00:00Baldwin Park Care Center is not a no-kill facility, we are a very high-intake shelter.
00:07Frankie is a blue-nosed pit bull, he's about 70-80 pounds, he has a ton of energy, he's
00:14really friendly, he likes people, but you can tell whoever he was with before didn't
00:18really spend a lot of time with him.
00:21Someone had put in a call that this dog was chained up behind some industrial buildings.
00:26He had a big pinch collar on, he was going crazy, he had no food, no water, no shelter,
00:31he'd been there all day.
00:32So our officer came and kind of befriended him, brought him back here.
00:37Here at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center, the facility here is very large.
00:42We have four dog runs with 48 kennels in each dog run.
00:46The mission for Baldwin Park is to ensure public safety as well as ensure the health
00:52of the animals that come into our care, and to ensure the animals are treated appropriately
00:59while living with their owners.
01:01Though we want to adopt every single animal that comes through these doors, we know we
01:06cannot save them all, but with the public's help, we can get on the right track to make
01:12that a false statement in the near future.
01:15Baldwin Park Care Center is not a no-kill facility, we are a very high-intake shelter,
01:20and a lot of people would say high-kill.
01:22Frankie is here where that happens, but we do try and keep the animals as long as we
01:26can and as long as we have space.
01:29No dog should have to live in a cage forever.
01:31Pit bulls in general don't do well in cages.
01:34It would be selfish for us to make him stay in a cage forever if he can't find out.
01:39Frankie is special to us because we know his story.
01:42We saw Frankie come to us from being tied up.
01:45We feel bad for him because that's a horrible way to be abandoned by the person that supposedly
01:49loved you.
01:50We get to take care of him, and someone else obviously didn't take care of him.
01:55Frankie would make a great pet for any athletic family, hiking, jogging, anything like that.
02:00He would love to lounge around on your floor, at your feet, he would love to play tug-of-war
02:04with you probably all day.
02:05I think he'd be a good pet.
