Having a new facility is wonderful, and with it we are able to help save so many more dogs! But there are many things we could still use here at the rescue- read below for “gift” ideas for the dogs and the people that love and help them each day until they find their forever home!
WISH LIST:

OUR TRUCK IS ON IT’S LAST LEGS, AND TO AVOID BEING STUCK WITHOUT A TRANSPORT VEHICLE (A MAJOR POTENTIAL DISASTER), WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF RAISING THE FUNDS TO PURCHASE A CARGO VAN WITH THE ABILITY TO TOW OUR ADOPTION TRAILER. DONATIONS CAN BE MADE ON THE PAYPAL BUTTON JUST BELOW THE GOAL THERMOMETER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
- Wet dog food, bleach, laundry detergent, paper towels, garbage bags, etc- all things needed, used and bought on a VERY regular basis!
- Plastic or wire crates- new or gently used, all sizes
- Kuranda beds: We are desperately needing donations of dog beds for the facility as we have taken in several more dogs over the last week than expected! Please help keep them comfortable by clicking HERE and choose “Pet Matchmaker Rescue- Bakersfield, CA” in the drop down box to give them a nice soft bed to sleep on. They will greatly appreciate it! ALL SIZES NEEDED
- Collars (all sizes) and leashes
- Volunteers: All ages (children under 18 must have a waiver signed prior to volunteering). The dogs all need some loving and walking, and we can always use help with projects around the facility, cleaning, grant writing, you name it! If you are interested in helping with grants (we desperately need this!!), PLEASE contact Morgan at moshe1999@aol.com.

Our nice big play yard for the dogs to run around, burn off some energy and interact with us and each other- making them well socialized with both humans and other dogs, large and small
Just a few of some of the Mama dogs rescued from euthanasia at kill shelters in Kern County, now enjoying their “maternity suites” with their babies at the rescue
