| All our puppies are in foster homes getting lots of love and socializing to help them transition easily into their new homes. To meet puppies in their foster homes, start with an on-line application. |

 |
ADOPTION DAYS ******* Pre-approved applicants only ******* Although our adoption hours remain the same, due to the COVID-19 situation, we are only showing dogs to PRE-APPROVED applicants. If you have submitted an on-line application but have not been approved by our volunteer, please do NOT come down to meet dogs as we won't be able to show you any. Our main priority right now is to keep our staff, volunteers and you healthy during these difficult times. No on-site screening at this time. Once approved and told to come meet dogs, we will be happy to help you. Thank you for understanding and for opening your homes to one of our deserving dogs! |

Every day, we are hoping for the news that animal shelters are opening again to help all dogs! People who have found dogs and can’t wait for an appointment days later are still asked to leave the dogs where they found them! We are taking dogs left and right, some without a drop of German Shepherd, just to keep them safe! Tango was going to be left on the street in front of the rescue by his owners because he got too big! We are holding dogs as people reach out to neighbors, trying to find the owners of the dogs. Chibi was going to be left on the street because he was chasing the cat in the family. Maxwell had been living on the streets in Bakersfield. He was skin and bones and had obviously been abandoned some time ago, but animal shelters weren’t open to help a dog like him! The sweet dog is now at Westside! We need animal control to be there for the dogs again! If you have any connections, let’s plead for the voiceless!!

Charles Perry is one of the most gifted trainers we have watched work his magic over and over. He knows what the dogs are thinking and guides them and teaches them what is expected. He creates a partnership with their owners or adopters, we hear how they love learning and working with Charles as much as the dogs do! Charles is part of a new program called, Halfway Home, which has been partially funded by a Pedigree Grant. Charles works through issues newly arriving dog might have that need to be addressed before they go to foster homes or permanent homes! Charles also does private training. |
