Luna has been waiting for the person who never came back for her. Her owner was contacted nearly a month ago, but Luna is still at the shelter — patiently waiting for a new family to choose her.

And honestly? Luna is a dream to walk. She is calm, gentle, and incredibly easy on leash. She loves spending time with people, happily accepts affection, and knows commands like “sit” and “wait.” She can be a little nervous at times, but once she knows you, she is a loving and gentle companion.

She is also friendly and social with other dogs in playgroup! She has quickly become a volunteer favorite and is ready for a peaceful home where she can finally feel safe, loved, and wanted. ❤️

Luna deserves someone who will choose her and never leave her wondering when they’re coming back.

Luna is at Kern County Animal Shelter in Bakersfield. SafePawsRide is based in Davis and can help connect you with transporters who can bring her to you throughout California and across the country.

Edit: Opal has been adopted!!

Opal is the kind of dog who makes you wonder how she ended up at the shelter in the first place. She’s affectionate, happy, treat-motivated, and happiest when she can simply be near someone. At just one year old, somehow this sweet girl is still waiting for someone to choose her.

She walks well on leash, although she gets excited and sometimes breaks into the cutest little jumps and spins. She’s a silly, happy girl who just needs a little guidance and someone willing to help her keep learning.

And Opal really enjoys other dogs. 🐾 In playgroup, she was very friendly, happily initiated play, and loved being around the other dogs. She can be a little goofy and enthusiastic, but she responded well to corrections. She just wants to make friends and have fun.

She wasn’t interested in fetch. She didn’t need a toy to be happy. She just wanted to explore, enjoy the sunshine, and be close to people.

Opal doesn’t need to be perfect. She doesn’t need someone looking for the most impressive dog in the shelter. She needs someone who will look at those blue eyes and say, “You’re coming home with me.” 🩵

If you’ve been thinking about adding a dog to your family, please don’t overlook Opal. Her time at the shelter doesn’t change how wonderful she is — but every day she waits is another day she spends hoping someone will notice her.
