SHADOW
Name: SHADOW
Age: 1
Sex: Male
Weight: 55
Breed: DOBERMAN PINSCHER
Reproductive: Neutered
Vaccinations: Fully Vaccinated
My Story:
Shadow was first spotted in a sump on a busy rural road. He was very young and very skittish. The road was so busy we were afraid to startle him to cross the road. A trap was set on many different occasions, but he absolutely refused to go into the trap. He disappeared for weeks, and we assumed he had moved on but then we spotted him about a mile away at a different location. We continued feeding at the new location and took an enclosure for him. Set trap again but he refused. There was one house out there with a chain link fenced yard. Shadow got comfortable going into the yard at night to sleep and luckily were able to trap inside the yards fencing. Shadow was finally secured but terrified. He was so young when he was dumped and now close to a year old that it will take some time for him to trust and learn that humans aren’t so bad.
About Me:
Shadow is an absolutely beautiful Doberman Pinscher. He is truly stunning. He is learning to trust and will soon be an amazing boy that is ready for his forever home. He is already amazing but will be even more amazing once he comes out of his shell and finds his place in this world. Shadow is dog friendly and would play with other abandoned dogs in the area. He even did well with the cats.

Rescue Partners
One of the most critical needs for our team are partners with the ability to help house Bakersfield Strays dogs upon being picked up. We have limited space and ability to hold them for long periods of time and our expertise is more generally suited for partnerships with larger private adoption agencies that can become a liaison between us and the forever homes of the dogs. We do have a process for becoming a partner that ensures they are going to remain happy and healthy in loving homes. If you are interested in helping us overcome this crisis and you have the ability to facilitate the adoption process n our behalf, please apply to become one of our valued partners. You can find the steps to doing so at the link below.
