Dixie Tucker Trudy's Story

May 1st, 2023: Hoarding dogs rescued!

"In the heart of Bakersfield, a tale of hope unfolded as we embarked on a mission to rescue dogs from a dire hoarding situation. Among the thirteen dogs living in cramped and challenging conditions, a family of six siblings, a charming mix of German Shepherd and Labrador, caught our attention. From this close-knit group, we welcomed three into our care: Dixie, Tucker, and Trudy."

"Each of these furry siblings had a story to tell. Dixie, with her gentle eyes, Tucker, the brave-hearted, and Trudy, the spirited explorer, quickly became part of our world. Meanwhile, the story was far from over for the others. Fifteen more dogs awaited their chance at freedom and love, a challenge that the shelter took on with determination."

"In time, each of these souls found their place in the world, but the journey of Dixie, Tucker, and Trudy with us was just beginning. It was a journey of healing, discovery, and the unwavering bond of siblings reunited against all odds. Our adventure with them was a reminder of the resilience of spirit and the power of compassion."

First Day!

"Trudy, Dixie, and Tucker began with high energy and a keen interest in playing with us. We engaged in playtime every day. Remarkably, they never barked, only whimpering at night when they longed to join us as we headed to bed. As for their activities, they enjoyed a variety of games and exercises. We often played fetch in the park, where they would eagerly chase after balls or frisbees. They also loved tug-of-war, vigorously pulling on their rope toys with great enthusiasm. On sunny days, we'd set up a small agility course in the backyard, watching them navigate through hoops and tunnels with agility and excitement. During our walks, they were always curious, sniffing around and exploring every new scent and sound."

Meet Dixie

"Dixie, embodying a unique blend of shyness and independence, was a delightful enigma. She was a bit more reserved compared to her siblings, often preferring her own company. This independence, however, did not diminish her charm. In the great outdoors, particularly in the lush embrace of the grass, Dixie found her true sanctuary... "

Dixie

"We are thrilled to share the wonderful news that Dixie, our remarkably gentle and smart German Shepherd, has found her forever home! During her two-month stay with us, Dixie charmed everyone with her sweet demeanor and impressive intelligence. She was adopted in May, and we are overjoyed for her. We're confident that she'll bring the same happiness and affection to her new family as she did to ours.

Lola

"Great news from our furry friends' corner – Lola, our super active and playful puppy, found her forever home in August! When Lola first came to us, she faced some health challenges, but with dedicated care and love from our team, she blossomed into a healthy and vivacious pup. Her new family, who are avid hikers and beach-goers, are a perfect match for her energetic and adventurous spirit. We're overjoyed knowing Lola is now enjoying life to the fullest, surrounded by love and endless opportunities for fun. Here's to many happy trails and beach days ahead for Lola and her new family!"

Pentunia

We are thrilled to share the heartwarming story of Petunia, a little Shih Tzu who brightened our lives for three wonderful months. From the moment she arrived as a tiny, few-weeks-old puppy, Petunia enchanted us with her loving nature and delightful personality. She had a way of making everyone smile and reminded us so much of our previously adopted Shih Tzu, both in looks and spirit. We are overjoyed to announce that Petunia has found her forever home and is now living a fantastic life, filled with love and joy. It's stories like Petunia's that warm our hearts and remind us of the beauty of fostering.

Heidi and Frank

"We are overjoyed to share the wonderful news about Heidi and Frank, two adorable 15-year-old Chihuahuas who were part of our foster family for over three months. These two were the epitome of love and cuteness, winning the hearts of everyone they met. Their journey with us was filled with affection and sweet moments. We are thrilled to announce that they have found their forever home with a fantastic family, who are a perfect match for them in every way. It's a beautiful sight to see such a special bond formed. We wish Heidi, Frank, and their new family a lifetime of happiness and shared love!"
