Also a really nice pair of kitties, QUIZNO and ROCKET. 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.See handsome LANDON a lab mix 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.

10/22/09 - We're still in need of a foster home for Jingles (now Winston) if anyone would enjoy helping out this very outgoing, darling boy. He's great company!!
7/12/09 Thanks Michelle and Dani for your help at the LA HONDA FLEA MARKET on July 12th, and thanks to everyone who donated and purchased items. We really appreciate it!
7/12/09 Still looking for a herding breed experienced foster home for Andy. This boy passed his sheep herding instinct test and would love someone to continue working 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. Our funds are currently depleted. If you feel moved to donate to this cause, checks made out to Rescue Alliance and mailed to our address below are tax deductible. Please note Hunter's Heart Fund on the contribution. DAWN was our latest recipient.
This is sweet DAWN who has since found a loving home.
It just takes funds and a foster home to help these dogs! If you can contribute even just $5 or $10, it all adds up!. 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 happy tails page.
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.
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.
