🌟 Meet the lovely Wanda, a vibrant 12-week-old Labrador Retriever full of life and potential! This darling girl has found herself in a bit of a pickle, battling an upper respiratory infection, and she truly needs your warm heart to recover and thrive. Can you imagine this ball of joy getting snuggles and the tender care she so deeply deserves? 🐾 Wanda has been at the shelter since December 9, 2025, and she’s ready to leap into a loving home that can offer her comfort and healing. Just picture her wagging tail and shiny coat shining bright in a space filled with love and laughter! 🐶❤️ Now, here's the kicker: Wanda has been a resident at the shelter for longer than a month, and with the challenges faced by many dogs in community shelters, time is of the essence. 🕰️ So let’s rally together and find her that forever home! And this is a crucial reminder, friends: adopting must happen in person. Foster homes need to be in Kern County, with the pups located in Bakersfield, and there’s no need to fret if you’re on the West Coast. CAPS can organize safe transportation! 🚗💖 Let Wanda be your shining light in a world full of chaos. Remember, you can **bookmark her in the Buddy App** and *apply to adopt her today*! Let’s make miracles happen, one paw at a time! 🥰✨
