Story
Jenga is a wonderful boy who was rescued from a high impound shelter in Kern County. He was a matted mess. He was never groomed and it was discovered that this poor boy had so many twigs and foxtails embedded in fur that caused great pain and discomfort. He must be feeling so much better now. This hasn't dampened his spirits at all. He is so loving, sweet and even. Jenga is great with other dogs and people. He's always looking for a way to get his play on. He walks well on a leash. He is under 2 years and weighs 12 pounds All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@crdogrescue.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

Story
Polly Bio: Adopt Polly! She is a 12-year-old Maltese mix who’s ready to spend her golden years by your side! This sweet senior girl has a low energy level and loves to spend most of her day napping, but don’t be fooled, when it’s time for a walk, she lights right up and prances out the door with the biggest smile. She’s fully house-trained and knows how to sit, and she’s the definition of an easygoing, happy companion. Polly is incredibly friendly with everyone she meets, familiar faces, strangers, kids, and other dogs alike. She greets every person and pup with a wagging tail and a kind, gentle demeanor. She is truly just a happy girl who enjoys life and people 🥹 Polly is also bonded with her best friend Bella, a 7-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix. Bella’s calm and loving nature perfectly complements Polly’s cheerful spirit, they love going on walks together, curling up for naps, and simply being near their people. Wherever one goes, the other happily follows. While Polly loves to be with her people, she’s learned to feel comfortable and secure when left alone. She’ll happily curl up to nap until her person returns. When she hears the leash jingle, though, she can’t contain her excitement, walks are truly the highlight of her day. Polly and Bella would thrive in a calm home, ideally with someone retired or working from home, where they can enjoy the company they love so much. They’re a devoted duo who have so much love to give and are looking for a forever home where they can stay together. If you’re ready to open your heart to two affectionate, loyal companions, Polly and Bella will fill your days with warmth, laughter, and love. Head to hitlivingfoundation.org/adopt to submit an application! ✨ Adoption donation: $250
