A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The Bakersfield listings all fall in Kern County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.
If nothing here suits, Tehachapi, Shafter and Frazier Park all have listings within about 28 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Every listing here carries a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
