Our Featured Pet...
Handsome Jack is a mix of some bully breed. We're guessing American Bulldog? This sweet boy is about 1 1/2 years old and 70lbs. He is a calm and affectionate fellow as long as his family gets him out for hikes and runs. He loves his exercise, but is also a great cuddler afterwards :) Jack wants to please and bonds strongly to his person. He is a smart and amiable boy. Jack is housetrained and is doing very well with his basic obedience. He knows sit, down, stay and more. He's also working on his Rally skills. A fun boy. Check out this nice boy's full bio on our Adoptable Pets page.

We are listing some of the many URGENT dogs currently in the Tehama County Shelter and the Merced Co. Shelter. Transport closer to the Bay Area can often be arranged. These dogs have NO TIME LEFT!!! PLEASE HELP THEM IF YOU CAN. See ISIS a sweet lab/pitt who's owner couldn't keep her, she is good with other dogs and kids . Many dogs at Merced are also in desperate need. See COCO a gorgeous, mature long haired shepherd mix, MIKEY a sweet, darling corgi mix. 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.

8/28/08 ***Looking for a dog experienced foster home, experienced with shy, herding breed types helpful. Please contact us ASAP if you can help!! We really need to get Ricky out of the kennel and into a home***
7/08 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. We recently helped DANNY (see our adoptable pet list).
This is DANNY.
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. So far we have $400 toward the $800 we spent on DANNY's treatment. Thank-you Michiko and Ken for your generous donation!! Thank-you, Janey and Zeke for your donation!!
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!)
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.
