Story
Gordo is about 4 years old and does not get along with other male dogs which has resulted to multiple dog fights. Maybe due to the fact that we have his mother whom he is very protective over. So if you have male dogs i wouldn’t recommend having him around them. Gordo is very active and likes to jump on people, if you are scared of him he will start to teethe and bite, but he won’t attack people. He also likes to bite shoes. He only listens to two people and is generally calm around them, me and my 17 year old daughter that raised him. He seems to be fine with only being around female dogs and could possibly be safe to be around them if separated from his mother. If you have other animals and kids, specially small ones, i would not recommend adopting Gordo or leaving him alone with them. We are trying to get him re-homed to someone who can work with him and possibly help him with his aggressive behavior. This is our last resort , if he cannot get adopted he will get put down.

Story
Leia is a sweet, loving, calm, happy girl. She likes walks, car rides and love. She loves to sit next to her person and snuggle. She loves to sleep on the bed. She does need help up and down from there, if it is very high. She can get up and down onto and from lower surfaces like chairs and sofa. She can go up and downstairs fairly easily. She is starting to eat some dog food but prefers people food. She is afraid of eating out of bowls for food but does drink out of bowl. So she likes to be hand fed, or eat off of the floor. NO OTHER PETS ORCHILDREN.She was raised alone by a senior lady friend of ours who had to go into a rest home. We took her in with intention to keep her forever. However, that did not work with our other dog who is jealous of and aggressive with Leia. My heart is broken as I love her very much. But I want her to be safe, healthy and happy.A middle Aged/elderly person/couple would be best. With NO other pets, NO children around. She does not need any trauma.

Story
We brought Ozzy home because my son has depression and thinking this would help him. But unfortunately my son in all honestly doesn't have time for him and I'm my mom's care taker she has terminal cancer so when mom hangs out in the backyard we have to put Ozzy away and I don't think that's fair for Ozzy not because his a bad or dangerous dog but moreover because his a puppy and plays a lot and he can trip my mom to fall. Also my mom when she came to live with me brought her elderly dog that unfortunately is not very friendly with Ozzy. I just want a good home for him because he truly deserves the opportunity to be the loving and playful dog that he is. Ozzy is about 7 months old.

Miracle

German Shepherd Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 5 yrs 3 mos
Bakersfield, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Miracle was fittingly named after her rescue on Christmas Day. She was spotted clinging to brush in the middle of the freezing cold Kern River by one of Lucky’s Crew, who jumped in without hesitation to save her. She is estimated to be 5 years old and is 50 lbs. Miracle might be a bit shy at first, but warms up quickly to a kind greeter. She is sweet and affectionate and enjoys downtime cuddles. She loves to play with other dogs in a rough-and-tumble style with lots of tag-your-it chasing. She is high-energy and would prefer daily walks/exercise. She has not been tested with cats, but does have a high prey drive.
