Muffin & Harriet came to OFOSA together, as strays from the Central California area. Since they were strays, nothing is known about their background. Muffin is about 15 pounds. They are not technically a bonded pair (not raised together or related ), but they are VERY good friends. I think they would love to be placed together, but it is not a requirement. Both of them are starved for affection and food. Although they are quite polite when eating around other dogs, which is unusual, it's best not to leave your food where they can reach it. Their tails are wagging constantly. They are quite friendly with other dogs, especially new ones. I am a pet sitter, so someone new shows up almost every day. They both LOVE to chew up anything they can find, so dog-proofing your place is essential. I cannot emphasize this enough. I would personally crate them if you were going to be gone for an extended period. Muffin is crate-trained, and will go into one willingly. She is potty-trained; no accidents in the house at all. She is not a big barker. She should be fine in an apartment. She does need some serious training in walking on a leash, however. Muffin gets too excited to calm down enough to walk. A coupler could be useful for someone adopting them both. Both of these girls are sweet and would love to find their forever home, together or separately. To meet them please go to OFOSA.ORG and fill out the application and the foster mom will be in-touch.

Meet the animals and an Adoption Counselor
Once you’ve found an animal (or two!) that you’re interested in adopting, please email us at info@ofosa.org to set up a meet and greet with the foster family who is taking care of that pet. All pets have received an examination and assessed for any health or possible behavioral concerns to the extent possible while in our care.
REQUIREMENTS: All members of the family along with any other dogs must be present to meet the new animal to make sure that everyone is compatible! Dogs must not live as outdoor pets and all animals are REQUIRED to be spayed or neutered. Certain breeds will not be adopted to apartment dwellers. We also reserve the right to refuse to place an animal in a home without a fenced in back yard. We adopt our animals based on a first come, first qualified basis. Our main concern is to match our animals with the most ideal home, the decision is based on many different factors.
Complete the adoption
If you so choose, you are able to take the pet home on the same day that you first meet them. When you’ve found a great match, it’s time to complete the adoption process! You’re welcome to ask our volunteers or fosters questions about training and for tips on helping your new pet adjust to your home.
Placing Pets on Hold: We do not place animals on hold. We adopt out on a First Come, First Qualified basis.
Medical or Behavior Consults: If the pet you’re interested in has any medical conditions, we will arrange pre-adoption consultations with our medical / clinic staff so you know what to expect.
