About Zipper - URGENT AND AT RISK

Zipper is a charming 1-year-old Chihuahua who is urgently seeking a loving forever home. He's currently at the Kern County Animal Services - Bakersfield Shelter and has been ready for his new chapter since May 11, 2026. Zipper has a brave heart but is currently battling an upper respiratory infection, making him a high-priority candidate for a loving home outside the shelter environment.

Ideal Home

Zipper needs a quiet and comfortable home where he can recover and truly blossom.

Ongoing Health

Zipper is currently being treated for an upper respiratory infection.

Training & Support

Zipper is not house-trained, so he will need patience and consistency in his new home to learn.

Application Details:

  • Applications to adopt Zipper start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

Zipper is located at the Kern County Animal Services - Bakersfield Shelter. Companion Animal Protection Services (CAPS) can arrange transportation for Zipper if you are on the West Coast, though adopters will be responsible for transport fees.
