Story

Maybe is the cuddliest, most loyal girl you'll ever meet. She does great with most dogs, knows basic commands and can be taught pretty much anything, uses potty bells & understands a surprising amount of language. She’s good on a leash, a great roadtrip buddy & as active as you want her to be. Once she trusts you, she is an absolute cuddlebug. She needs a child-free, cat-free home with few visitors & someone willing to put in the time to earn her trust. She listens & does fine in a fenced yard or in a bedroom. She does great at her doggy daycare. We tried every way to make it work with our new baby, but it isn’t possible. I just know there has to be an experienced dog person out there who would make a perfect second and final home for my sweet girl. She’s very well behaved, but her challenges are new people, prey drive & some herding behavior. I’ve worked with many trainers and behaviorists (never a vet behaviorist) and would be happy to pay for more training for the right adopter.

Story

Benny is an amazing 1 year old mix of Great Pyrenees, Australian Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Border Collie, German Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog. He is house trained, crate trained, good on leash, knows sit, stay, lay down, shake, hand touches, and off. Benny loves other dogs and would enjoy being with another dog but is good as an only dog too. He would do better with no cats but has lived with them. He knows to be gentle with kids but is still young and gets excited and jumps at times. He is not a fan of swimming and likes women more than men. He is the sweetest boy who loves to play with his toys, chew a bone, and cuddle up for a nap, with a pillow of course. He has a lot of energy and needs more attention than I can give him right now. He would love a yard to run around and play fetch in. He’s a super smart, sweet boy looking for his perfect match.

Story

Panda is an adorable, 1-year-old herding-type pup—maybe an Aussie, maybe a Collie, or maybe a perfect mix of both! One thing is certain: he’s super smart and eager to learn. Panda loves other dogs and has an outgoing, energetic personality that makes him a joy to be around. We’re still unsure how he feels about cats.With his active nature, Panda would thrive in a home with sturdy, active people who are ready for adventures, playtime, and continued training. He’s a bright, happy boy looking for a family to keep up with his enthusiasm and give him the love he deserves.January 27, 2026, 12:59 pm

Bonded Pair

Story

This sweet bonded pair ended up at the Kern County Shelter after their human passed away. They had been with her since they were young and were very well-loved family members. Sadly, they started shutting down at the shelter, but luckily a kind foster stepped up and cared for them for several months before having to go oversees to care for family. That’s when Harli & Bear made their journey to Lily’s, first spending time with a temporary foster and now with a long-term foster until they find their forever home (hopefully soon!). With all the changes in their life, understandably, Harli & Bear take some time to warm up to new people. Once they do, they spend most of their day lounging, wanting to be near their humans. Bear loves toys and won’t go anywhere without his stuffy. He is curious and a bit more reserved than Harli. But once settled, he sure loves his belly rubs! While she can be shy at first, Harli is a couch potato and a “go with the flow” kind of gal, just happy to be a part of the crowd. Both are learning confidence in their foster home, slowly learning to greet new people and open up. They both get along well with other dogs. In one of their foster homes, they had 5 resident doggy siblings and did well but would prefer a smaller pack at home with maybe one other dog so they can get all the attention they deserve. The pair have been working to befriend the resident cat, waiting and hoping at the top of the stairs that the cat will appear and want to play. While the resident cat isn’t quite as into his new friends, they are beginning to slowly win him over with time and persistence! Despite all they’ve been through, these two remain sweet and gentle dogs, looking for their new furever home to call their own. They have received rave reviews from their fosters on how easy and lovable they remain. Here’s what one of their fosters had to say: "These two are the most adorable bonded pair I have ever seen. Harli is sweet and shy. She is often afraid to go outside to greet my other dogs, so Bear will be by her side and he is her best bud and will always be with her. I have seen him give her kisses on the face to reassure her. They are an easy pair. They want mostly to be with their person and to have their bellies rubbed or their back scratched. They are not aggressive. They eat their food together peacefully and do not guard their food or toys. Wherever they go, their new guardian would be so incredibly lucky to have them. I have only fostered them for six days and already love them so much. They're an easy loving pair. Please consider adopting them. You will love them!"
