Story
Smalls is a really good boy. Just experiencing littermate syndrome with his brother. He does well with female large breed dogs. Hes house, potty,kennel trained. Still needs a little work with leash training but does wonderful on a gentle leash lead. He’s very calm, can be quite talkative especially right when he wakes up. Hes kind of independent so hes not clingy but will come to you when he needs cuddles and loves kisses all over his head. Hes seriously such a good boy. It breaks my heart I’m having to rehome him but im concerned for both of their safety at this point. He will be available after December 3rd. I will not rehome him until I get him neutered on that day.

Story
We adopted Jack in the summer of 2025 as a companion for our female Boxer, Penny, who is the same age. Jack is an incredibly sweet, affectionate boy, but we've learned that he truly needs to be the only dog in the home. Before coming to us, Jack was an only dog and is happiest when he doesn't have to share attention or resources. While Jack and Penny have had a few scuffles, Jack is not an aggressive dog or an instigator - he simply thrives best as the sole pet. In the right environment, his loving personality really shines. He adores cuddling, being pet, playing tug-of-war, and enjoying tasty treats (blueberries are a favorite!). Jack would do best with a single owner or a couple without children who can give him the one-on-one attention he deserves. He's looking for a home where he can be someone's one and only, and he'll return that devotion with endless love.

Story
Stella is a lover and a big lap dog. She needs all the love and attention at all times. She gets along with other dogs when at a dog park or on walks but our dogs don’t always get along with her. It’s recommended that she’s an only dog in the home. When it comes to her food she is definitely not a sharer. She is also good with kids, but she’s an attention hog. So when you get on the ground to play with kids or play on the floor she will be coming right over to sit in your lap.

Story
Cattle Dog mix, femaleWelcome Wednesday! A beautiful, 1-year old, 38lb heeler mix found roaming the streets of Bakersfield and picked up by Animal Control Here is what her foster has to report: Wednesday is such a sweet, smart, healthy, and beautiful girl! She learned several commands in just three days - “sit”, “outside”, “ inside”, and “come”. She’s coming along quickly in the house training department too. Wednesday takes treats gently and doesn’t chew anything in the house. She does enjoy a good game of taking her foster mom’s socks and slippers and moving them to a new spot. She is very affectionate. She does well with other dogs and seemingly birds too, but NOT cats - she barks and chases. Wednesday is now located in Templeton, CA. She is microchipped, spayed, and UTD on vaccines. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1623567755271539&type=3 Interested in Wednesday?  Please complete an application at: http://bit.ly/CCHDR_AppDecember 22, 2025, 5:32 pm

Story
Border Collie mix puppy, maleWelcome Fonzie!   The Fonz is a 5-week-old border collie maybe poodle (Boodle?) mix who was found abandoned in Exeter - alone. According to his foster, he is just precious. He’s 3lbs of pure confidence. No fear this guy! He’s brave, loves to play, loves to nap, and eats like a champ. He needs a few more weeks in foster to ensure he is properly socialized. We can consider an early adoption if there are other balanced dogs already in the home to help guide the little guy to greatness. Fonzie will be microchipped, on a vaccine schedule, and can go home on a neuter contract. Located in Arroyo Grande, CA.

Story
Border Collie femaleWelcome Derby from Tulare County Animal Services. Another world class, compact border collie found as a stray but now on to bigger and better. Derby is a 2 year old, 30lb, female border collie. She is insta-glue! Very sweet and social with people and great with other dogs. Unfortunately, no cats - we learned quickly that her instinct to chase was alive and well out the gate. She was quick to get on a routine - sleeping through the night in a crate, going potty where she’s supposed to, and snuggling as we watch the sunrise and drink our morning tea. Have we mentioned adult dogs are the best? She LOVES chew bones & toys and seems to be very appreciative to be indoors and have a dedicated person to follow around. She’s so biddable and snaps to attention when you call her over or give an “uh-uh” or “shht” if she’s doing something she’s not supposed to. Derby is going to make an amazing companion for a border collie lover! Derby is located in Arroyo Grande, CA. Microchipped, spayed, and UTD on vaccines.
