For Freedom Friday we’ve rescued a familiar face. A face that should never have re-entered the shelter system. A face whose look of betrayal will haunt us forever. This face speaks for the countless other faces with the same stories who will never have a voice, never have a 2nd Chance..…

Boris was adopted from the Bakersfield City shelter in 2020 as a 1-2 year old dog. He was adopted the same year our Operations Manager, Conner Long, was employed with the city. He was memorable because he was such a good dog. An ambassador for his breed, making it out of the shelter through adoption. Fast forward to 2023. Boris was picked up as a stray by animal control. Conner Long is now employed with Marleys Mutts. Boris was chipped from the previous adoption so shelter staff tried to reach his family. His family chose not to respond. Boris the super great pittie who thought he had a 2nd Chance is now abandoned once again. At 5 years old he’s considered middle age. He’s lost his youth and lost years with a family who really didn’t care. He was desperate for his luck to change.

That’s the thing about fate. Everything happens for a reason. Conner’s journey to us meant Boris’ journey wouldn’t end. This sweet boy was remembered and we couldn’t just leave him behind. He is safe and we promise he is wanted. Now we do the hard work of finding just the right home to give Boris the 2nd Chance he needed from the very beginning.
