Barkley...
Have you heard about our latest? Barkley is an 82
pound Mastiff/American Bulldog mix that was in a high kill shelter.
Although we don't normally save large breeds, the face of this big guy
reached into several hearts in the TLC volunteer crew. Barkley had
demodex (the non contagious form of mange) and probably has had it all
of his life (he's 18 months old). Barkley is like a 'Ferdinand the
Bull' kind of guy and a sweet, but huge, goober! Keep up with Barkley's
antics and watch for him to become adoptable once we get rid of his
skin disorder (approximately 5 weeks).

Volunteers Needed
We need shopkeepers!
TLC is the only full time rescue that runs 7 days a week in Ventura
County. We are able to do this because we have an amazing group of
dedicated, hard working volunteers. Our rescue shop is located in the
Simi Town Center Mall and we're open from noon until 8PM Monday through
Saturday (on Sundays, noon until 6PM). Although we are officially
open 54 hours a week, many of us are here at 8AM to open and take care
of our furbabies... and others stay until close each night. Do you have
a certain amount of hours each week that you can devote to TLC by being
a shopkeeper? It's not a nice 'white collar' job - we clean up piddle
and poo, bathe dogs, feed and medically take care of our babies, and
just about everything else associated with running a small dog breed
rescue. The biggest requirement is a love of dogs and a willingness to
make a change in their lives... are you up to the task?
If so, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, B.J. at bjpace4@me.com.
You'll be provided with training, an apron and a close-knit family of
dedicated volunteers. We promise you that you'll get back much more
from these puppers than you give out!

We need help!
We can't do this without your help! Our expenses to
save dogs and puppies always exceeds our adoption donations. Electric
bills are over a $1,000 a month... We run our washer and dryer nonstop
(about 16-17 loads per day) keeping everything nice and clean for the
dogs in our care... Our weekly food bill is about $250 for many of our
dogs need special foods as they recover and get healthy... Vaccines,
microchips, vet bills - you name it and we got it. EVERY penny counts
and greatly helps in our efforts to help save these dogs from dying in
local shelters. PLEASE
donate - we won't survive if you don't. You can donate through PayPal
as a 'gift' and they won't deduct the service charge by going to their website and entering ' tinylovingcanines@yahoo.com' for our account. Or you can go to our donation page on the website here.
PLEASE HELP - THESE DOGS AND PUPPIES NEED YOUR HELP!
