Story
💕 Stella Sweetheart 💕Stella Sweetheart is a 1-year-old Maltipoo who absolutely lives up to her name. This little girl was found wandering as a stray in Kern County, badly matted and covered in ticks and foxtails. Thankfully, some kind neighbors stepped in, got her off the streets, cleaned her up, and helped her find her way into rescue. And somehow, after everything she went through, Stella came out of it all still believing people are pretty great. She is sweet, affectionate, trusting, and just an all-around lovely little dog. Stella loves attention, enjoys being around people, but tends to choose a favorite and can resource guard that person. Having a one person household is ideal. She's clever, and quite springy too! She would do best in a home with a tall secure fence. She doesn’t need a complicated sales pitch. She’s simply a really nice dog looking for someone who wants a really nice dog. Looking to Adopt? Step 1) Apply Online. Submit a rescue questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers. Step 2) Phone Interview. If selected, our rescue counselor will contact you to schedule a phone interview. Please monitor your email and spam folder for our message. Step 3) Meet-and-Greet Appointment. Shelter Hope is operating by appointment only.

Story
Meet Roo. 💙 Roo is a 7-year-old little survivor who endured years of severe abuse. A wire was tied around his muzzle so tightly that he needed emergency surgery. We saved him from his abuser, and now we’re showing him the kindness and love he should have known his entire life. Roo may be scared when meeting someone new, but with treats, patience, and a gentle touch, he warms up quickly. Once he trusts you, he gives you his whole heart. He loves toys, treats, relaxing in his bed, snuggling, and staying close to his person. Although Roo can be around other dogs, he would prefer to be the only pet because, for the first time in his life, he wants a family’s love all to himself—and who could blame him? Roo has spent seven years waiting to feel safe and loved. Will you be the person who finally gives him the forever home he deserves? 🐾
