Bakersfield, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Misty was spotted in a large open field close to a freeway. She was seen hobbling. I attempted to go get her but the moment she spotted me, she ran with her back leg up. It almost seems impossible to catch her, so, we left food on that field every day for 3 weeks until we placed a trap. She was so emacited, so sad, so broken. She went into a foster home and that is where she flourished. She loves dogs, she is housetrained, she is learning commands quickly and she loves to cuddle. She turned out to be the perfect dog! She didn't need surgery for her leg, only steroid shots that will last a few weeks. She is ready to call a family hers.

Story

We’d like to shine a light on a couple of adult large breed dogs dear to us with another small, local rescue Boxers Mutts & Wiggle Butts Rescue Please help share their dogs, give them a follow, and show them some of the amazing support you show us.❤️🐾❤️ First, we have Sookie! We first learned of Sookie 8 months ago. A property owner saw her and another dog thrown out of a pickup truck abandoned in the orchards. The man admitted to shooting at her several times. She was skin and bones when found. Unable to take her in ourselves, we offered to sponsor her food during her time in rescue. At the time we had donations from The Honest Kitchen and that was the best food to help her to gain weight and get back to being healthy. @boxersmuttsnwigglebuttsrescue have done an amazing job getting Sookie healthy and happy again. Sookie is a boxer, 3.5 years old. She LOVES belly rubs but she’s no couch potato, she’d prefer being your running buddy. She knows sit, wait, come, crate and potty trained. She’s great with kids and is gentle with toys. Reach out to her rescue to learn more! 🐾❤️ Get to know Sookie and we are sure she will win your heart. Here is a little bit about her: * LOVES people, adults and kids * very high energy * needs to be the only dog. Not dog/cat friendly * knows sit * knows wait * comes when called * crate trained * is soft with toys and learning fetch * Loooves belly rubs

Tejon

Rhodesian Ridgeback German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult

Bakersfield, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tejon is about 3 years old. He was found on July 27, 2022 in the street (around 6mths) and was deemed too big and energetic to be left at the shelter. He needs an active owner that can spend his energy and give him lots of attention. He isn't housetrained so fully inside is not recommended. He can be chill he just needs consistency. He has been good with other big young dogs as they make good play partners. If a dog barks at him aggressively in the street, he does become tense, but he has just walked away with me before. Not the best with smaller/older dogs or (our dogs) kids because when he is really excited, he forgets about his size. He is better at it now, but it still needs work. Luckily, he doesn't jump on people. He can sit and is very food driven but not aggressive with food or food bowls. He likes water and has a big tub to sit/lay in. Consistent exercise/attention is very important for him. He is a young dog in a house full of senior dogs. He needs someone at his level.

Female, Adult

Bakersfield, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bree is an outdoor dog due to human’s allergies however could be trained to indoors since she is already crate trained. She is super sweet and chill, she’s not the dog to go on walks, she’d rather be in your lap or sunbathing. She’s shy at first, but eventually warms up. We will provide a 24lb bag of food as well as her crate “house”. She does well with smaller dogs, but probably not cats.
