Wade is in urgent need of a home. This 3-year-old Labrador Retriever mix currently resides at the Kern County Animal Services - Bakersfield Shelter. He has a short black coat and is ready to find a loving family. Time is of the essence as he has an upper respiratory infection and will face euthanasia if not adopted soon. Wade is not yet house trained and has not been altered, but he is up to date on vaccinations. The Companion Animal Protection Society (CAPS) works with the shelter to rescue at-risk dogs like Wade. He has been waiting for a new home since June 16, 2026. The need for fosters in Kern County is high, and if you're somewhere on the West Coast, CAPS can help arrange transportation. Don't let this wonderful dog down; he’s ready for his forever home. Are you ready to step up and help save him? Click apply to start the adoption process.
