Pet Matchmaker Rescue CA, Available upon request, Bakersfield, CA (2025)

It was a bitter sweet day here today as Cooper left for his forever home after being here in foster for almost 5 months.
He's got a great new buddy to play with with acreage and a loving stay at home family to dote over him and take him on all kinds of adventures.
While Bruce will miss his buddy, we are happy to finally see him find his forever 💙🩵

The state of rescue these days is one I never thought I'd see.... but here we are 😩

This pair of cutie patooties was dumped on the side of the road in Bakersfield CA and was picked up by a Good Samaritan.
They are approx 6 weeks old so they will be in foster for the next two weeks (legally, as we can not place them until they are 8 weeks. We also want to make sure they are nice and healthy, so they are receiving veterinary care and age appropriate shots as well as microchips.
We believe Shasta (left) and Rocky (right) are German Shepherd /Husky mixes.
They are both very much signifying the breed they display. Shasta is more bouncy and playful while Rocky is more chill and composed 🤪

Both are being well versed in the home life and are already learning crate training and how to behave around other animals. They will be up on the website later today at www.petmatchmaker.org. We will begin accepting applications for these adorable babies… They do not need to go together. And actually, we prefer that.

Check them out at www.petmatchmaker.org

Cooper is still patiently awaiting his forever home here at the foster. He's SO sweet and LOVES other dogs. He's still a big puppy and does like play with stuff, but his favorite thing in the world is running around with his buddies! He knows basic commands, he's housebroken, and his little nub wags SO hard when he sees kids!!! Get your application in for this adorable guy!!

Located in Flower Mound, TX!

Prayers to everyone just south of us.... adopters and rescuers... PLEASE stay safe ❤️ 🙏

This is why we need to be kind about these LA fires

The intense fire surprised Mario Alberto, who is a deaf man
in the middle of the night.

His humble house and his vehicle were on fire
but his only concern was his best friend, Gordo
who was still inside his house.

Desperate-
he even tried to put out the fire with a hose
but the flames were destroying everything, including his hopes of finding his dog alive.

He kept pointing out to the firefighters that nothing mattered more than his pet

and when he thought he would never see him again

suddenly in the midst of the raging flames

one of them came out with Gordo.

The look on Mr Alberto’s face tells you everything you need to know about love

and what is most important.

They rescued his friend 🐶

I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and sorry for the lack of posts… It's been quite chaotic these last couple weeks but we had an amazing adoption over the holiday! Chancey who was dumped in orchard in Bakersfield several months ago, was adopted to one of our repeat adopters! She is a huge Shepherd fanatic and this girl was absolutely the perfect fit for her home after they had lost a beloved family member recently… Chancey snuck her way into their hearts and has been an angel since day one! We are so happy for her and the future that lies ahead!

The sky here in Texas is gray and dismal… Much like my mood…
It breaks my heart writing this because I really didn't think I would have to do so...
Casper went into surgery yesterday at 2:30 PM… Things went fantastic and the doctor was amazed at how well he did under anesthesia they were able to close him up and the tumor was encapsulated within a muscle sheath that made it for easy removal… And when I say "easy" that's relatively speaking… The surgery took three hours And he woke up and everyone was thrilled with the results… I got a text message saying that he had done very well- surgery was successful and while it was an aggressive tumor, it seemed to be isolated and he felt very confident that he was able to get everything… I started asking a few specific questions and the text messages went silent… My phone rang then.…
It was the vet and he was standing in front of Casper watching him in recovery. All of a sudden he just stopped breathing. He believes that Casper threw a clot and died instantly. There was no chance of CPR or any sort of resuscitation… It was so fast and so sudden there was nothing they could do…
When I say this was one of the most perfect creatures I've ever had the pleasure of fostering, I mean that. He was a gentle young two year-old Lab… A perfect soul with such a will to live… I just couldn't bucket list him and I wanted to give him a chance . We knew there were risks of him going into surgery, but the risk of him being taken by this aggressive mass was equal if not higher… I am heartbroken beyond words right now. It's just so unfair… He was such a good boy and such a perfect dog.he got such a sh*tty hand I will never forget his sweet smile and demeanor… His happy Tail wag and zest for life...
I would like to thank everyone who helped with his case and donated and prayed over him… Your thoughts prayers and donations did not go unnoticed and I sincerely appreciate the support.

RIP Sweet Casper… You will be welcomed with open arms at the Rainbow Bridge 🌈 🐾 💔

Please say a prayer for this boy today.... he goes in for surgery in 2 hours and there is a very high risk that the doctor won't be able to close the incision given the amount of swelling etc. He is pulling out all the stops and bringing another doctor in to assist, but there is still a very high risk, on top of his HW+ status which is another huge factor to go under anesthesia.
We have only raised about $300 toward his surgery, so if you would like to help us cover some of it, it would be extremely appreciated. Times are SO hard for rescues right now, and I know everyone is feeling the pinch... but any amount helps.. this guy is beyond perfect temperament wise. He's phenomenal with dogs, cats, kids, horses, chickens, parrots, goats and pigs... and yes he's met ALL of those!!!

Whelp.... Bad news for our sweet boy 😫
antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds were not successful.... we are worried there is a tumor there after having an ultrasound done... so the leg needs to come off... and soon!

Looking at anywhere from $800-1000 for that surgery. Putting in a request to take his nuts at the same time. But because of the heart-worms it needs to be a quick surgery! 😫 I'm stressing cause this guy is just a total love muffin.
Currently doing several treatments of PMS therapy to lessen the swelling so that we can close up the incision when the leg is removed. That is one of the major concerns our vet has right now… The swelling is so bad that he's worried he won't be able to close it up once he gets in there…
If you would like to help Gaspar in this next phase of recovery, please choose an option below to donate. Once the leg is off and hopefully surgery is successful, we can look at the $1500 heartworm treatment 👀😬

This whole situation is a big risk but I've got to TRY to give him this chance.... he is SO worth it!
He has been phenomenal with my kitty, my parrot, the chickens, small dogs, big dogs… You name it. He adores children and loves everybody he's ever met… Always has a happy d***y Lab smile on his face. Please help us… Thank you for your support and please share!

‼️ Update on the Lab from the crack house!!!‼️

He stayed at the vet for a few days with his bad leg. We did x-rays... take a look... 👀
You will be SHOCKED!!! I sure was!

I have added the bill and we desperately need donations.... I will also include pictures of the necessities we need for him!

He is HW+ which means 4 months of crate rest and no running around.... ☠️☠️ We are going to need a BOATLOAD of bully sticks and toys. I have added an Amazon link from the wish list:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1CHG1FWZH1DO3?ref_=wl_share

Also a few pics from Tractor Supply items needed. We definitely need food for him- he's SO THIN... pic added- this can be purchased on Amazon OR Tractor Supply Co. Message us for address or store for donation pick up- it's the TSC in Bartonville, Texas. I will be picking up up person- "Morgan Sokolow"

So what WAS going on with that leg of his?
Our best guess is that his leg had a bite or puncture of some sort that was never treated, became SEVERELY infected and blew up like a balloon. Because this happened the nerve in his leg and foot stopped working. He has a severe infection and cellulitis going on currently. There is no break, no dislocation!
I know... crazy right?!? So we DO have a chance to save this guy's leg, but heart worm treatment needs to happen first so he is strong enough to go under if we end up needing to amputate. The silver lining of him having heart worm is that he won't be able to undergo any sort of anesthesia for a few months, which automatically gives him time to heal and regenerate that leg, which hat we may not have waited to do if progress wasn't being made. Also, the crate rest is good for both the heart worm and the leg... he has the heart worm cough, so my assumption is that it's a pretty bad case. I just pray that we caught it early enough to fix! He's only about 1.5-2 years old and has a personality of GOLD!

So if you can help, I have attached the bill thus far for his immediate treatment. $1200 and change... then heart worm treatment will be another $1400 ☠️☠️☠️☠️
So please if you can, donate to one of the following options below. This guy is in it for the long haul and we REALLY could use your help!

Venmo:
Zelle or PayPal: [email protected]

We sincerely appreciate the people who have helped so far! We have a LONG way to go for this boy, but man.... he is SO worth it!!! 😍

Please share and follow his story... still need to come up with a good name! I may do a live so you guys can meet him and help me!

We posting an update on this handsome boy tomorrow. Hes been in medical boarding all weekend! Stay tuned as soon as we hear from vet!!!

🚨 Emergency 🚨

On our way to pick up this guy who was rescued from a crackhouse!
He was living in the backyard and not being fed or watered… Neighbors were throwing food over and trying to take care of him… Finally convinced the owners to let him go after seeing the condition of his badly broken leg… we think he got out and was hit by a car and clearly the owners were not gonna do anything about it…

We need help with vet bills! Xray, meds for infection and possible amputation depending on how bad it is… I will be doing live shortly stay tuned… If you would like to help with his care, please choose one of the following options below:
