Bakersfield Strays Dog Rescue Success Stories
Dog rescue success stories. The profiles below feature dogs that have been adopted by a loving family or placed with an animal rescue partner. If a dog is with a rescue partner, they may still need a permanent home. If you’re interested in adopting one of these dogs, we’re happy to provide more information on a specific dog or connect you with our adoption partner. If you need some additional information on how to care for your rescue dog you can check out some of our blogs about nurturing their health.
MARGO AKA MONKEY

Name: MARGO AKA MONKEY
Age: 1
Sex: Female
Weight: 50
Breed: Belgian Malinois
Reproductive: Spayed
Vaccinations: Fully Vaccinated
My Story:
Margo was spotted on the east side of Bakersfield running scared on the street dodging cars, with a stuffed monkey in her mouth. She was very thin and obviously hungry. We spotted her two days in a row and were able to leave food and water while we worked on a plan to get her to safety. Animal picked Monkey up and we were able to secure a rescue for her and get her safely out of the shelter.
About Me:
Margo aka Monkey is the most precious and darling girl ever. She loves her stuffed animals and will carry them around in her mouth. She is people and dog friendly and will make the most amazing new addition to any family.
My Status: Adopted

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.
