We had a great experience boarding our Great Dane with Jeffry. They kept us updated with pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent, and it s clear they genuinely care about the animals they watch. Our dog was well cared for, and we ll definitely be back in the future!

Thank you so so much, Heather. You were amazing for keeping up with my Canelo. He is absolutely one of a kind.!! I appreciate you for caring for him and having the most patience with that boy keeping him busy and watching movies with him I think was his favorite moment most definitely Canelo will be spending some more time with you. Thank you.

H.A.L.T. 5/10K Fun Run
If you were inspired by the description of the work of H.A.L.T. Rescue higher up this page, check out the Bakersfield rescue group’s annual 5K or 10K Fun Run. Held at Yokuts Park, this event raises much-need funds to benefit the local non-profit and help save the lives of animals in need. Active owners and their pooches are encouraged to come along and get their paws moving for a good cause, with a heap of fun to enjoy once you’ve crossed the finish line! The first dog to finish gets an award and a special photo shoot, while there’s also a vendor fair with plenty of great products and doggy demonstrations.

Dog Day at the Park
Each year, the American Kennel Club sponsors AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Day, with hundreds of events held around the country. Dog Day at the Park is Bakersfield’s local event, and it’s held in Mill Creek’s Central Park every October. With a goal to educate first-time dog owners about responsible dog ownership, the event features dog-sport demonstrations, low-cost vaccinations and microchipping, pet adoptions, a blessing of the animals, and the always-popular Halloween costume contest! Dogs of all shapes and sizes are welcome to attend, but they must be on leashes and their best behaviour.

Gone to the Dogs
Want to get some exercise with your dog in a relaxed social setting? Want to raise some money for a paw-sitively wonderful animal welfare group at the same time? Gone to the Dogs is the event for you! Held in Tehachapi during September, this 5K fun run/walk and pet festival is an un-timed event that helps raise funds for Have a Heart Humane Society. The run/walk kicks off at 9:30 am and you and your pet are welcome to take it as fast or slow as you would like. Best of all, once you’ve completed the course, you and Rover can kick back and relax at the pet festival, enjoying pet vendors, meeting dog rescue groups, and indulging in a day full of dog-friendly games!
Walk to End Alzheimer's
Take your furry friend for a walk and raise much-needed funds for the Alzheimer's Association at this annual outdoor event. There are more than 600 community walks held around the country each year, and Bakersfield’s takes place at The Park at River Walk. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome, so you and your fur-kid can enjoy some quality time together as you take a stroll. While there’s no registration fee, every walker is asked to make a personal donation and commit to raising funds in the fight against Alzheimer’s
