Today my family and I had a pretty scary experience with a kitten, that had been somehow placed/trapped into a small rodent trap then dropped into the church dumpster at the church parking lot. I was informed by a homeless man who had recently been searching for cans and attempted to rescue the kitten with no luck. I immediately called the Kern county animal control who was close to closing. They dispatched a hero (in my family's eye's) named Tara Gonzalez who was able to retrieve the kitten from the trap and not only feed it and make sure it was hydrated, but she called us back to update us on the situation with good news and the best part was that she mentioned the fact that they really have never let the animals ride anywhere but the back inside of the carriers but this guy wouldn't allow it and wound up riding passenger the whole way meowing in the background as we spoke. That is a review worth mentioning.

Today was the first time adopting our second dog at this location. We were impressed with the customer service and their knowledge of these wonderful dog. We adopt Nova which they say is a Alaskan Husky but we can't really tell. We will going to have her DNA tested.

We found our forever dog here. Couldn't be happier with the service they provide. You don't have to jump through hoops here like other shelters do to adopt. The facility is very well organized and clean. There are people always cleaning and caring for the animals. I would definitely come back to adopt again when needed.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Occasionally some animals have been sponsor which means part or all of tjeir adoption fee has been paid by someone. Your best bet is to go to the shelter and see if there is a furbaby that you connect with.
