East Bakersfield targeted by local animal coalition

  • If you live in East Bakersfield, you may have your door knocked on by a new animal rescue coalition.
  • In this video, 23ABC’s Ava Kershner goes to the neighborhood targeted and finds out what to expect.

“South of Flower, Mount Vernon, to Beale, and even further to Altavista and to Bernard,” describes Dawn Romero, Chairman of Kern S.A.F.E.

The 93305 zip code in Bakersfield is the first area in the city that a brand new animal rescue coalition is targeting for their outreach.

And if you live there, here is what they might say to you.

First of all, do you have any animals?” said Romero.

Followed by:

“Hey, we have resources for you available for you to take better care of your animal. We can provide spay and neuter. We can provide vaccinations to keep them healthy,” said Nick Cullen, Director of Kern County Animal Services.

Kern S.A.F.E. is a coalition made of many local rescue groups, as well as the city and county shelters.

By combining resources from non profits all over Kern county, the grassroots door knocking and canvassing will grow beyond Bakersfield.
