🌟 Meet the incredible and lovable Chase! 🐾 At just 1 year and 1 month old, this majestic German Shepherd is not only full of life but is also in urgent need of a safe and loving home to recover from a treatable upper-respiratory illness. He’s been through a lot during his time at the shelter since January 28, 2026, but he’s ready to turn the page and start a new chapter filled with love and joy. Chase’s personality is as vibrant as his striking looks. His spirit shines bright, and all he wants is a warm place to call home! ✨ Imagine his tail wagging like a motor as he greets you at the door, showering you with affection and joy. This playful boy is not only smart but has a heart full of love to give. 🥰 But time is not on his side—he’s running out of time at the shelter! In the bustling Kern County Animal Services facility, with over 300 dogs in need of homes, Chase’s chance for a forever family is slipping away. It’s vital that someone steps forward and helps him find that safe haven he so desperately needs. 🆘 Every moment spent waiting is an opportunity lost, so don't let Chase's story end here! 📅 Fun fact: Chase’s birthday is under the sign of Aquarius! Aquarians are known for being independent and unique—just like our buddy Chase! 🌊 If you feel a spark in your heart witnessing Chase’s plight, take that leap of faith! He needs YOU to apply through the Buddy App. Every adoption matters, and you could be the one to transform his life! Remember, potential adopters must meet and adopt Chase in person at the Kern County shelter. Let’s make magic happen for this beautiful soul! ✨💖
