Maisie, a 2-year-old Black Lab, is terrified at OC Animal Care and needs immediate rescue before she is placed on the euthanasia list. She was picked up as a stray in Santa Ana and initially allowed a good Samaritan to pick her up and transport her. However, once at the shelter, her fear and stress escalated in the unfamiliar and overwhelming environment.
Maisie’s Current Situation
- Status: RESQ-BHV (Rescue Needed for Behavioral Concerns)
- Kennel: 110 (Building 1 – “Death Row,” where public and volunteers are not allowed)
- Weight: 70 lbs
- Intake Date: 01/24/2025
- Review Date: 01/28/2025
- Rescue Deadline: 2/13/2025
Shelter Behavior Notes
Maisie is terrified, shut down, and defensive in her kennel:
🛑 Growling and showing teeth when approached
🛑 Biting at leash and catch pole out of fear
🛑 Dilated eyes, tense body, unwilling to interact
🛑 Attempts to retreat from human contact
What Maisie Needs
Maisie’s behavior is fear-based, not aggression. She has been through an extremely stressful transition and needs a patient, experienced rescue to give her the time and space to decompress. She should not be judged based on how she’s reacting in a high-stress shelter environment.
💔 She has been placed in “Death Row,” with no public or volunteer access
💔 No exercise, no comfort, no chance to show her true self
💔 She will be euthanized if not rescued by 2/13/25
