Story
Meet Sammy – The Perfect Blend of Fun and Loyalty! Sammy is a 2-year-old terrier mix with a heart full of love and a playful spirit to match! With his scruffy charm and lively personality, people often guess he’s part Westie—whatever his mix, he’s 100% adorable. Weighing in at about 20 pounds, Sammy’s little body carries him quickly, especially when there’s a ball to chase! This smart and well-mannered boy is crate trained, does great in the house, and has excellent recall—always eager to come running when you call. He’s treat and food motivated, making training a breeze. Sammy gets along well with other dogs and enjoys playful romps, though we’re not sure how he feels about cats just yet. Sammy has a curious and adventurous nature, loving car rides and exploring new places. But don’t let his energetic side fool you—he’s quiet in the house, happy to relax by your side after a good game of fetch. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, and well-behaved companion who’s always up for an adventure (or a treat!), Sammy has a lot to offer. Could he be your perfect match? Come meet him and see for yourself! All inquiries either fill out an application and someone will get back to you, or call/text Sonya 661-840-7052

Story
Unfortunately, I am forced to rehome my 1 year Doberman. His name is Ares and he is a very playful and active dog. I cant keep him due to me moving away for college and my family doesn't want to take care of him. I would rather he be with a caring family that wants him and loves dogs. I am adding a rehoming fee only because I dont want just anyone to take him and because I don't want to leave him at a shelter. He deserves better. His shots are up to date and he isnt neutered. The breeder docked his tail but his ears remain floppy and natural. He really eats a lot and is very food motivated. He knows the verbal commands sit, wait, stop, lay down, and bed. I would usually have him wait for his food and use his release word go as to allow him to begin eating. His recall needs some work but treats usually work well. If this will be your first dog, I dont recommend it. He can be a handful and requires a more experienced hand. Just fyi.

Forrest

German Shepherd Dog Doberman Pinscher

Male, Adult
Bakersfield, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Forrest is 3 years old. We knew him from friends who fostered him at 6 months old. He was adopted out to family of theirs in AZ who ended up not being able to keep him. He was sheltered then adopted out again to a family in LA. He was picked up as a stray there. Our friends contacted us because the shelter had their info from the microchip and my partner had wanted to get another dog. We adopted him from the Orange County Shelter. After he gets to know you he is very sweet and loving. Really loves cuddling and sleeping in bed. He is very high energy loves to run and play. He is very food motivated! He needs constant enrichment. He has shown reactivity/aggression towards our other dog and dogs in general but is otherwise people friendly. We were not given a hx of his behavior with other owners but we are not willing to risk our other dog's safety. He would be better off with a family who is active and has no other animals. He just wants to be the center of your attention.

Bakersfield, CA
Size

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Odie is a great dog, he is also a very good security dog. I just do not have the extra time for him. He was abandoned on us by his old owner. Ive had him since he was 6 months he is now 5 1/2 years old. He has not been around kids so I do not know how he would be. He is okay with cats, but not buddies with them. I will get him up to date on shots before he is adopted. He just deserves somewhere that he has room to roam and someone who has time for him. It breaks my heart to even have to give him up but he deserves better than the shelter. He deserves a loving home. He is overnight crate trained. He has so much love to give. He would be a great ranch hand dog. He loves to be inside at night in his crate.

Story
My dog's name is Doug. He's almost a year and a half. He's about 70 pounds. Doug is a great family dog who loves going on walks and going to the dog park. He loves to play with his toys and to run around when there's room. He is currently not getting the attention he needs now. We just had a baby and I am always out of town working. He needs more stimulation than what he's getting. I am afraid that the situation were in is unchanging. I love him enough to give him to a new home and family that can give him what he needs. Whoever ends up with him will be lucky to have him. He's a great companion and a great dog. I will miss dearly if a new home is found for him.
