SNOW
 
This beauty has so much soul!

On a recent visit to the Bakersfield shelter we pulled a little white dog we named Snow. The Bakersfield shelter is very crowed and has a high euthanasia rate. What we did not know when we pulled this beautiful dog is that she was about to give birth.  We have a special place in our heart for mother dogs at The Rescue Train. Snow has been one of the best mother dogs we have ever seen! The last of Snow's puppies have just gone home and now it's her turn to find love.
 
Snow  is a 25 pound cattle dog/ Eskimo mix and is under the age of two. We can say that after a decade of rescue work we can easily say she is one of the most soulful special dogs we have ever rescued.  She's a real people dog. She just can't love you enough. Her hobbies include giving kisses, staring into your eyes lovingly and sitting loyally by your side. She just finished ten days of obedience training and knows many commands. She is fearful and defensive around other dogs probably due to some trauma in her past. Her litter of puppies was a large breed for her small body. Our dog trainer feels that she needs to be the only dog in the home. Can you open your heart and home to Snow?  In return you will get a life time of devotion and unconditional love.

TOOTSIE

Hello Tootsie

Tootsie and her four newborn puppies were dropped of at a vet's office. They were in a toy box and Tootsie had a rope around her neck. Apparently they had been saved from a horrific ending at the city dump. How people can do such things is beyond comprehension. This darling little dog and her puppies couldn't be any sweeter or more loveable not to mention ADORABLE! Tootsie is a Dashchund/Chihuahua mix and is just a puppy herself (a little over a year old). Her puppies are have just been weaned and she's ready to find her forever home. She is playful and funny. She got her name as she was rescued around Halloween and her favorite toy the day we photographed her was a toy Tootsie Roll. She is a little shy until she feel safe as the world has been scary up until this point. That being said she has a gentle happy soul.She needs someone to spend time with her that is home more often than not. Tootsie is learning some basic obedience commands. She is crate trained and will be vaccinated, micro chipped and spayed prior to adoption. If you have questions about our adoption procedure or donation please visit www.TheRescueTrain.org and click on "Adopt A Dog". Can you open your heart and home to Tootsie? In return you will get a life time of devotion and unconditional love!

NADIA

This dog will take your breath away!

Nadia's striking regal beauty is only matched by the sweetness of her soul! This poor pup was found wandering in Elysian Park underfed and frightened, but with enough trust to shower wet kisses on her rescuers. She is under a year old, weighs 80 lbs and is social and affectionate. Nadia is a graduate from The Rescue Train's "Trained For Life Program", (to read more about this program go to www.TheRescueTrain.org). She is completely obedience trained and her new owner will get a lesson with Nadia’s dog trainer to learn what she has learned. We are looking for an adopter who loves dogs and wants to make Nadia an important part of their life and a priority. Someone who will be interested in Nadia’s training and her potential to learn more.  Experience with dogs preferred, no children under the age of twelve.Nadia is playful and all puppy; she would love to crawl in your lap and bask in all your attention, as she thinks she’s a lap-dog!  Big on hugs and kisses, Nadia is truly looking for someone to love and bond with.She wants to be your very best friend, although she would gladly share you with another canine companion as she loves to play and belong. Nadia’s guardian should be able to give her adequate exercise as she is a young, large breed dog and loves to go on walks.  While she most prefers to be at your side in your home, when she is out in the yard it must be secure!  This highly adoptable girl is spayed, micro chipped, current on all vaccinations and crate trained.  Nadia is a fabulous dog whether you are adding to your canine family or want that special one to one experience; you will find it in this beautiful sweet girl.  Open up your heart and home and in return Nadia will fill your life with all the loyalty and unconditional love that only a wonderful dog like this can give.
