🌟 Meet Tora, a delightful 1-year and 8-month-old Labrador Retriever mix who’s just been dealt a tough hand! This sweet girl has been diagnosed with a treatable upper-respiratory illness, and she’s counting on someone special to give her a safe haven while she gets back to her vibrant self! Isn't that a noble cause to brighten your day? 🐶✨ Tora is full of love and potential, and she’s just waiting for a kind human to come sweep her off her paws. She’s currently at the Kern County Animal Services, where she's been since January 9th, 2026. With a heart as big as her dreams, she’s longing for a warm home where she can feel the joy of recovery! 🌈💖 Imagine the cuddles, the tail wags, and the affection that’s waiting for you both! Now, let’s give a cheer for the brave souls at Companion Animal Protection Services (CAPS), who are teaming up with the shelter to help find homes for these high-risk pups. With over 300 dogs and puppies needing love, Tora is one of many who needs a hero—could that hero be you? 🦸‍♀️🐕 IMPORTANT: Adopters and foster homes must be located in Kern County to ensure Tora can receive the immediate care she needs. And while CAPS is doing their best to help, remember that reaching out via email is the magic key since they aren't able to answer the phone often. So, are you ready to bring a joyful spirit into your life? Don’t wait! It’s time for Tora to shine in her forever home! Apply to adopt her today through the Buddy App and make a difference in her life! 🌟✨
