About Big Boy Urgent

Big Boy is in desperate need of a home right now. He’s a three-year-old Pit Bull/Bulldog mix stuck at the Kern County Animal Services shelter, battling an upper respiratory infection. This puts him at extreme risk, and he has been living in a crowded, warehouse-style shelter, with hundreds of other dogs, since late May 2026. Life hasn’t been easy for Big Boy—he’s running out of time and options. He isn’t yet house trained and will need patience to adjust, but this dog’s only real requirement is a safe place to heal and a human to care about him. Adopters should know the shelter won’t often answer calls—they’re overwhelmed—so reach out to CAPS if you can be his lifeline. He’s in Thousand Oaks, CA, but still waiting in Bakersfield. Fosters need to live in Kern County, while West Coast adopters can get help with transport, though fees apply. Give Big Boy a genuine chance. Every animal in that shelter is hoping for a break, but few need it as urgently as he does. Click apply to start the adoption process.
