🚨🐾Urgent: Help Save a Pit Bull Mom and Her Litter from Euthanasia🐾🚨
Kern County Animal Services is at full capacity, and the harsh reality is that dogs like this Pit Bull mom and her precious litter can’t be kept at the shelter indefinitely. Without intervention, they face a tragic fate that no animal should ever experience—euthanasia.This brave mom has done her best to care for her pups, but they need a safe place to grow and thrive. The shelter environment isn’t suitable for them, and the clock is ticking. We urgently need a hero to step forward—whether that’s a rescue willing to take them in or an adopter who can provide the love and security they deserve.These dogs didn’t ask to be brought into this world, but they’re here, and they need our help. Fostering or adopting not only saves lives but also opens up space at the shelter for other animals in need. If you’ve ever considered fostering or adopting, now is the time. Your compassion can make the difference between life and death for this Pit Bull family.Please reach out to Kern County Animal Services or contact us if you can help. Together, we can give these dogs the chance they deserve.
They know when they’ve been saved. They know the moment they walk out those shelter doors that their life has taken a completely new direction. As we start the beginning of our week what better way to get us motivated than with the sheer joy of a life celebrating the possibilities of 2nd chances ❤️Want to bring some of this infectious happiness into your life? Amelia would love to meet you! Reach out to our adoptions team directly to make that happen 😊 [email protected]#marleysmutts #muttmilitia #dogrescue #foster #adopt #rescuedog #secondchance #fostering #animaladvocate #adopt #dogrescue #fosteringsaveslives #savealife #shelter #adoption #foreverhome #spayandneuter #rescuedog #rescue #adoptdontshop #adoptme #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dontshopadopt
His jaw has basically disintegrated and his teeth are just hanging on to what left of his gums. His knees are blown out too, but the good news is he’s not in any pain and his heart is good! Dr. Darrow took blood, which will help us determine whether he’s a candidate for anesthesia and getting his teeth fixed. You guys, he’s a tragic case, that goes without saying, but this dude’s spirit is in tact and he’s got some good time left on this earth! Let’s come together and cheer for a wonderful final chapter or two!Last but not least, he needs a name! I like Lil Peep, but I’m weird. We have him listed as Gizmo, but we’ve had a few Gizmo’s in the past.Thank you, Mutt Militia, for helping us help this kiddo!
This little fella came into the shelter just as we arrived. He was found abandoned and stray in 112 degree bakersfield, barely able to move. His teeth and lower jaw have disintegrated; he can’t hear and can barely see; he’s only three pounds and was desperate for a friend to help him out. He had to be put in quarantine where most of the dogs are sick, and would have gotten him sick too, which would have spelled the end. We just couldn’t leave him and decided to take him home. He rode next to/ on top of Cora the entire way. He was exhausted last night, so I didn’t want to bath him. He fell asleep on my chest after dinner and then slept through the night in my laundry basket. He’ll be seeing Dr Darrow asap and we’ll put together. Shame plan. Hopefully, he can be anesthesized, and we can clean up his awful mouth and remove those teeth. I have a feeling this kiddo ain’t done.
Max and Sable
Max and Sable, two beautiful souls, belonged to Jasmine Marvel, one of the most dedicated fosters Marley’s Mutts ever had. For over 10 years, Jaz and her Mini Marvels recovery group saved countless dogs, giving them a second chance at life. After Jaz passed away suddenly, Max and Sable came to live at the ranch, where they’ve been patiently awaiting the next chapter of their lives. Now, they need your help to find a loving forever home. Could you be the one to give them the love and care they deserve? Please share and help us find Max and Sable a new family.
Don’t think puppies are at risk? Think again! Tiny little babies overcrowd our shelters and are losing their lives for space every single day. No chance to live in this world. No chance to experience all the wonders life can hold. No chance to even grow up. It shatters our hearts and the hearts of every single shelter staff member we know. Happy little new lives gone in an instant simply because people won’t stop breeding and there just aren’t enough homes to give these babies the happy endings they deserve.
This #freedomfriday we celebrate the young lives we can save like Hoffman and Dusty in this video. We pray that many more are making it out through both rescue and adoption. We are the only lifeline they have and every single baby should have their chance to grow up with a home of their very own ❤️

Special
We’re not quite sure what it is about the special dogs but they always seem to know when another is just as special as they are. Those special ones are the ones they choose to help. It’s like they gravitate to the need and know, even better than us humans, exactly what to do. Roo, born without front limbs, faced her fair share of adversity because of her differences. She still found her forever home and gives back on our Miracle Mutts therapy dog team. Now she’s helping little Neutron navigate all that life has thrown his way. This sweet boy is likely a hospice case. Born with hydrocephalus, blind, deaf and with a stage 4 heart murmur his former family threatened to throw him out in a field to die. He’s just a baby and with his differences would have met a horrible painful death. Another rescuer ensured that did not happen and reached out for help. While we don’t know what his future will hold for now he’s safe in foster care and with a foster sister like Roo will never be alone or unwanted again ❤️#marleysmutts #muttmilitia #dogrescue #foster #adopt #rescuedog #secondchance #fostering #animaladvocate #adopt #dogrescue #fosteringsaveslives #savealife #shelter #adoption #foreverhome #spayandneuter #rescuedog #rescue #adoptdontshop #adoptme #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dontshopadopt

Give for them ❤️
Rescue is absolutely a team activity. So many individuals participate in different ways to ensure these dogs get everything they need. From our dedicated volunteers, employees and board members to each of you who donate and share supplies and funds. We couldn’t do what we do without each and every one of you! If you’d like to be a part of the generous humans who make up our #muttmilitia it’s as simple as going to our website or engaging on this post. Our website will outline all the ways you can help and those preferring to just stay on this post can share or give with just a couple of clicks. It takes a village and we are super thankful for ours ❤️PS how cute is Jellyroll helping us put together and try out the newly donated Kuranda beds!!! Shes still available for adoption and maybe her cuteness will finally win over just the right person who needs a little of the love she has to give in their life. #marleysmutts #muttmilitia #dogrescue #foster #adopt #rescuedog #secondchance #fostering #animaladvocate #adopt #dogrescue #fosteringsaveslives #savealife #shelter #adoption #foreverhome #spayandneuter #rescuedog #rescue #adoptdontshop #adoptme #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dontshopadopt
Ok all you cat friendly houses you’re going to want to meet this sweet girl…..Meet Kenya! Kenya is amazing with her feline friends. We frequently get asked if our dogs are cat friendly and for many the answer is no but Kenya absolutely is. We hope those with cats who are looking to adopt the perfect dog will consider Kenya. What they’ll be getting isn’t just a cat friendly dog. They’ll be getting the sweetest, chillest pittie ever!!!! Kenya is a total love bug. Like roll over on her back and give her all the belly rubs love bug. She lives for human interaction and that makes it so much harder to understand how she ended up at the shelter. Kenya was picked up as a stray by the county shelter covered in fleas, ticks and foxtails. She actually had surgery to remove multiple foxtails from her anal glands. Sadly no one came for sweet Kenya and she was lingering in the shelter environment. With her breed lingering almost always guarantees getting added to the euthanasia list so when one of our amazing fosters said yes Kenya got her big break! Cat friendly isn’t Kenya’s only attribute. This girl is so incredibly chill. There’s nothing high energy about her and she’s happiest hanging on the couch with her people. Shes absolutely a lapdog, all 60lbs of her, and she’s ready to smother you with every bit of affection your heart can handle. Kenya prefers other non confrontational easy going dogs and wouldn’t do well with pushy high energy pups. Shes amazing on leash and doesn’t have any big exercise needs. Basically she’s an easy and sweet girl hoping to finally get noticed and finally have her chance at an adoptive home.#marleysmutts #muttmilitia #dogrescue #foster #adopt #rescuedog #secondchance #fostering #animaladvocate #adopt #dogrescue #fosteringsaveslives #savealife #shelter #adoption #foreverhome #spayandneuter #rescuedog #rescue #adoptdontshop #adoptme #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dontshopadopt

**Meet Jelly Roll: Our Beloved Senior Pit Bull Seeking a Forever Home**
Say hello to Jelly Roll, our adorable senior pit bull who found her way to us from Kern County Shelter. This sweet girl has become the heart of our rescue ranch, earning the affectionate title of our “house dog.”
