Rim - URGENT

This tiny puppy, Rim, is in urgent need of a loving home. He's a 9-week-old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a runny nose, which unfortunately puts him at a higher risk at the shelter. Rim has been at the Kern County Animal Services - Bakersfield Shelter since May 14, 2026, and is ready to leave his temporary housing for a forever family. The shelter is overcrowded, with over 300 dogs and puppies in need of homes, making Rim's situation especially time-sensitive.

Ideal Home

Rim is a puppy and needs a home that can provide him with the care and attention he deserves.

Ongoing Health

Rim has a runny nose, which is the reason for his urgent placement. Further health details can be provided upon inquiry.

Training & Support

As a young puppy, Rim will need guidance and patience with house training.
