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.
BOWIE

Name: BOWIE
Age: 2
Sex: Male
Weight: 56
Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix
Reproductive: Neutered
Vaccinations: Fully Vaccinated
Microchipped: Yes
My Story:
Bowie was discovered surrounded by a litter of puppies in a remote area of Bakersfield, California, far from any residential areas. He was protective of the puppies, but given the threats facing this vulnerable family, we felt compelled to step in and ensure their safety, which turned out to be quite challenging. After several hours in the sweltering heat, we successfully rescued Bowie along with the six puppies.
About Me:
Bowie is an affectionate and fluffy companion who thrives on the warmth of human interaction and the playful antics of his fellow dogs. With a gentle demeanor and a wagging tail that seems to have a life of its own, he eagerly seeks out the company of those around him.
My Status: Adopted
Thank you Sunny Day Acres

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.
