Story
Hi everyone! I’m Slater, but my OCPBR family calls me Nugget. I’m 5 years old and have been the luckiest pup with my foster homes. I have lots of foster siblings in my current home and get to go camping and on adventures often. I’m super energetic (but I also know how to chill) and need someone who’s going to play with me, so a home with a senior dog would not be the best fit for me. I am a silly, fun, young dog, but I do not like being hugged or restrained, so a home with children under the age of 10 isn’t a good fit for me. I do however LOVE to cuddle and I think I’m a lapdog. I really like all dogs, but small dogs are my favorite. I am crate trained and house trained, walk great on a leash, know some basic obedience commands and am working on learning more. I do have a unique health issue… my second kidney never grew. So, because of this, I have to eat a special low protein diet and my treats are vegetarian lol. Don’t worry, OCPBR has already paid for all of the tests, so you will just need to feed me appropriate food and treats to ensure I stay healthy. At OCPBR, we do a foster to adopt with all of our special dogs going to their new families. If you have another dog(s), the dog(s) must be completely friendly with puppies, other dogs and people. The foster must be willing and able to participate in our foster care program to include ongoing obedience training and socialization. I’m fully vetted, neutered, current on all vaccines, microchipped and looking for my perfect forever family.

Story
Hi all! I’m Brody! I’m 4 years old and have been told I’m a total meat head who isn’t always aware just how big he is. I hear everyone calling me a handsome beefcake, which I can only imagine is a good thing. ☺️So far, everyone thinks I’m a mastiff/pit bull mix, hence the beefcake comments, but we’re not 100% sure as we haven’t done a DNA test. Regardless of my breed, I know I’m 100% handsome, because my foster mama tells me every day! 😍 I’ve got a big ole head, and a giant heart to match. 🫶 Not only am I easy on the eyes, but I’m also fully trained! I’ve got my basic obedience down, walk great on a leash and am crate trained. I love ALL dogs, even the littles, and my motto is #BALLISLIFE! I could play ball EVERY DAY and would love a home with a family who will play with me! But not to worry! I’m also perfectly content with some R&R at home and can be a lazy potato. My ideal home would be with a family who is patient and kind. I’ve had a lot happen to me in my 4 years on this earth, so I can be nervous meeting new people. However, I can also warm up really fast, and once you’re in, you’re in forever and we’ll be the bestest friends forever! 👯🤗 I’d also do best in a home with strong leaders, because let’s face it… I don’t like having to make choices. I mean, can ya blame me? Making decisions is a tiring thing, and why spend time doing that when I could be having fun! I’m fully vetted, neutered, current on all vaccines, microchipped and looking for my forever family.

Story
Hi! My name is Calvin! I’m a 4-year old pit bull/Aussie cattle dog mix. Yes, you read that right. DNA confirmed it! I’m the perfect balance between the two breeds because I cuddle like a Pittie and have the spunk of a cattle dog. I love to play tug with my foster siblings and/or foster parents. My favorite is flirt pole, cause I love to chase! You can find me sunbathing on top of my foster mom’s inflatable hot tub when I feel like catching some rays. I also really enjoy exploring new places, and have wonderful manners when I do. After some training, I now walk really well on a leash. The cattle dog in me makes me want to herd cars, but I know some really cool commands that give me better manners when out on walks and I see the dreaded cars. I can be a little mouthy when I play, but hey, that’s the cattle dog for ya. I’m crate trained, house trained, know basic obedience commands and am just a happy fun dude looking for my forever home. A home with other dogs (preferably female and more laid back dogs) would be fun, but I’m also happy to roll solo. However, I’m not a fan of our feline friends. I’m fully vetted, neutered, current on all vaccines, microchipped and looking for my perfect forever family.

Story
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.
