Gabby, pug
Gabby is a darling female pug dog being cared for at Pet Matchmaker Rescue.
Gabby loves to socialize, and she's happy to keep company with children, cats or dogs. She is already house-trained. She's spayed, and she has all her shots.
Here's what Gabby's friends at Pet Matchmaker Rescue think of her:
Gabby is an adorable 2-year-old pug who was found running down the freeway in Bakersfield after she had been hit by a car. She was very traumatized, and it took a very long time for her to warm up to us and trust us. She is doing wonderfully in her foster home. She would be fine in a home with children as long as they are not overly rambunctious or crazy. She bonds very hard with her person and will follow them around like a shadow. We would like to see Gabby go to a home where there are other dogs present as well because we feel that she has really blossomed by having other dogs in her life from whom to learn.

Belle, boxer and pit bull terrier mix
Belle is a sweet female boxer and pit bull terrier mix currently residing at Bakersfield Boxers and Bullies Rescue.
Belle loves other dogs. She is looking for cat-free forever home. She is already spayed and vaccinated. She is already house-trained.
From Belle's current caretaker:
Belle is about 3-4 years old. She’s been through some training and did very well with learning commands quickly. As an only dog, she is timid and has a harder time with strangers, but she blossoms with a confident, non-reactive dog companion. She will absorb the confidence and manners and enjoy having a friend and that will, in turn, help her enjoy her family. We can’t wait to find that person who knows how to bring her out of her shell and into her full potential.

Bliss, English bulldog and boxer mix
Bliss is a lovable female English bulldog and boxer mix in the care of Bakersfield Boxers and Bullies Rescue.
Bliss loves other dogs. Her ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. She's already spayed, and she has all her shots.
Here's what Bliss' friends at Bakersfield Boxers and Bullies Rescue think of her:
Bliss is a 50 lb., 4-5 year-old English bulldog mix. She is a very happy and very loving dog. Her energy is wonderful, and she is mellow and fun to have around. She is always polite, easy to walk on the leash and you can take her anywhere without worrying at all. She loves car rides, and she is great with kids of all ages and dogs. Although she is perfectly dog friendly out in public, she prefers to be an only fur child in the home. She is not a high energy dog; she is happy to go on walks, but just as happy to just relax at home.

Dilly, chihuahua mix
Dilly is a female chihuahua mix in the care of Mutts and Runts Rescue.
Dilly loves kids, cats or dogs. She's already house-trained. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she's spayed. Dilly is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
Dilly's current caretakers say:
Dilly is new to our rescue. She’s about one year old. She’s a cuddly, fearless girl who’s accustomed to joining her foster family on outings. Now for the fine print- she is about 90% blind. She is still playful, still capable of learning (blind dogs' sense of smell and hearing are their main senses) and will still be an excellent companion. If you’d like to know more or you're concerned about her disability, please feel free to ask us.

Sebie, American Staffordshire terrier and hound mix
Sebie is a male American Staffordshire terrier and hound mix in the care of H.A.L.T. (Helping Animals Live Tomorrow).
Sebie is the life of the party, and he'll get along great with your other dogs. He is neutered and vaccinated. He is already house-trained.
Notes from Sebie's caretakers:
Sebie may be big, but he thinks he is small and that's OK...we let him think that. Sebie is a gentle and sensitive larger-sized dog. He really is in-tune to his person. There are many unique qualities about Sebie. They include being friendly, loving the Starbucks drive-thru for Puppacinos, balls and toys. He will toss them, carry them, run with them and share them with you. We would love nothing more than to see Sebie in a forever home where he is a part of the family.

Molly, boxer

Molly wants all your attention: She will need a home free of other dogs and cats. She does do well with kids. She is already spayed and vaccinated. She's already house-trained.
Here's what Molly's friends at Boxers Mutts & Wiggle Butts Rescue Inc think of her:
Molly is a 7-year-old boxer. She is a very good girl. She likes meeting new people, being petted by people and people giving her treats. She goes on daily runs/walks with her foster family and has done well with corrections to ignore loose dogs in the area. We will continue to work on introducing her to other dogs until she is adopted.
