Giving Back
Show off your pet in Tails of Bakersfield.
Last year's Tails of Bakersfield was such a success. We raised over $16,000 for local animal charities. (Thank you to everyone that participated last year. Now, let's raise more money.)
Donation fee is $10. (Several of you, gave more than the $10 and we still have that option for you too.) Proceeds from the $10 will go to the charity of your choice, or can be split between the four.
* Kern Animal Control * SPCA * Alpha Canine Sanctuary * The Cat People
We will select Tails of Bakersfield photos at random to be published in The Bakersfield Californian, as space permits. All photos will be published online until August 31st.
This year we will have an additional contest called Pet Idol. An additional fee of $5 ($15 total), gets your pet entered into the contest.
Pet Idol will take place after all the Tails of Bakersfield photos have been submitted. The public will be given the opportunity to vote for their favorite pet. The top 12 pets with the most votes win Pet Idol. They will be featured in a calendar.
To enter your pet in Pet Idol, or for more information about Tails of Bakersfield, visit the Tails of Bakersfield.
Being good stewards to our community is one of our core values at The Bakersfield Californian. In that spirit, this page is dedicated to local volunteers and non-profits making a difference in our community.
