Pawcasso

My story

Meet Pawcasso! This 1-year-old pup is a playful, affectionate, and gentle soul. Much like his name, he's proven to be a true work of heart🎨 He loves to run, explore, and zoom around the yard with his Shepherd/Lab foster brother. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes and is especially gentle with puppies. He’s full of energy and joy, always ready to play or snuggle up with you on the couch. Pawcasso is thriving in foster care and has done great with his potty training—he consistently goes outside and picks up on routines quickly. He came to us through Bakersfield Strays, a group that works to place stray dogs from Kern County—an area overwhelmed with homeless animals—into rescues that can help them find homes. While Pawcasso may be timid in new environments, he warms up with a little patience and encouragement. Once he feels secure, he blossoms into his full, happy self. He can shut down around pushy or dominant dogs, so a calm and friendly companion is best for helping him feel confident and safe. Pawcasso is a sweet, sensitive young dog who’s come a long way and is ready for a loving home where he can continue to thrive. --------------- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers. Be Ready: If your application is selected, our rescue counselor will be in touch for a phone interview. Adoptions can happen quickly so be prepared for our call, only apply for dogs that every family member in the home wants, and wait to apply until you return from your vacation. Please Keep in Mind: Due to high demand, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we may not reach out if we have already approved a family to adopt. The process can take several days. Thank you for your patience!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Pawcasso, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
