Kern Country Animal Control in Bakersfield, California is shutting down

Kern Country Animal Control in Bakersfield, California is shutting down on September 30th, 2013. The Shelter claims that the over 700 animals are NOT being put down.

DOGS ARE $15 AND CATS ARE $5. ALL animals are fixed and have shots.

ADDRESS: 201 S Mt Vernon Ave.

CITY: Bakersfield, California 93307

NUMBER: (661) 321-3000

PLEASE SPREAD THIS AROUND AND SAVE A LIFE (If you live near this area). I would hate to know all these animals died and I did nothing to help.
