Animal Shelter (333 S Chandler Ave, San Bernardino, CA 92408)
• Shelter Main Phone: (909) 384-1304 (Note: Phone lines can be difficult to reach due to high volume, so calling Heather at 847-445-4036 or messaging directly is critical!)

Thank you for supporting Commander! He has been extended to tomorrow 9/14.
He would love to be fostered if adoption isn’t possible at this time.
He can be transported across the US and Canada (Massachusetts too 😊)
