Story
Hi I’m Kalani and I’m the cutest little peanut around! I am about 6 months old, I need to have another dog in the home that is active, playful, well mannered, and will be a great mentor dog for me. I am timid when meeting new doggy friends but once we are friends its playtime game on! I love to snuggle with my foster family humans or on the couch, a dog bed or basically anywhere cuddly...I am a snuggle love. I also love to sunbathe or explore in the yard or park or on walks, my nickname is Dora lol. I am house trained, crate trained, and have started my puppy obedience training. I am fully vetted and completed all of my puppy vaccines. OCPBR only does foster to adopt with young puppies, rather than a straight out adoption because we pay for the foster to adopt to attend group training classes, and we don’t spay and neuter prior to a minimum of 6 months of age for developmental purposes. With a foster to adopt it means you come on board to foster the dog with the intention of adopting once training and spay/neuter is completed. Interested in fostering to adopt Kalani, email us at foster@ocpbr.org. *Please note we do not adopt puppies to households with current senior animals.

Story
Hi everyone! I’m Slater, but my OCPBR family calls me Nugget. I was being given away when I was barely two weeks old, and just a wee nugget. (see what I did there?) Lucky for me, OCPBR scooped me up. I am now 1.5 years old and have been the luckiest pup with my foster homes, my current one has 3 other dogs in it and I get to go to structured daycare each week, outings and camping trips where I love meeting new human and canine friends! 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 5 isn’t a good fit for me. I do however LOVE to cuddle, I think I am a lapdog. I really like all dogs, but small dogs are my favorite. I am crate trained and house trained. I walk great on a leash, I know some basic obedience commands and are 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 please. 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. Please no senior dogs.. Plus it’s unfair to senior dogs to have to endure normal young dog energy. They must also be current on vaccines. The foster must be willing and able to participate in our foster care program to include, ongoing obedience training and socialization.

Story
Hi everyone! My name is Tara, but Im also adorned as Grandma Tara. I would enjoy a quiet calm home and need to be the only animal. I am terrified of other dogs and cats are a no go. I am looking for a home where life is simple. I do not not need walks, because I just do not enjoy them. She likes to explore the back yard to look for critters and she’ll play a game of fetch from time to time. Tara had a family her whole life. Her parents died earlier last year, and they were her entire world. Being with an older couple, she had limited exposure to the world, but knows nothing but love. I am also crate trained, fully vetted, neutered, microchipped and looking for my perfect forever foster family.I have seizures so because of this reason, I cannot be in a home with children. My friends at OCPBR are looking for a forever foster family for me, this means you provide the love, care and housing and they will pay for everything I need. For more info please email them at foster@ocpbr.org

Story
Adorable Puppy seeking forever family for snuggles! Hi my name is Calvin, I am about 5 months old and the cutest little man around town! My foster family says I am pretty confident and roll with things easily. I cruise for car rides, they don’t even know I am there sometimes I am pretty quiet. I am pretty chill for baths, I mean who wouldn’t enjoy a warm bath! I love to play, I am your typical happy puppy and I even entertain myself sometimes by talking and chasing my own tail lol. I am crate trained, potty trained, current on vaccines, I recently got a clean bill of health from the vet. I also love to learn, I am learning my leash manners, I know sit, down, and go to bed but it’s all pretty new to me still, so I would love someone to continue helping me learn! We’ve been told he’s a bit cranky when it comes time to pick him up put his sweater on and take off; but nothing some positive reinforcements with treats isn’t fixing. When he plays with his friends he has a vocal play style and tells everyone exactly what he’s thinking. He is growing like a weed and is the cutest little chunkster. Calvin is really confident with other dogs. He even does well with his feline foster siblings. Overall, our sweet boy is a pretty mellow pup...but still a puppy. We do not know what mixed breed Calvin is, the shelter had him listed as a Pit Bull Mix, we see some Australian Shepherd and hound and honestly have no clue. If you’re interested in Calvin, please go to https://www.ocpbr.org/adoptionapplication or email us at adopt@ocpbr.org

Story
Such a love Bug! Bug loves to scavenge for food or anything that may be deemed as such, so NO YOUNG CHILDREN should be in the household. Bug seems to like one primary adult bond. He loves affection and playing. He loves dog parks and running as a pack. He is crate trained and does well with a nice heavy-chewer treat. Bug is currently on medication for his obsessive food behavior therapy. You may choose to continue them or wean him off with your Vet.
