Fendi - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Bakersfield, California

Meet Fendi

Fendi may have a broken leg, but she hasn't let it break her spirit.

This sweet little puppy is one of the newest rescues from the same property in Tecate, Mexico where we recently saved the Tecate litter. Despite everything she's been through, Fendi is happy, playful, incredibly affectionate, and just wants to be close to her people.

When we found her, her leg had already been "casted" by a kind neighbor in the barrio who was simply trying to help. Unfortunately, she was never seen by a veterinarian. We are committed to making sure Fendi receives the proper orthopedic care she deserves, and her leg will be professionally evaluated and repaired.

Fendi is wonderful with children, cats, and other dogs. Because she was frequently bullied by the larger dogs on the property-including some of her own siblings-she can be a little timid when first meeting big dogs. Give her a few hours, though, and she realizes she's safe. Before long, she's happily playing alongside them.

She is also doing great with crate training and settles in nicely, making her an easy puppy to have around the house.

Her adoption fee includes:

Professional treatment and repair of her broken leg

Spay surgery

Core vaccinations

Microchip

Deworming

Fendi has already overcome more than any puppy should have to. Through it all, she has remained loving, trusting, and resilient.

We're going to make sure her leg heals the right way. All she needs now is a family who will help heal her heart.
