Our Adoptable Pet List

Our Featured Pet...

RICKY is a darling boy. At 40lbs. he's a compact little guy and a great size to take along with you. Handsome and obedient, he's able to focus well on his person. He's a bonder and very affectionate. He needs his exercise and passed his herding instinct test, so might be a fun project for someone interested in sheep herding. He's a bit of a nervous boy and has a protective streak, so he needs a dog experienced person(s), but for someone with a quiet home that gets lots of exercise, he's a really neat little guy. See his full bio on our adoptable pets listing.

News

We are listing some of the many URGENT dogs currently in the Tehama County Shelter and the Merced Co. Shelter. See KEEGAN a young Ridgeback(?) mix in desperate need and ROXANNE a wonderful pitty girl . Transport closer to the Bay Area can often be arranged. These dogs have NO TIME LEFT!!! PLEASE HELP THEM IF YOU CAN. Many dogs at Merced are also in desperate need. If any touch your heart and you can provide a good home, please contact the shelter IMMEDIATELY 530-527-3439 for Red Bluff and 209-385-7436 for Merced. There are many other wonderful pets at these shelters. To see Red Bluff's complete list go to http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/CA255.html . They can arrange to have dogs vetted for you up there, and we can help with transport to the Bay Area if you find the dog of your dreams. Also contact us if you might be willing to foster any of these pups. Note that Tehama County has a high incidence of heartworm. You may want to have dogs over 6 months old tested before adoption if the cost of treatment is prohibitive for you.

We've added a * to the dogs on the petlist that are fostered here in the Bay Area to help folks see which dogs are currently local as we have some courtesy postings and also list urgent dogs still in the shelters.

6/15/09 Looking for a herding breed experienced foster home for Andy. This boy passed his sheep herding instinct test and would love someone to continue with him.

6/09 We call our heartworm treatment fund HUNTER'S HEART FUND in memory of a very nice pup that didn't make it because he was heartworm positive and there was no help. Please contact us if you'd like to contribute. Our funds are currently depleted. DAWN is our current recipeint.
This is sweet DAWN.
It just takes funds and a foster home to help these dogs! If you can contribute even just $5 or $10, please contact us right away. Thank-you Sherri, Thank-you Karin, Thank-you Sally for your contributions! Only $200 more dollars to go! Dawn received her treatment, but we need to replenish our funds for the next pup in need. See Dawn's bio on our adoptable pets page.

Who We Are

WKODIT (What Kind of Dog is That?!) is a rescue focusing on mixed breed dogs whose time has run out at kill-shelters. We strive to provide our foster pups with a home environment during their stay with us. They receive necessary vet care and lots of attention. We are currently a small rescue located in the S.F. Bay Area (though our size is only limited by the number of foster homes we have!). We are a member of the Rescue Alliance for Hairless and Other Breeds, Inc. a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Adopting a friend

To adopt a dog from WKODIT, you should e-mail or call us and let us know which dog you're interested in as well as some information about yourself and the home you could provide. We will e-mail you our adoption application and if you seem like a good match we will arrange an "interview" with the dog you are interested in. If you both like each other and you wish to adopt or arrange a sleepover, we will deliver the pup to you so we can make sure the pup and your home are a good match as well. You must sign an adoption agreement and pay an adoption fee, which is generally $175.00 but may vary depending on the dog's expenses. We do support "sleepovers" to allow both parties to confirm that they are the one.
