We went here The 4th of July weekend, and though it's always sad to see so many animals needing a…read moreplace to call home, the entire experience was as good as it could be. Though busy (they were offering a no-adoption-fee promotion), the staff was exceedingly sweet and helpful, and you could tell everyone there was doing as much as they possibly could to help the people seeking assistance. There were many dogs that looked like great options - but unfortunately, we could only adopt one at this time. This said, the dog we took home is truly the best! We think she's a Visla/Chihuahua mix; she couldn't be sweeter or more kind to our little Chiweenie. On top of the staff being top-notch and the facilities being as clean as they can be, the fact that they sent us home with a bag of the food our dog was eating + a bag of treats + got her registered for us + gave us a nice collar and leash + had given him flea meds for the month - we truly could not have asked for more. If you're looking for a new pet - go here! Don't buy a dog - support this center and save a dog currently living in a sad place.

Rude lady comes to take a look at them just to say she can not take them in due to them being "sick". Mind you this lady isn't even a vet or technician.They were going to charge me $30 a piece for each of them to intake them. Lady suggested to take them to KCAS instead not knowing they'll probably get killed there and possibly not get adopted.Very unprofessional. Wanting to diagnose these babies without running test or even being certified to say exactly what's going on.Do not come here, waste of time, and clearly only want your money, makes sense coming from a non-profit organization.

If you're looking to adopt a pet, I would highly recommend visiting Bakersfield SPCA's website as I…read morewas told that it is up to date with all of the current animals that are available for adoption! It's a little difficult to get ahold of this place over the phone, but once you do, they only take same day appointments & you have to call on the day you want to visit + hope that there are free appointments. We visited to view cats and were helped shortly after arriving. According to the front desk, if the animal that you're interested in picking up has already been spayed, you can take them home the same day! Or, if they have been, they either try to get them spayed/neutered the next day, or by Tuesdays (as those are their spay/neuter days). We unexpectedly found the perfect little baby to take home, 20 minutes, a bit of paper work + calls to my apartment complex and $100 later, we were given all the paper work / vaccine records + a bag of kitten kibble! Make sure to bring your own carrier if you're really looking to pick up a furry friend on the same day. The only thing I didn't like was finding out afterwards that our little boy hadn't finished his course of vaccines. A friend of mine has adopted cats from an SPCA before & because they hadn't finished having their vaccines, they were able to go in to the facility to finish off their booster shots free of cost.

I didn't have to wait at all which was amazing! Communication with her was so easy! I have had four dogs (including the one I have now) in the past but this puppy is the smartest and easiest pup I've had. She is healthy and eats well and I can tell that they took really good care of her before they gave her to me. I strongly recommend adopting from here if you are thinking of adopting.
