Tails (ID# A1072914 ), a male poodle mix, found himself at the South Los Angeles animal shelter ‘horribly matted and filthy on the outside -- so shy yet so sweet underneath,’ according to shelter volunteer Andrea Braver. (He got his name because, in addition to his unkempt condition upon entering the shelter, he also had a large, raw wound on his tail. He’s currently on medication for the spot, but it will need continued treatment to ensure it heals properly.)

About Tails: He’s around 2 years old and, thanks to the shelter’s staff, is freshly groomed, trimmed and bathed (so he looks a sight better than he did at the start of his shelter stay). Braver describes him as ‘a snuggler and a sweetheart’ who loves nothing more than the comfort of sitting in a friendly human’s lap. And his favorite volunteer isn’t his only fan -- shelter staff are so smitten with this little guy that they called him out in a special tweet Tuesday. Unfortunately for Tails, the South L.A. shelter is one of the most crowded in Southern California, so he needs a new home (and a lap of his own) stat!
