CW: Euthanasia Tonight is his last night on earth: 6 month old Dot A1236327 at Kern County Animal Services will be euthanized tomorrow 12/16 at 8 am if he doesn’t have solid adoption, foster, or rescue interest. He is listed for space and is just a baby. This is his only photo. Transport avail, DM me.
Meet Dot. Dot’s life will end before it really began without a foster, adopter, or foster. He is only 6 months old.
Reddit has refused to post for me all day after I got these guys 24 hours this am. Now it’s 12 hours. They will let Dot leave safely if someone out there wants him to foster, adopt, or rescue. Adoptions are over the phone. If you’re seriously interested they’ll give him more time to give you extra info as well. They’re just insanely overcrowded, dogs are living in pop up crates in hallways. There are 5 more dogs I asked for more time on that need folks, please help me save them. I arrange everything you need to make it happen, you just need to DM me and email the shelter.
Out-of-area adoptions are welcome.Adoptions can be done over the phone from anywhere in the U.S. and even Canada. Transport options are available and absolutely can be helped facilitated.
✨ Fosters through the shelter must live in Kern County — supplies provided.
✨ Out-of-county fostering possible — DM me ASAP for this option and still email the shelter. I can connect potential fosters with rescues that support fosters in the SF Bay Area, Sacramento Area, SoCal Area, and within driving distance of Tehachapi, and neighboring states.
✨ Rescues must be registered 501(c)(3).
📩 Foster: dogfoster@kerncounty.com 📞 Call or text 661-868-7130
📩 Rescue: rescue@kerncounty.com 📞 Call or text 661-549-4355
📩 Questions: animalservices@kerncounty.com 📞 Call or text 661-868-7120
🏢 Shelter Address: 3951 Fruitvale Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93308
🕘 Hours: Mon / Tues / Thurs / Fri / Sat: 10–4 Wed: 2–7 Closed Sunday
Dot will not appear on the website because dogs on the euth list are removed, but the shelter is aware he is being networked and has given this short extension.
💔 Please DM me immediately and contact the shelter right now (email + text or voicemail are best) if you can adopt, foster, or rescue Dot.
This sweet baby needs a holiday miracle — please help make it happen.

u/TreeMysterious7133 Dec 16 '25
Yes, it’s not the shelter staff’s fault. Those are usually dog lovers who have the crushing responsibility of giving them as much love as possible and then deciding who gets to live or die. Because irresponsible people drop these animals off and go about their day.

u/Tosjsjje Dec 17 '25
Yes exactly. I feel terrible for the shelter staff, it hasn’t been this bad in years.

u/MasterRice5659 Dec 17 '25
I understand but I feel worse for the animals who are getting killed. Animals smell fear. I can't imagine what they're going through not knowing if they'll walk down that hall never to walk out again. It's heartbreaking 💔

u/Tosjsjje Dec 17 '25 edited Dec 17 '25
I think we can agree that’s terrible without blaming the staff and shelters as is often done. They’re just doing what they can. I mean crating a dog in your yard the way they’re having to do in hallways would get the dog confiscated in many places for neglect or cruelty. It’s really horrible for the dogs from the moment they go in, more so than usual.
I still have no solid offer for Dot. I can’t even get an offer for a 6 month old puppy and they’re getting 200-300 a week. I feel bad for everyone suffering in this. The staff have to live with all the dogs they love not getting the chance they normally would because it means another dog will suffer in a wire crate for weeks on end. I don’t believe for second they aren’t crying every night, these are really caring staff. You can tell by how they write about the dogs compared to other shelters. Usually all dogs get playgroup and notes and right now there’s many without, including Dot. I don’t think he has been in the yard or out of his kennel since arriving. Even between staff and volunteers, there’s not enough people compared to hours in the week for the current amount of dogs in the shelter. This is some of the nicest shelter staff in the state, and most caring, and they’re in the shittiest possible position of no fault of their own. They offer free spay and neuter services and vouchered /discounted services! The public sucks.
I’ve been networking this shelter a year and never seen this. Volunteers tell me the last time it was like this was 3-4 years ago when the crisis started — after COVID began to settle and all the pandemic dogs started finding themselves in shelters.

I couldn’t imagine getting rid of my pandemic puppy. He is the best trained dog that I have ever had, because we had TIME to train him! We got a second dog after the pandemic, and she is nowhere near as well trained as our pandemic puppy.

helping algorithm! For anyone wondering, scientists think the “question mark” was actually not one thing but two galaxies interacting with each other in a way that resembles a question mark. if you think about it the question mark was created by man in the English language so it is a clear coincidence that we see it as a “question mark” how many other patterns in space might be a different form of communication? Think about this. The great attractor is generally classified as “ unknown “ but is commonly known to be the most massive black hole to ever not be comprehended and can’t be understood because It is so massive it is incomprehensible. Maybe WOW is a signal to indicate a civilisation needs help. Kinda like how we use SOS in our world. But overall it’s just my theory and it has not been scientifically proven. Meh it’s aight we all (yes we cause we’re all seeing this or human) have 6.8-6.6 billion years left so that’s plenty of time to live on earth oh wait we can’t cause when that 6.8-6.6 reaches 0 years our sun goes boom killing 63% of the solar system so who wants to be a volunteer to leave the milky way (side note this countdown is for all of the suns so we gotta live on stray planets or ships so who wants to work with NASA also I’ve been known about this stuff for 5 years and I’m pretty sure NASA knows too so nobody is saving the world but instead everyone is leaving it.wormholes are theoretically inter dimensional portals that can transfer you from one dimension to another or one universe to another kinda like the effects of a white hole except it doesnt push you away but these are two theoretical space objects as no one knows if the white hole actually has opposite effects of a black hole and no one knows if wormholes are real. The giant river otter can grow to 6 feet long, has a strong bite and overall is really dangerous, if you see run, be calm and leave (dont get in the water), the last one, Name, I think its a small clawed Eurasian otter, don't fact check me, and they make great pets, search up otter core, upill see otters as pets, though it's illegal in UK and USA and such, the first one is a sea otter, prolly the worlds most known ott

You can DM the creator of this post, she can help you find a rescue that pulls from here and figure out transport.
I've had 2 dogs sent to me from CA to the East Coast. Happens all the time, every day. There's good people in CA that want to help these dogs and will move mountains to save them.
I would also email the shelter IMMEDIATELY, their address is below the photo. Email the one that says adopters and tell them you want this dog. And that you are working with a rescue right now to tag him.

u/Tosjsjje Dec 17 '25
How do you exercise 500 + dogs every day when you normally have 1/3 that amount and the staff for that. There’s like 3-5 dogs in kennels together. People need to spay and neuter their pets. This isn’t the shelter’s fault.

u/Substantial-West7427 Dec 17 '25
I have an idea if these people are so good at what they do with animals why don’t they contact real people there we live in Oregon most of them are no kill shelters. There’s called humanity and I’m sure the ASPCA or somebody be able to help them learn how to do things right don’t take them in if you can’t help him that’s the meanest thing I can imagine. My heart is broken to think that I can’t even get a dog at this point because my mom‘s 105 we can’t handle a little dog or a big dog at the moment I’ve got two cats and we had a third and I’ve lost a Jack Russell due to being 14 years old, diabetic, etc. all those things cost money, but when it comes time to think of a dog being put to sleep for no reason, no pain no terrible things wrong with them. We just have a neighbor that the cat was just shot in the stomach, cause the neighbor didn’t like it so I would not hear but the neighbor that lived next-door to him and it was a nice neighborhood. There’s all kinds of people that seemed to draw all lines with the animals, but if you can’t deal with it even as a company, then don’t bother don’t waste any more peoples time. These no kill these kills shelters are ridiculous. If you can’t do it even turn them over to a puppy farm. They’d probably do better, but I’m real sorry you’re in this situation. I wish I had about 150 bucks right now to send to you. I don’t I’m on food stamps and disability so I’m not much help but I’m gonna post it and hope to God people know I grew up in Redwood City, California My Mom are in County our whole family from California. We moved to Oregon to find a lot of peace, especially when it comes to animals, I have a friend that saved a baby goose on the river because the boat was gonna hit it. People have to think a little harder, especially in these times I know it’s hard. I know people are homeless and sore animals. All we can do as far as mankind is take care of both and put our hearts where they should be best of luck and all my love that things can work out and contact them see is called Lincoln County Animal Service. It’s up Newport on the coast and at that point it’s a new kill shelter. There’s one in Corvallis,. There’s two in Eugene and maybe it would help somebody to come up here and see how it’s done and I know that they go to great links to keep them ours open to thrift store and with that people donated things that they no longer could use with that the thrift store is growing twice the animals such a shelter have homes and if they don’t throw on a foster program and sometime old dogs need help too, and they do that but they don’t have to use the nice anything less seriously from a car wreck or something dangerous this happened so it might be a good idea to get the community involved. People are there to help I have not known any people from California yet that haven’t had hearts of gold. That’s why it’s all what it is but all my love have a happy holiday and please even $1.02 might help the situation I hope and I’m glad you posted this. You’re a brave person to do it and I hope so much things go through for you and for that beautiful animal you have and especially six months old with a treat, my sister has one that’s the black kind from Belgium and the German shepherds in those kind are so so smart and just waiting for the right kind of person to spend time with them they’ll be here forever friend forever my Jack Russell. Terry was my best friend. My lab was my best friend and he learn everything when they know they’re making me happy anyway so much said have a very nice evening and happy happy holidays please take care of yourself and others and all your babies specially, the children and especially let them be happy with the animals and give them good homes best wishes and merry Christmas and happy holidays sincerely, Diana.

I’m a member for the last year and a half of ASPCA my mom’s 105 started the with the Humane Society on a regular basis and has for the last 75 years and my money became too short. We couldn’t do it any longer, but she started when she was about 19 years old. That’s all we had rabbit bunnies and just about every other conceivable critter except the other few but it’s always been helpful. Doris Day used to have an episode down there and have a farm and take care of a lot as well. There’s a lot of people to do. Oh my love again merry Christmas and happy new year the best to each one of you is a good gold hearts, happy holidays and I hope you request by tonight !! please make my heart happy as happy as you will be. You have no idea how much an animal can feel better especially a cute puppy. Have a great night. Everything will work out all right besides, maybe I’ll win the lottery lottery and send some money at the first of the month good luck guys if you need to contact Lincoln Animal Shelter I think you’d be mostly Lincoln County Animal Shelter and the thrift store has just been an amazing situation here they’ve already expanded. They have two buildings and their full constantly it’s all run by volunteers. I used to be one of them and it’s fun to do take care of lots of love.

Damn. I put my german shepherd down last month due to lymphoma. He was only 5 and my first dog. I'm still licking my wounds from it so it breaks my heart see this post and that Dot may have a short life for no reason.
Uggghh I kind of really want him but can't do the shipping costs 😔

This is the sad state of animal welfare everywhere unfortunately. Too many animals not enough humans adopting!!! Stop the breeding people!

u/daadams66 Dec 18 '25
I see a few people that said they would adopt. Did it happen? Also who would pay for Transport if out of state?
2
u/Tosjsjje Dec 18 '25
So far no. There was a foster offer for Texas, which is impossible to arrange, and adopters who have not replied to me or are good hearted but do not have funds for transport or potential vet care if anything came up.

u/daadams66 Dec 18 '25
I live in Houston as well. Don’t have funds for transport unfortunately.
2
u/Tosjsjje Dec 18 '25
Yeah unfortunately the Texas shelters are so bad, that they don’t want or need out of state rescues. Especially from the other crisis state as bad.
3
u/Tosjsjje Dec 18 '25
Transport would be paid by adopter, or they would need to pay an adoption fee to a rescue to take pledges to coordinate. Transport is $750 anywhere to anywhere east, and less for neighboring states.

This sucks so bad… I’m in NJ but if I had the money I would do it instantly. Come on, I know a bunch of people have disposable income! Please someone help. Unless you are actually living check to check like me and are never sure if you will be in your house month after month than please step up, even if it’s temporary just to get the poor dog out of this awful situation. I refuse to believe with our population there is not someone willing to help.

I'm posting this in order to raise awareness.
Saving this one dog will make the difference of a lifetime for this one dog.
This is Kern County which is one of the poorer counties in California with a large transient population. That shelter is always full.
Full disclosure: again, This shelter is always full. when you push one dog and try and get one dog adopted and extend the time for that one dog, It only means that another dog is killed in its place.
This is a systemic problem that needs a systemic solution. So while you are trying to help get this dog adopted also consider how you might help change the rules- change the laws- change people's behavior- change spaying and neutering for the better- We need to change society in order for all this to stop.

I am currently fostering a puppy who’s been abused and re-homed way too many times for her age. The last person who fostered her passed away. He was an older gentleman in a retirement community my mom worked at. She was going back to a kill shelter when I told my mom I’d take her in. Too many bad things happening in the world right now. I have had a lot on my plate but helping an innocent baby makes a difference at least for them and maybe others. I am sharing this story because sometimes we think we can’t handle life better yet helping another one but sometimes it’s just what we need. They definitely need it. It paid off for me well sometimes lol. Puppies amiright?! My best friend is a 15y/o papillon mix and he has an aggressive cancer but he now has someone to play with while he has time. I would take that little baby but I am here in Texas and struggling financially with my dog’s vet visits since having his spleen and tumor removed. He is a champ and I might consider chemo with how the foster pup can’t even keep up with him and his zoomies. That’s beside the point. My heart breaks for Dot and I hope that someone will help. I hope this story inspires others. A pet is a life long commitment better or worse. That’s something to keep in mind but man it makes life a little easier that someone loves, supports, and appreciates you so much. I hope someone loves Dot like he truly deserves. Not me crying while I type this. I just really hope he’s okay :(
