My personality

My story

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

Meet Fred — our sweet, goofy, 12-month-old "pocket hippo" with a heart of gold and a tail that never stops wagging!

Fred is ALL teenager - full of love, energy, and enthusiasm for life. He's incredibly dog-friendly, shares toys, and even brings them to other dogs to play. He's everyone's best friend, and he loves people so much that he's still learning not to greet everyone like a bouncing pogo stick.

Great with other dogs
Neutered & up to date on vaccines
Walks, training, snuggles? Yes, please!
Food motivated & eager to learn
Crate and x-pen trained

Fred is doing wonderfully with his obedience training, but like all young pups, he needs structure, play, and patient guidance. He isn't quite ready to be left alone all day, and he will get into mischief if left to his own devices for too long (classic teenager move ).

He's a mix of cuddle bug + wiggle worm, always up for a snuggle and a party.

Fred's story began tragically - he was found tied to a fence, abandoned and dying on the streets of Los Angeles. Thankfully, the amazing@standupforpitsfoundation stepped in and saved him. Now, he's thriving and just needs his person (or people!) to give him the love, structure, and forever home he deserves.

If you have time, love, and patience to give to a very special young dog, please consider opening your heart and home to Fred. He's ready to give back every ounce of love you give him - and then some.

Our adoption fee is $350 ($400 for dogs 12 months and under) and includes a spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, deworming, microchip and collar. We provide owner support for the lifetime of the animal.

More about this rescue

OCPBR is a passionate group of people whose goal it is to protect and take care of Pit Bulls through education, advocacy, rescue and community outreach. OCPBR seeks to improve the perception of Pit Bull type dogs, promote good ownership through encouraging the treatment of dogs as family members, help keep dogs out of the shelter and in homes, and create more fulfilling relationships between Pit Bulls and their families.

In our rescue work, OCPBR rescues Pit Bull type dogs from shelters, abuse, abandonment and other unfortunate situations. Each dog is then placed in a loving foster home where he or she will receive training and be treated as a family member. We are 100% committed to each of our dogs for the long term. Our rescue work doesn't stop when the dog is adopted. We are available as a lifetime resource for adopters and have stepped in to help with medical care, training needs or other things throughout the life of the dog adopted from us.

Through our community outreach program, Home Is Where The Pit Is, we work with community members to keep their beloved canine family members happy, healthy, and in their loving homes by helping with vet bills, supplies, and other needs. We also help out the community through our P.I.T. 101 low-cost training classes for Pit Bull type dogs in the Orange County, CA area.
