Meet 'Bebe' – the newest member of our rescue family!

Bebe’s journey began when a kind-hearted Samaritan found her and shared her story on the Nextdoor App. Despite waiting patiently for her owner to come forward, no one claimed her. That’s when we stepped in to give her the care and love she deserves. Bebe is an affectionate, attention-loving pup, estimated to be around 10–12 weeks old. While we suspect she might be a Dachshund mix.

Penelope’s Rescue Journey:

Penelope was discovered all alone in the grass near a building, in heartbreaking condition. She was severely underweight, infested with fleas, and suffering from a respiratory infection so severe that her eyes were sealed shut—unable to see the world around her.

Thanks to dedicated veterinary care, love, and patience, Penelope began her incredible recovery. Her eyes opened, her breathing improved, and her sweet, playful personality finally had a chance to shine.

Now healthy, happy, and full of life, Penelope is ready to find the loving forever home she has always deserved.

This affectionate and playful little kitten is litterbox trained and estimated to be about 8–9 weeks old. If you’re interested in adopting Penelope, please send us a message to request an application. She’s ready to meet her new family—could it be yours?

Meet Chester!

Chester’s story began when our dedicated local networker, spotted him wandering alone in her neighborhood and stepped in to help. This sweet little guy has a gentle nature and is comfortable with kind handling. Estimated to be around 3 months old, Chester is already neutered and vaccinated, ready to start his journey toward a loving home.

Having grown up feral, he’s still learning proper litter box habits, but we’re confident he’ll catch on quickly. Chester will soon have his first wellness check at the vet, get microchipped, and then he’ll be all set for his forever home!

If you’re interested in adopting Chester, we’d love to hear from you! Please message us directly to request an adoption application.

Meet Niles!

Say hello to Niles, a cheerful and energetic pup with a heart full of love! This little adventurer was found wandering the streets of Fresno before being brought to the Fresno Humane Shelter by a kind-hearted individual. Niles arrived alongside Daphne (though they aren’t related), and it didn’t take long for his sweet and friendly personality to shine.

Niles is a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with everyone—cats, dogs, kids, and even strangers! True to his Jack Russell spirit, he’s full of energy and joy, but we believe he’s a mix of Jack Russell and Chihuahua. At just 5 months old and 10 pounds, he’s the perfect combination of playful and affectionate. Whether it’s zooming around or snuggling up for cuddles and kisses, Niles loves it all.

CAVA Sanctuary, located in San Joaquin County, California, is proud to have Niles in its care. He is currently being fostered in Stockton, CA, where he’s waiting to bring endless joy to his forever family.

Meet Victor, our newest addition to the Rescue family! 💫

Victor is an adorable Chihuahua/Poodle/Terrier mix, approximately 2 years old, and weighing in at just 10 lbs. This little guy is on a mission to find his perfect forever home.

Victor’s journey hasn’t been easy. He spent a long time roaming the streets of Stockton until a kind-hearted family took him in. They searched tirelessly for a rescue group to help Victor, and that’s where we came in. He’s been with us for about a month as we worked on getting him prepared for adoption. When Victor first arrived, he was timid and reactive, which his rescuers explained was how he had initially behaved with them too. But with time and patience, Victor began to trust them and became much easier to handle.

We are looking for a home where Victor will be given the time and space to decompress. His ideal family will be patient, understanding, and willing to help him adjust to his new surroundings. It’s crucial to give him those first few weeks to settle in and feel secure. Based on his behavior, we suspect Victor may have experienced abuse in the past, which explains why he’s initially hand-shy. However, with love and care, he’s already shown incredible progress.

Once Victor starts to feel safe, his true personality shines. He’s a sweet, loving, and playful pup who enjoys being touched, bathed, hugged, and kissed. A wonderful bonus? Victor has an instant connection with children! While he was hesitant with his adult foster at first, he immediately bonded with her daughter, showing his natural affection for kids.

If you’re ready to offer Victor the loving home he deserves, please fill out the Adoption Inquiry form located at the top of our Rescue page. Let’s give Victor the happy ending he’s been waiting for. 🥳

BONDED SENIOR PAIR ALERT 💫

Meet Pops and Carmella, a heartwarming father-daughter duo who have just joined our rescue family. At 10 and 9 years old, respectively, these senior Pomchis were surrendered by their previous owners, who were unable to dedicate the time and care they deserved. Having spent their entire lives together, these two are deeply bonded, and we are committed to keeping them together—no exceptions. 

Pops and Carmella are tiny but mighty! Pops weighs in at just 4 lbs, while Carmella is a petite 7 lbs. Their connection is truly special—Carmella always looks to Pops for guidance and only ventures where he leads, trusting him completely. They are both in good health, full of life, and ready to bring endless love to their forever home. We are seeking adopters who can commit to giving them a stable, loving environment for the rest of their lives, until they cross the rainbow bridge 🌈. 

If you feel ready to welcome this inseparable pair into your heart and home, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form. We will be very selective to ensure the perfect match for these two sweet souls.
