My Story:
Zara stands as the sole survivor of Siva’s most recent litter, a poignant testament to resilience in the face of adversity. She was rescued alongside her mother, a courageous endeavor that took months of careful planning and patience. The pair had been living in a desolate and forsaken area, where the relentless heat bore down upon them, and the constant threat of roaming coyotes loomed large. This harsh environment was not just a physical challenge but an emotional one, as they navigated the dangers of survival in such a bleak landscape. The effort to trap her mother was not without difficulties, yet it was driven by a deep commitment to their safety and well-being. Ultimately, the successful rescue of Zara and her mother not only saved their lives but also highlighted the urgent need for compassion and action towards vulnerable animals in perilous situations.
About Me:
Zara is an exceptionally intelligent dog, having demonstrated her resilience as a survivor and her ability to learn quickly. With a sweet disposition, she enjoys engaging in playful antics that showcase her joyful spirit. Initially, she may come across as cautious and a bit nervous, but with the right training and a nurturing environment, she is sure to thrive as she builds trust with her handlers. Zara possesses a keen sense of observation, attentively noting the behaviors of those around her and the nuances of her environment. Once she forms a bond with someone, her loyalty is unwavering, making her a truly remarkable companion. This special pup is eagerly waiting for the opportunity to find a forever home filled with love and care, where she can truly shine.

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.
