Oh nooooooooo!!!!!! We are out of blankets! The doggies and kitties are in need of blanket donations. It going to start to get cooler soon, and we definitely will need to have blankets on hand. We have so many doggies who would love the comfort of a nice comfy blanket to lay on. We go through blankets rather quickly each day, so, we are in constant need of blanket donations. We use blankets, covers, sheets, big bath towels, dog beds, and pillowcases. They can be new or used. If used, preferably already washed, so that we may use them right away and not have to put it in the dirty linen area to wait for the laundry service to pick it up. We appreciate any donations! Thank you to those who have donated. Your donations have made our doggies so happy. You can either drop off donations in or in front of the front lobby inside of the blue donation cans, or, you can ship them to the Kern County Animal Services at 3951 Fruitvale Ave Bakersfield, CA 93308. Please like and share so that this blanket donation plea goes far in the feed :D

Please share Cannoli so more people can see him! He's very short on time as he is sick with URI. Fosters must be residents of Kern County to foster through our shelter

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SHELTER DOGS, DONATE DOG TREATS 🥺🐶🐾

We don't have a lot of treats and the shelter doggies sure do love a nice treat to snack on. Many of them are sad or bored in their kennels and a nice lil treat really makes 'em happy! If you have a Costco membership, there are some treats currently on the shelf as seen in pics 3-6, but, Costco isn't the only place you can purchase treats from! Those are just a few examples. We and the doggies would greatly appreciate any treats donated to us 🙂✌️🐾

Ruh-roh! We're low on treats! The shelter doggies really do enjoy and love a nice lil treat, a snacky snack, their little highlight of the day. Our shelter doggies sit in their kennels day after day being bored out of their minds. Their eyes light up whenever they recieve a treat! We are very low on treats for all the shelter dogs so we could use some treat donations. If you have a Costco membership, please consider donating any of the treats seen in this photo! We accept other treats as well, not just the ones sold at Costco. You can drop them off at the shelter yourself or have it delivered to us! If you visit us physically, we have blue donation cans that sit either outside in the front of the building or inside the front lobby you can place them in. Please share so we may have some yummy snacks to treat our amazing shelter doggies with 😄🥰✌️
