Our mission:

Pet Matchmaker Rescue’s Halfway Home Bakersfield aims to reduce the number of euthanized animals from Animal Control facilities. We also aim to reduce the number of stray animals in Kern county and hope to build a knowledgeable and understanding community. We aim to provide high quality care including, food, shelter and medical services for these animals until they are adopted to a forever family.

UPCOMING EVENTS!!

No upcoming events at this time… TOO HOT!

***********************************

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:

UPDATE 7/11/11:

WE ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO HELP PLAN A VERY LARGE BENEFIT/FUNDRAISER TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF SAVING UP FOR OUR NEW FACILITY.  WE ARE MOVING OUT OF OUR M STREET LOCATION THIS WEEK, AND WILL BE STRICTLY RELYING ON FOSTER HOMES UNTIL OUR NEW FACILITY IS CONSTRUCTED!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO FOSTER, WE DESPERATELY NEED PEOPLE TO TAKE DOGS/PUPS INTO THEIR HOMES SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO HELP KERN COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL RELIEVE THEIR OVERWHELMING NUMBERS A BIT… PLEASE EMAIL PETMATCHMAKERCA@GMAIL.COM IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP IN ANY WAY!

We have recently purchases 3 acres to continue our mission to help animals in need in Kern county. We are in the beginning stages of planning and constructing a kennel specifically for the Pet Matchmaker dogs and puppies to make them comfortable and keep them happy in their stay with us until they find their forever home. We are currently looking for donations of Lowes, Home Depot, or any other “home improvement” gift cards to begin purchasing supplies needed to construct the future indoor/outdoor kennels. We are also looking for larger corporations or donors to donate things such as kennels, puppy playrooms, etc. which will be “donor named” with a plaque. For more information on what you can do to help with this wonderful project for the animals, please contact us at petmatchmakerca@gmail.com! Thanks!

Pictures of the new place COMING SOON! 

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!
• 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 petmatchmakerca@gmail.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
