What we’RE Up to
Saving Lives
& Making Matches
Rescuing Pets
Unlike most of California, Kern County has low rates of spay/neutering leading to high rates of abandoned animals. We have established connections to adoptees and other rescue groups outside of Kern County, allowing us to transfer or place as many as 1500 animals per month. Currently over 2500 dogs and cats are euthanized every month in one Kern County shelter alone, so there is still much more work to be done.
Furever homes
Pet Matchmaker Rescue works with Kern County Animal Control and identifies lone animals left to stray in the community. We provide housing, a stable and supportive environment, veterinary care, spay and neutering, and adoption for as many animals as possible in a humane, safe and sanitary manner. We also rescue adoptable animals from abuse & neglect situations and rehabilitate them until they find their furever home.
What Drives Us
Our Mission
Pet MatchMaker Rescue aims to reduce the number of euthanized animals from Animal Control facilities. We also aim to reduce the number of stray animals in Kern county and hope to build a knowledgeable and understanding community. We aim to provide high quality care including, food, shelter, and medical services for these animals until they are adopted to a forever family.
Get Involved
At any given time, we house anywhere from 25-60 animals at our rescue facility. So we are always in need of volunteers to help us care for them and the property.

Adoption Tips
Adopting VS BUying
It’s estimated that each year more than one million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States. This is simply because too many pets come into shelters and too few people consider adoption when looking for a pet.
The number of euthanized animals could be reduced dramatically if more people adopted pets. When you adopt, you save a loving animal by making them part of your family. You also open up shelter space for another animal who might desperately need it.
Find the Perfect Pet
Bringing a new pet into your home will mean changes for you and your household. A little preparation can go a long way to easing this transition and making a great match. Be sure you have the resources to offer a truly loving, safe, and healthy environment.
Though each pet is unique, doing some research on specific breeds can give you a general sense of characteristics. We have a good sense of the animals and their personalities. We will work with you to ensure our animals find the furever home that’s right for them.
