Story
Meet Manolo aka Nolo or as my nieces call him Granola. This little 8lb spitfire was found in East Bakersfield, unfortunately, he was never claimed by an owner. Nolo has been a bit behind developmentally as he has dwarfism and finally got his teeth in at around 6 months old however this has not hindered him in any way. This cuddle bug will happily lay by his person's side all night long. He is house and crate trained but is not a fan of being outside. He conducts his business outside then immediately wants to come back inside, to get back to the very serious business of lounging on the couch. So if you're seeking that perfect little companion to be your best friend for life, Manolo is the pup for you! **Pets will not be shipped nor transported to adopter. Applications are accepted and reviewed on a first come first serve basis. Meet and Greets are only scheduled when an application has been approved. If the meet and greet is successful then the required adoption fee is paid in full ($150), cash only, and the adoption contract is signed. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY**

Bailey is a very sweet and active dog. She needs a lot of attention and definitely would need another fur buddy to play with. Loves to play fetch, go on truck rides and walks. She is over 4 years old and was a rescue. Circumstances have changed and i dont have the time to give her the attention she needs. Has recent shots and just had her groomed. i have all her records on hand.

Story
We acquired Sparky at the animal shelter about six months ago. He is about 2 yrs old. He is a very loyal, protective, and very loving dog. We are feeling overwhelmed with having him as well as young kids, something we didn't expect. When around other dogs, he barks and lunges, but once he smells the other dog, he is friendly. We feel he would do best in a house with a yard. We love in an apartment and it is hard for him sometimes. Sparky is a cute, loyal dog that would love somebody that can give him the love and attention he needs!

Glacey is 11 months old. We sadly have to rehome her because she doesn’t get along with our cat. Besides that she’s a very sweet, loving girl. She has lots of energy and loves kisses! She’s spayed, microchipped and has gotten her rabies shot.
