John Boy

John Boy is a 1-year-old Shepherd mix who is ready to find his forever home! He's been at the Kern County Animal Services - Bakersfield Shelter since June 4, 2026, and is eager for a fresh start. The shelter is a challenging environment with over 300 dogs and puppies, and John Boy, like many others, is at high risk due to limited space. He's a sweet boy just waiting for his chance to shine.
