The shelter has more than 300 dogs and puppies in two metal warehouses with no outdoor runs. Dogs and puppies are at high risk for euthanasia because of lack of space and too many abandoned dogs in the community. <br/> <br/>HOW TO ADOPT, RESCUE OR FOSTER<br/>Please contact CAPS if you are interested in adopting, rescuing or fostering, and we will make sure the shelter contacts you. They do not answer phones or respond often to voice messages due to understaffing. The dogs are in Bakersfield, not Thousand Oaks. <br/> <br/>HOW TO CONTACT CAPS<br/>https://caps-web.org/contact<br/>No phone calls, please. Please use our contact form or reach out to us through Petfinder.<br/> <br/>FOSTER HOMES<br/>Fosters must live in Kern County.<br/> <br/>TRANSPORT<br/>CAPS can arrange transportation if you are on the West Coast. Adopters are responsible for transport fees.
