Looking for a new best friend? Look no further than Yoda!Meet Yoda! Yoda is a very affectionate 9 month old spayed MIX, maybe Heeler but who resist those ears ?She was rescued in an orchard area in Bakersfield and is looking for her forever home. She walks on a leash, sits, plays really well with other dogs, loves people…just a really good dog. Please reach out to us if you can give Yoda a forever home. This young female pup is full of energy and curiosity. Yoda is GREAT with other dogs and cats, she is great with people, and will happily curl up next to you or play an afternoon of fetch in the park. Although we can't be sure about her breed mix, we know that she'll grow up to be the smartest kid on the block. Friendly, playful, and always eager to please, Yoda is the perfect addition to your family, and will win over your heart with her adorable antics.

Story
Tori is clever, funny and has a lot of energy. She needs to exercise and loves to play fetch every day. She knows basic commands such as sit, stay, leave it. Slow introductions to other dogs is needed. She is very affectionate and enjoys tummy rubs. In November 2025, my husband suffered a massive heart attack and is currently in the hospital. He will need 24/7 care when he is discharged and his health is fragile. We can no longer care for Tori and it would be best for her to be with an active family that would love her as much as we do.

Story
We have been calling her Honey and the vet says she’s fixed, healthy, and about 5 years old. She’s smart and affectionate and has amazing recall and off-leash walking skills. She has the sweetest face and just needs some love. She was found with another dog we have been calling Bear (Male, healthy, neutered ~7 years old). They do not need to be adopted together but it could be nice!

Story
Meet Pichoo! She is the sweetest most adorable girll! She is a 6 month old that was rescued from a breeding farm before heading to a dog meat farm in South Korea.  We have partners we work with there that pull these dogs from the worst horrors imaginable.  Many of these dogs start off in horiffic puppy mill type facilities on tiny rabbit cage size wire crates in complete filth.  If they are not sold at 6 or 8 weeks then they either stay for a couple years to be used to breed more and then are sold off to the meat trade, or they are sold off right away.  Jindo's and Tosa's are the most common meat type dogs, and are very commonly bred specifically for their meat and the meat farms also act as breeding farms until they reach a good age and weight. South Korea is one of the only countries that actually farms dogs for their meat.   Restaurants will serve a dish called " bosintang ", which stands for "dog meat soup". It's a popular dish in South  Korea,  and is said to act as an aphrodisiac for men.    Little dogs are used for elixirs and potions.  The younger generation is mostly against this practice and many choose to not eat them, and we can only hope in time with education and generations of change that an end will come to this horrific trade.  Pichoo and some of her family and friends have been flown here for a chance at a future and a real life.  These are miracle dogs that they are alive today.  Our adoption fee is $600 which helps offset some of the flight costs.  If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application form at  https://form.jotform.com/oscarlucy/dog-adoption-app August 26, 2025, 2:59 pm
