Every single day there are hundreds if not thousands of darling doggos waiting for their pawrents to come and choose them to be their canine children. And today, if you are in the LA area, we have brought together a collection of some of the cutest doggos waiting for a home in your city.

Quite frankly it is appalling the state we are in when it comes to dog adoptions. Shelters are overrun and putting puppers to sleep to make space available to new comers, rescuers are underfunded and unable to keep their lights on let alone take on new puppers. And worst of all, pedigree doggos are being born everyday with ever worsening genetic conditions. Which ironically is how many of these doggos made their way to the shelter in the first place.

So it is time we take some action to turn the tide on this world wide problem, and we decided that the best way to do that is to show you who is waiting for a home in your local area. So if you happen to live in or near Los Angeles, then all the doggos you will see below are waiting to be loved forever at Wags & Walks dog rescue. All you have to do is get in touch with them and change a doggo's life furever. We do not do this because we are paid to, we do this because every pupper deserves to be loved, every pupper deserves a decent home and simply too many puppers are living really rough lives on the street.

Holy moly, 817 days in the shelter is one heck of a long time. Not just in pupper time but also in hooman time. Could you imagine spending more than two years of your life living and sleeping in cramped conditions making the best of the not so amazing situation that you are in? Sure, his carers try to do the best they can to keep him happy, but that is tough with limited resources. Maybe you could take him home instead and make him happy forever? It wouldn’t take much just a few hours from your work day and you’ll have a best friend fur life. That’s a pretty sweet deal if you ask us.

Erugh how could you not want to take home this little pack of snuffles right here. Just between the golden look in her eyes and that happy smile we can tell she is a true gem of a good girl and has the kind of soul that can keep you company even when you are apart. Bringing Sharon home could be the start of a heartfelt adventure full of cuddles, pets and snoring on the couch. Which sounds pretty darn great if you ask us. So what are you waiting for? Go find her, or another dog, just go out and adopt one today! Anything is better than work…
