About Lily - URGENT AND AT RISK

Lily is a sweet 6-year-old German Shepherd Dog who is in urgent need of a loving home. She's currently at the Kern County Animal Services - Bakersfield Shelter, and due to an upper respiratory infection, her time there is unfortunately limited. Lily deserves a chance to thrive outside of the stressful shelter environment, where she has been since May 13, 2026.

Ideal Home

Lily needs a quiet and stable environment where she can recover and feel safe.

Ongoing Health

Lily is currently being treated for an upper respiratory infection. It's important for her new family to continue any recommended veterinary care to ensure her full recovery.

Training & Support

Lily is not house-trained, so she will need patience and consistency in a new home to learn these skills.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • Please note that CAPS is a partner organization with Kern County Animal Services, and the dogs are located in Bakersfield, not Thousand Oaks.
  • Due to understaffing at the shelter, they do not often answer phones or respond to voicemails.

Transportation

Lily is currently located in Bakersfield, California. CAPS can arrange transportation for her if you are on the West Coast. Adopters will be responsible for any associated transport fees.
