Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

  • Hi I have a dog that I rescued in the beginning of January. I had been feeding him since October but he was so afraid he would let me touch him . After several months one day I was taking him food called him to come eat cause he wasn't around and when I was walking back home he comes up to me jumping and playing with me he followed me home . I have been fostering him for these couple of months but I have 5 other dogs and 3 cats . I have an alpha dog who has a hard time being around other male dogs . And well I have foster Charlie almost 4 months and my landlord doesn't allow me to have more pets. I had hopes of finding him a home but it turned out that the people who said they would help haven't . Can you take him in? I have pictures of him before on the streets when he was abandoned . We think he was probably beaten and left on the streets since he always came back to the same place my guess is he was waiting for them to come back. I really need help.

  • I viewed your website and found no recent reviews or comments. I have recently lost our country home and need to find shelter for our animals (4 to 6 of our dogs) over the years people had abandoned these animal's near our property and we felt it our obligation to nurture them and love them as family. Please help us. Its hard enough for us to give them up but they deserve a better life than we can now provide.

  • We have recently relocated to Bakersfield to be with my son that has a brain injury. We have ran into some problems though.. we cannot find a home that will allow us to have our pets. We had to accept a home that did not allow Pit Bulls because there aren't any home owners or Apts. that would accept that breed. They are two Pit Bulls ages 5 & 8 a male and a female, the female is fixed. Please contact me at [email protected] if you can help us find a good home for our pets. Thanks, Cam & Mel

  • Due to reasons out of my control I must find a new home for my 4yr old Staffordshire mix pup named Alley. She is running out of time in her current home. Alley would probably be happiest as the only dog, but bets along with dogs and cats. Alley is current on her shots, Spayed and micro chipped. If anyone is willing to foster/adopt, please let me know

  • Hi there! I have the sweetest, most loving and calm adult cat that needs a new home. My mom is moving to a new house and refuses to take her with us. Any tips or suggestions on where to look for homes, no kill shelters or if your organization is willing to take her to help find her a home, that would be amazing! We would be happy to make a donation as well. I've already contacted the SPCA, the cat people, and El Gato Villa Rescue, but they do not have any space for adult cats 😞 Thank you! Best wishes, Ashley Barton [email protected]

  • Hi, Unfortunately due to some circumstances right now in my life, i am not able to keep my two female dogs with me any longer, it breaks my heart, i need to find them a good home as soon as possible, they deserve it, these two wonderful girls are adorable, lovely, and friendly with anybody including other dogs and especially kids. Kei (the bluenose) is 10 months, Keila (the pit/lab) is 8 months. If you or anybody know some one who would take them in, please don't hesitate to reach me at (931) 249-3265. They've also grown up together like sisters so wherever they go, i would want them to stay together. thank you so much,

  • Hi, I have a beautiful 4 year old female brindle Pitbull that needs a forever home. She's the sweetest thing but very hyper with separation anxiety. Unfortunately she's also dog aggressive, which is why we can not keep her. She needs constant love and attention. We've had her since she was a pup and she is fully potty trained. Please help me find a home for our sweet Peaunut. [email protected]

  • 5 months ago I rescued "Blue" from being abandoned by his negligent owner. I have since kennel/potty trained him. He is 2years old or younger. Blue is tame,, good for indoor and outdoors,. He is child, cat & dog friendly. He currently lives with 2 children, 3 cats and a dog. I am looking for a forever home for him as personal circumstances have made it difficult to care for him. I have lots of pictures, feel free to contact me if you'd like to meet & greet with this sweet baby. [email protected]

  • Hello I have a male pitbull he's two and half years old. Tiny is neutered and loves to go hiking and for runs. Tiny also likes to play catch but doesn't like to bring it back he rather have you run after him all around the yard he loves that. Tiny is house broken he lets know by going to the door and begins to bark or cry. He knows how to sit and shake with both hands. Tiny is a very outgoing and adventurous fella. He also takes his treats from the hand very gentle. He's good with children and female dogs. Tiny does not get along with male dogs. If you give tiny a chance you won't regret it you'll see all the joy he will bring to you thank you and god bless. Contact number is (661)431-7948

  • I found a dog between 4-6 months old. He is black with white. Very mellow and friendly gets along well with other dogs and is just a total sweetheart. He is not a big dog and I doubt he will grow much. In the neighborhood where I found him I was told he was dumped by what appeared to be his negligent owners
