This little girl is Mamma Mia. She’s very difficult to get good pictures of because she stays glued to you.🤣 she’s very affectionate, playful, loving. Around 2yrs old, gets along with dogs, people of all ages. Crate trained and also does well freely in the house. Here is a little bit more about her. Meet Mama Mia – The Ultimate Velcro Dog! Mama is a sweet, affectionate girl who is ready to leave her past behind and become someone’s beloved fur baby. Before coming to us, she had one litter of puppies—two of whom are also available for adoption—but now it’s her turn to be the one who is pampered and adored. With her plush, soft coat that feels just like a plushy stuffed toy, Mama is made for cuddles. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and an absolute dream companion. While she enjoys playing with other dogs, her heart truly belongs to her person—she thrives on attention and just wants to be by your side. Mama is incredibly smart, listens intently, and will do anything asked of her. She follows directions beautifully and is always eager to please. Whether you’re looking for a snuggly couch buddy, a loyal shadow, or a gentle, loving soul to call your own, Mama is ready to fill that role with all her heart.

Details

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

Story

CoCo has been with us for 6 months, and we can’t believe he hasn’t found his forever home yet. He’s smart, silly, and incredibly loving — everything you’d want in a companion. We’re not exactly sure of his breed, but our best guess is a Labrador/Husky mix. What we do know is that CoCo is one-of-a-kind. He was leash trained in minutes, loves people, and has a personality that keeps you smiling. He even waits for you to get your camera ready before striking a pose! Before coming into rescue, CoCo was found on the streets with another dog — likely his closest friend. When that dog was tragically hit by a car and didn’t survive, CoCo refused to leave his side. His loyalty and love run deep, and he’s been carrying that same gentle heart with him ever since. CoCo would thrive in a home where he can be included in daily life. He has a lot of love to give and would make a loyal, fun, and affectionate best friend. If you’re not ready to adopt, consider fostering. It helps dogs like CoCo transition from kennel life to home life — and truly makes a difference. CoCo is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to meet you. Come fall in love with him today

Forrest

German Shepherd Dog Doberman Pinscher

Male, Adult

Bakersfield, CA

Size

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

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Forrest is about 4 years old. We adopted him from the Orange County Shelter. He is very sweet/loving with people and kids. He is very protective of his home. He loves cuddling and sleeping in bed but is also very high energy loves to run and play. He is very food motivated! He needs constant enrichment. He has shown reactivity/aggression towards other dogs but is very people friendly. We were not given a history 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. He is house trained and knows a few tricks and does well in the crate if needed.

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

Story

I am about 7 years old. My owners can’t really tell my age because I look so young. My previous owner passed then I was blessed with an abuse free household. I take some time warming up to others. Because of past abuse we will have to take things slow. If you have a big yard that is a plus. If I can I’ll go with you everywhere. I can be very energetic when I want to be. I am always curious. I’m looking for someone to devote all their time to me because I like to be spoiled with attention. Very into cuddles. And my party trick is that I can hug on command.

Blitzen

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 4 yrs

Bakersfield, CA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Meet Blitzen. And yes—he lived up to the name. Blitzen was found in the middle of nowhere. No house. No people. Just a tired, older German Shepherd trying to survive on his own. A good Samaritan did the right thing and took him to the shelter, hoping that would mean safety. Instead, because Blitzen is around 7 years old and developed a simple upper respiratory infection in the shelter, he was scheduled to be euthanized on Christmas Day. Let that sink in. Old. Sick. Inconvenient. Disposable. Except… he wasn’t. We pulled him in a last-minute blitz (so yeah, the name fits). When he walked out of that shelter, it was impossible not to see the truth: Blitzen is gentle, loving, and completely drama-free. He doesn’t bark for attention. He doesn’t demand anything. He just leans into you like he’s been waiting years for someone to choose him. When we got him, he was emaciated and riddled with tapeworms—his body told the story his mouth never could. He’s now receiving treatment, eating well, and slowly remembering what it feels like to be cared for. And here’s the thing that will wreck you in the best way: Despite everything, Blitzen trusts people. He loves: Walks and easy runs Car rides (he’s an excellent co-pilot) Hugs, affection, and quiet companionship Being close to his human—no chaos, no nonsense, just connection Blitzen is currently with a temporary foster in Dayton, NV, but this is not a long-term solution. He urgently needs another foster or—better yet—a forever home where he can spend the rest of his days safe, fed, and deeply loved. He’s not asking for much. Just a couch. A hand on his head. And a promise that he’ll never be thrown away again. If you’ve ever said you’d adopt a senior dog “one day”… this is that day. If you believe older dogs still deserve happy endings… this is your chance to prove it. 👉 Apply to foster or adopt Blitzen: https://muttsandrunts.org/application Blitzen survived when he shouldn’t have. Now let’s give him the life he always deserved.

Ares

Doberman Pinscher

Male, Puppy

Bakersfield, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

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.
