The Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry emerged out of a pursuit to support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. Established in 2009, we’re an organization driven by compassion. The Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry provides a resource to help owners continue caring for their long-term family pets despite economic hardship.

Friends of the Kern County Animal Shelters Foundation - Veterinary care assistance of up to $200 is available to pet owners in specific areas of unincorporated Kern County who find themselves in need of critical veterinary care for their pets.

Waggle, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, is dedicated to keeping companion animals and their families together. They strive to ensure that the lives of family pets are not cut short because pet guardians lack the necessary funds to cover the cost of vital veterinary treatment, whether for an emergency or ongoing care.

They have already provided over $1M to our community of 1,000 veterinary hospitals to save 5,000-plus pets, who were at risk of falling victim to economic euthanasia. Here are but a few of Waggle success stories, all with happy endings: https://www.waggle.org/success-stories.
