Overcrowding continues to be an issue at Kern County Animal Shelter, where population has exceeded twice the capacity

22/04/2025

Hi! I'm Ella, a 6-year-old, female white-and-blue American pit bull terrier! Don’t I have the most gorgeous markings? I think so too! I am hoping I’ll stand out to you because I would love to find a family of my own here in SLO County. I came from LA to make room in my previous shelter for the owned animals rescued during the wildfires. I was happy to help them, and now I’m hoping you’ll help me. Can you like, share or comment on my photo so that I can find the home I’ve been dreaming of? I’ll be here at Woods SLO from 12-4 p.m., waiting for a family to adopt me.

Update:

Meatball is still urgently seeking a forever home and should be the only pet in the household. His current owners may be compelled to place him in a shelter, which would leave his future uncertain.

Rescued, Not Forgotten: A Mother’s Will to Survive

For over a two months, we searched for a mother dog who had disappeared while pregnant. We didn’t know if she’d survived, if her pups made it, or if anyone had helped her. When we finally found her, we realized she had been doing whatever she could to keep herself alive—not just for her own sake, but for her babies.

In her desperation, she was eating grass, hay—anything—to keep her stomach full, not for nourishment, but to make sure she could produce enough for her pups. That’s the instinct of a mother. Her body was worn, but her spirit remained.

This isn’t just about dogs. It’s about mothers of all kinds. Struggling, surviving, doing everything they can with what little they have—not always visible in our everyday lives. Whether they walk on two legs or four, motherhood is a journey of sacrifice and resilience.

Our nonprofit doesn’t just rescue animals. We shed light on their stories—especially mothers like her—because they remind us of something bigger. You’ll see us pushing strollers at events, but not just for human babies. Some are for dog moms too. Every life matters.

Let’s continue raising awareness. Let’s give these mothers the recognition and support they deserve.

Urgent Notice: Adoption Inquiries

Please, only reach out if you are fully committed to adopting. We cannot afford time or resources on home inspections for those who are unsure or might change their minds. Our dogs are desperate for loving homes, and every moment wasted is a heartbreak for us all.

We are not accepting more dogs right now; our current residents need homes—many have been waiting far too long. Imagine being overlooked repeatedly! While our kennels provide care, nothing compares to a loving home. Your unwanted pet is not more important than our dogs, who are not broken or less deserving.

We invest in their care with quality food, vet services, and love. We refuse to place them in unsuitable homes out of desperation. Our commitment is to do what’s best for them, and we will only consider adopters who share that dedication.

If you want to adopt, please ensure your home is suitable and ready for a lifelong commitment. We welcome applications for a family member in a secure property, not as a mere security dog. Do not waste our time if you are not certain. Thank you.

🐾 Meet Chole: From Abandonment to Adoration! 🐾

Chole’s journey began under heartbreaking circumstances. Abandoned at just two weeks old, she was left to fend for herself in the trash in Bakersfield. Fortunately, fate had other plans. Piper’s Fund stepped in to rescue her from the brink of despair. With the dedication of our incredible volunteers, we bottle-fed her, ensured she received the nutrition she desperately needed, and showered her with love and care.

Today, Chole is thriving in her forever home with her amazing new mom, Kenzie, in beautiful San Luis Obispo, CA! 🌟 Watching her grow and flourish is a testament to the power of compassion and community.

This story highlights why fostering is so crucial. Every day, countless dogs like Chole find themselves in dire situations, and with your help, we can make a difference. By becoming a foster, you can provide a safe haven for these animals, giving them the chance to heal and find loving homes.

Let’s join together to save more lives! If you’re interested in fostering or want to learn how you can help, reach out to us today. Together, we can create more happy endings like Chole’s! ❤️🐶

🐾 Piper’s Fund Adoption Process 🐾

Are you ready to welcome a furry friend into your home? Here’s how to adopt from Piper’s Fund! We take every step to ensure our dogs find the loving homes they deserve.

Complete an Application
Start by filling out our adoption application. This helps us learn more about you and what kind of dog would be the best fit for your family.

Provide Your ID
To keep our dogs safe, we require a copy of your government-issued ID. This step verifies your identity and commitment to responsible pet ownership.

Current Vet Reference
We ask for a reference from your current veterinarian. This ensures you have a history of caring for pets and understand their needs.

Allow a Home Visit
A home visit is essential! Depending on your location, this may be conducted virtually or in person. This helps us ensure your home is a safe and loving environment for a dog.

⚠️ Important Note: If you are not willing to complete any of these steps, we cannot allow you to adopt. These measures are in place to protect our dogs from potential abuse and to prevent them from ending up back in shelters.

Thank you for your understanding and dedication to providing a safe, loving home for our dogs. Together, we can make a difference! 🐶❤️
