Bakersfield Strays Team
Bakersfield Strays Team. OUR MISSION… IS TO C.A.R.E.
Our vision is that every animal has a safe home and Kern County, specifically Bakersfield, becomes known again for its incredible agriculture. KINDNESS – We strive to be kind.
We are trying to end this crisis in Bakersfield through our Bakersfield Strays Team coalition of rescues focused on C.A.R.E. through Collaboration, Awareness, Resources, and Education.
R.A.D. Rescue
R.A.D. Rescue is our Boots-On-The-Ground Team!
R.A.D. stands for “Rescuing Abandoned Dogs”.
R.A.D. is dedicated to providing food, water and saving as many abandoned dogs as possible that are roaming the streets/land in Bakersfield, California and/or nearby portions of Kern County, CA. The difficult task of finding abandoned dogs, capturing them, and bringing them to the larger group has been an astronomically important piece of the Bakersfield Strays mission. The ladies who, on a strictly volunteer basis, spend countless hours helping these dogs in the earliest of rescue stages are are truly selfless.
S.T.A.R.T. Rescue
START Animal Rescue saves animals from overflowing and high-kill shelters, neglect, abuse, and abandonment.
This is accomplished through:
- The coordination of large-scale rescue-transport missions, in cooperation with overflowing and high-kill shelters.
- Offering Spay & Neuter in underserved communities.
- And by saving big-hearted individual animals who have more intensive needs. These ‘START Sweethearts’ are often found dumped in rural California, starving, sick or taken from the hands of an abuser.
Southern California Pomeranian Rescue
Southern California Pomeranian Rescue (SCPR) is a 501c3 charity that was founded in 2009. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home Pomeranians in the Southern California area. As an all-volunteer rescue group, we use our diverse skills to care for 20+ Pomeranians and honorary poms on a daily basis while they wait for their forever homes.
We believe that every dog deserves a loving home, and we work tirelessly to make that a reality for our rescue dogs.
We’re proud to partner with RAD Rescue and START Rescue, to address the stray dog crisis as BAKERSFIELD STRAYS.

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. Bakersfield Strays team is here to work until all dogs have a safe home.
