The Vacation Litter
Meet the Vacay litter! We always give our rescue litters a theme name and this crew wants to take you to a summer vacation spot! The vacay litter was born on June 19th to a chihuahua mix mom who weighs 15lbs and was found on the streets in Bakersfield.
Ibiza, Maui, and Tulum are female (Ibiza is the only one out of the girls that is still 100% available) While Santorini, Fiji, Hampton, Cabo (the only boy spoken for) Turks, and Caicos are males. We have no clue who the puppy daddy was, so your guess is as good as ours. We assume they’ll be anywhere from 12-20lbs full grown (but, that’s a guess) They are all healthy, happy, social and love all dogs and are comfortable with cats.
Nyla
Meet Nyla! This 5 year old beauty is the mom of the #maedayvacaylitter She was found VERY pregnant running on the streets of Bakersfield. She was a great mom and tolerated her NINE puppies until she was done nursing them and wanted her own mom time. She is in her own foster home now and is doing great. She gets along with other dogs, loves to cuddle and was nervous on walks at first, but getting better every day. She will tell you when she needs to go out, but since we don’t know her past- we are still learning her communication style. She is 15lbs and is such a love!
Boombox
Boombox!!
This 2 year old, 5lb yorkie mix is a playful fellow who loves other dogs and loves to play. He prefers to be on your lap or in your bed, but is happy playing with his toys. He would do great in any living situation where he would be spoiled!

Meet Gwen!
This spayed and healthy 2 year old ish girl weighs in at 12lbs and is very social and loving. She is always wagging her tail and wants to say hi to everyone she meets. She is great with dogs and has been wonderful on her daily pack walks!
Smooch
Smooch is a very sweet wide eyed and playful splotchy black and white female kitten. She has a big appetite and a mighty personality. She loves playing with toys and her foster siblings. She is friendly to humans too but doesn’t love being held for too long by strangers. But once she gets to know you, she’ll climb up to you for cuddles. She is litter box trained and ready to find her forever home with hopefully another cat she can play with!
Tulip
Tulip is a lovely 3 year old petite 40lb gal who has a sad story. She found herself at North Central Shelter about two years ago and was adopted directly from the shelter from a family who had adopted a Maeday dog in the past. In October of 2025, this past adopter reached out to us asking for help after she was diagnosed with cancer. She sadly lost her battle with cancer in July 2026 and at that time Tulip became a permanent Maeday dog. Tulip is social, playful with other dogs, good with all people and kids and would be good for any living situation. #maedaytulip
Muumuu
Muumuu is the sweetest kitten. She was a solo kitten at a rural shelter and we couldn’t say no. She is great with other cats, comfortable with dogs and is great with her litter box. She is healthy, cuddly and will make a great companion in any (indoor only) living situation.

Goalie
Meet Goalie! This little goal keeper, loves to play, is up for anything and is a waggy happy boy. He is part of the three shitzu’s that we save from north central shelter as part of clear the shelters for the 4th of July. He saw the vet for an eye ulcer, that will soon heal, but he may have some cloudiness in one eye for the rest of his life. Otherwise, he is healthy and we can’t wait to see him once his fur has grown in. He is about 5 years old and 14lbs.
Ike
Meet the sweetest senior boy, Ike! We were told that he was an owner surrender at the shelter and the past owners said that he is 12 years old. He seems like he is hypoallergenic and he was shaved down at the shelter, but he naturally has very long, shaggy fur. He loves other dogs, is very sweet and gentle, and just wants a place to rest his head and old bones.
