My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 

 

 



 Meet the Oober adorable Pigeon Bird!

Pigeon is a 3 year old 12 lb PugCHi mix that came to us from @mManteca AniManteca Animal Services
 
 
This is what her foster family has to say about her-
 
' While fearful at first, this little gal will soon become curious, confident, sweet and loving. She is a high energy girl and would match well with an active person.
 
Pigeon is most eager to please and would benefit from training classes to harness her
enthusiasm and energy. She will follow you everywhere, and shows potential as a velcro dog, but at this stage is always on the move, sniffing, inspecting, patrolling and napping on yours houlder. Once Pigeon is confident about her environment, she will nap quietly next to you or on your shoulder if possible.
 
 
 
We don’t recommend a house with cats, as she chases them, but she does well with other dogs. She hasn’t been tested with children yet, so we don’t know how she is.
 
Pigeon is afraid of loud noises, but with time seems to become more adjusted.
 
She is not completely housebroken yet, and knows how to use pee pads. She is great on leash, doesn’t pull, and with some training, will become even better. When she sees the leash she bounces up and down with joy!
 
Pigeon also enjoys rides in the car but will need to be harnessed in as she likes to explore her environment. She also enjoys going to work with her foster mom and getting attention and napping in the big office chair with her dog buddy.
 
Some of her favorite pastimes are furniture parkour, rolling around on her back, and invading the space of her people. She doesn’t seem terribly food motivated at this point, it could be because she is still getting settled, after her stressful time in the shelter. Getting her to take pills has proven to be a bit of a challenge, one that has been solved by wrapping them in cat food or chicken, or some other high-value food.'

Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5

Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes. 

Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet. 

Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service.  

We thank Well Pet Vet Clinic for providing most of our veterinary services and give a special thanks to volunteer photographers Tanya, Barbara, Kristy, Christine, Teressa and Natalie.  



We are on all social media at @umbrellaofhope and we invite you to follow us and share which helps more people see and adopt our pets.

More about this rescue

Umbrella of Hope exists to rescue, rehibilitate, and rehome animals from shelter situations with a focus on East Contra Costa County, California. Our goal is to reduce the euthanasia of adoptable animals through increased adoptions of those animals already born. Help increase public safety by reducing the number of strays and feral animals through population control who might carry disease or pose other dangers to the community. Provide resources to pet owners to enable them to be responsible forever guardians of their companion animals. To increase public awareness of homeless pets, encourage spay and neuter of companion animals, and promote adoption for the acquisition of family pets.
