Very happy update!
Today, Malcolm not only graduated with his AKC certificate — he also went home with his brand-new family. And this isn’t just any family… they’re already part of our Stripes & Paws story!

Does anyone remember little Rasja, now known as Cookie? She was adopted from our program just one year ago, and look at her now — all grown up and thriving. Today, her family returned to adopt Malcolm, giving one of our pups a second chance for the second time.

We are incredibly grateful for our wonderful repeat adopters. Thank you so much, Rose and William, for your continued support, for everything you do for our animals, and for opening your home and hearts to two of our program dogs.

Malcolm will continue his training outside the program and is on his way to a long, joyful life with his two new sisters. And did we mention? This boy can count and read — whether you hold up fingers or flashcards, he responds with barks on command. What a superstar!

A big thank-you to Stripes & Paws for making another second-time adoption happen, and to Pachuca for training Malcolm to be the best he can be.

Happy tails, Malcolm — we can’t wait to watch you shine in your new life. 🐾❤️

Meet Axolotl!

This sweet boy was rescued just in time from the Stockton Animal Shelter. Even after his big debut on Good Day, no one came for him — but his journey is far from over.

Axolotl is a six-month-old Shepherd mix full of love, energy, and goofy puppy charm. He’ll be joining us at Unleashed Rescue Academy, where he’ll learn all the best tricks and what it means to be the best good boy.

A huge thank-you to Cindy for transporting Axolotl all the way to Fresno. We are so grateful for our amazing volunteers!

Meet Thor!
This stunning 6-month-old shepherd boy was recently rescued from the Oakdale Animal Shelter, and he has quickly stolen every heart he’s met. Thor has a gentle, mellow personality and a soft, soulful way about him that makes him easy to love. He’s the kind of pup who takes everything in stride and just wants to be close, learn, and be part of a family.

Thor will be joining us in the Second Chance Canine Program, where he’ll receive one-on-one training, structure, and plenty of love from our dedicated handlers. Over the next several weeks, he’ll learn all the best “good dog” skills—confidence building, leash manners, basic obedience, social skills, and more. By the end of the program, Thor will proudly earn his CTC certification, showing just how far he’s come.

A huge thank you to Hazel for everything you do for shelter pets in need. Thor is safe today because of people like you.

This sweet boy is looking for a loving home where he can continue to grow, bond, and shine. If you’re interested in adopting Thor, please fill out an application on our website or send us a direct message.

Thor deserves the very best, and we can’t wait to see where his journey leads. 💛🐾

Our sweet girl Amber needs your help.

Amber has an exposed nerve in one of her canine teeth, and she urgently needs a dental cleaning and the removal of that tooth to relieve her pain. Her estimate is $1,500, and any donation — big or small — would make a world of difference.

If you’re able to donate, it would be so deeply appreciated. Amber deserves to feel comfortable and pain-free, and with your support, we can get her the care she needs. 🐾

Thank you for always helping our pups when they need it most.

Today we’re celebrating Little Miss Tachi!

Tachi has had quite the journey with us. She was found as a stray in Lemoore, California, alongside her son, Tico. Despite plenty of interest, no one ever seemed to follow through — until today. Because today, Tachi finally got to go home. 💛🐾

She completed her training through the Stripes and Paws Dog Program, and she has found the very best forever family.
Thank you, John and Cassandra, for opening your hearts and home to this perfect little girl.

Tachi has a story to tell — you can see it written in her eyes. She’s a gentle, kind soul who reminds us every day what rescue is truly about.

Thank you to our vet team, to our fosters, and to Tachi herself for trusting us on her journey.
We love you, sweet girl.

Congratulations, Tachi!
We can’t wait to watch your new adventures unfold.
Happy tails, little one. 🐶✨

Big congratulations to our little Honey Bear!

Honey was rescued from , and from there she went on to complete her training with the Second Chance Canine Program at PVSP Coalinga. She was truly the light of the yard—full of charm, sharp as a whip, and always ready to learn.

We are beyond excited to share that Honey is officially adopted and has made her way all the way to Tennessee! 🐾

A huge thank you to for rescuing Honey, taking her in, and making sure she received the care she needed.

Thank you, Bri, for choosing Honey even before we had eyes on her—you spotted her at the shelter and believed in her from the very beginning.

Thank you to Manuel and Jose for dedicating your time, patience, and heart into Honey’s training, teaching her the ups, the downs, the rights, the wrongs, and how to be the very best girl.

Thank you to Margaret for safely transporting Honey all the way to her new life in Tennessee.
And a special thank you to Lori and Nancy for all you do.

It truly takes a village for each and every one of our dogs. And thank you, Jenna, for assisting with Honey’s appointment—we couldn’t do this without each of you.

Congratulations, Honey Bear! Your new adventure begins now. 🐶

We honestly can’t understand how Axolotl still hasn’t found his forever home — even after his grand debut on Good Day!

This adorable 7-month-old pup has officially been welcomed into rescue, and we are thrilled to share that he’ll be joining the Wiley’s Wish Pack very soon.

But seriously... LOOK at this cutie.
That face, those eyes — how has he not been scooped up already?

We can’t wait to meet you, sweet Axolotl. Your new journey starts now. 💛🐾

Thank you to the wonderful shelter workers at for getting this boy seen.

What a Great Day at VTC for the Veterans Day Jamboree! 🇺🇸🐾

Thank you for having us be part of such a special day. It was so heartwarming to see some of our pups thriving in their forever homes — MOON, RUBY, EMILY, and many more!

A huge thank-you to Becky Roman, Tye, and Ricky for helping us answer questions and for all your support at the booth — we truly appreciate you.

Thank you, VTC, for everything you do for our Veterans and our pups. We’re so lucky to have such a strong partnership.

And to all our Veterans — thank you for your service! ❤️💙

Meet Miss Misa! 💕

This beautiful little Cocker Spaniel is about 3 years old and was rescued from the Fresno Animal Shelter — just in time.

Misa’s story breaks our hearts a little. She was an owner surrender, still wearing her name tag when she arrived at the shelter. It’s always sad to see dogs come in that way — confused, waiting, not understanding why their people didn’t come back for them. It’s clear that Misa has had puppies before, and like so many sweet mamas, she was likely used for breeding and then given up once she was no longer needed.

She spent 38 long days at the shelter. Now, for many that might not sound like a long time — just a little over a month — but in large shelters like Fresno, that’s actually considered a long stay. Every day there is filled with noise, stress, and uncertainty. For a gentle soul like Misa, that’s an eternity.

When we met her, we could see right away that she had such a kind heart. A little shy at first, but her tail still wagged softly when someone spoke kindly to her. It’s like she wanted to trust again, she just needed someone to remind her how.

Misa, you are safe now. 💖 You’re surrounded by people who see you, love you, and believe in you. No more loud kennels. No more confusion. Only kindness, care, and second chances from here on out.

We’re absolutely in love with this girl already. Misa will soon be joining Unleashed Rescue Academy, where she’ll begin her AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program and even try her paw at some agility training! We know she’s going to thrive and show everyone just how smart, loving, and resilient she truly is.

Welcome to the family, Miss Misa. You deserve every bit of the love coming your way. 🐾

Meet Tater 💙
7-month-old male Pitbull — rescued from Fresno Animal Shelter.

This sweet boy has already been through so much. He came to us showing signs of past abuse and neglect, yet he remains one of the most loving, gentle souls you’ll ever meet.

Tater will likely need some corrective surgery on his legs once he’s gained a bit more weight and muscle, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit! He’s incredibly smart, eager to please, and already soaking up all the love and care he deserves.

We can’t wait to watch this handsome boy heal and shine.
