Chicharron URGENTLY needs a rescue, foster, or forever home where he can thrive. This 1.5-year-old Vizsla mix is currently at Kern County Animal Services in Bakersfield, having been sheltered since August 13, 2026. It’s crucial that Chicharron finds a loving environment where he can be part of a family. He has a short coat and boasts a beautiful red/chestnut/orange coloration. As a young, energetic dog, he’s looking for someone who can keep up with his playful spirit. Though not altered yet, he is up-to-date on vaccinations. Keep in mind that the shelter’s situation is dire; with over 300 dogs crammed into limited space, the risk of euthanasia increases dramatically. If you’re interested in adopting or fostering Chicharron, please contact the Companion Animal Protection Society (CAPS) to get the process underway. Keep in mind that potential fosters must reside in Kern County. Chicharron is ready to love and be loved. Don’t wait; he deserves a chance at happiness!
