Story
          Hi everyone, I’m Bamboo Plant! I’m a 13-year-old neutered Poodle-ish  something mix. I’m free of parasites, fully vaccinated and microchipped. I wasn’t taken care of very well before I came to Umbrella of Hope. All my teeth had to be extracted but I’m feeling so much better now. My foster mom says I’m a lovable Poo  with a big heart, a sweet soul, and just a tiny jealous streak (especially when other dogs try to steal my spotlight ).  Fun facts about me:    I’m great on a leash — walkies are my thing!  I’m the best co-pilot for car rides. Windows down = ears flying.  Bedtime? I’m a pro snuggler. Tuck me in and I’ll snooze like a champ.  Treats? Say the word and I’m instantly motivated.     I’m well-mannered, mostly potty trained, and I’ve spent my life perfecting the role of “good boy.” I love cuddles, tasty snacks, and soaking up all the attention (sorry, other dogs). I do have KCS otherwise known as Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca, which means dry eye. This is a lifetime issue and I’ll need drops the rest of my life.  My foster mom applies drops to both eyes twice a day. I’m a good boy as long as the treats keep coming after I sit for them. I also have a heart murmur but no medicine needed at this time. I will have to see the vet regularly to monitor this.  Grooming is getting better on my part. I have to admit I wasn’t cooperating the first time. The noises really scared me. If you adopt me I will need regular grooming appointments every 6-8 weeks to stay as handsome as I am. Oh and more treats!!!  Adopt me and I promise you that you will enjoy more daily adventures, cozy naps, and short walks. All I want in return is plenty of love, a cozy bed and plenty of treats.      GENERAL INFO:   Housebroken?: Yes Crate Trained?: Yes Leash Trained?: Yes Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: Yes Good with cats?: Unknown but does not have teeth... so Good with dogs?: Yes Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: yes 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.  To help our ALL VOLUNTEER team rescue more senior, special needs, medically needy and hospice animals (and a few 'typical' ones along the way, please consider making a tax-deductible (TAX ID 45-4103375) donation online at www.paypal.me/UOH or Venmo @umbrellaof-hoperescue or Zelle beourpet@gmail.com.   You can also buy tees, tanks. sweatshirts, hats and bandannas where all proceeds benefit our animals https://ruff-life-rescue-wear.myshopify.com/collections/umbrella-of-hope We also have an Etsy store where the merchandise is made by volunteers and supporters, changes regularly and 100% of the proceeds benefit our medical fund https://www.etsy.com/shop/Umbrellaofhope Amazon Wish List tinyurl.com/pineapplewish  September 27, 2025, 9:39 pm

Story
Cash is a 6 year old male, 20 lbs, house trained sweet dog. I adopted Cash when he was 4 months from Hop Along Adoption. Due to severe allergies, I need to rehome Cash. He’s friendly with some dogs, I can’t gauge why some and not others. He’ll usually act aggressive, sniff around, and then he wants to play. Cash doesn’t do well with small children. Their movements are too quick and unpredictable. He’s a little skittish for a dog who has never been abused.

Story
Meet Teddy (Goose) - Sweet Yorkie Looking for His Forever Home 💙🐶 Age: ~1-2 years⚖️ Weight: ~8 lbs✂️ Status: Recently neutered, microchipped, and vaccinatedTeddy's StoryTeddy spent the first part of his life living in a cage with a breeder and was badly matted and neglected until his foster mom stepped in to get him out of that situation. He has since been groomed and is now safe in her care as a foster, but he deserves a loving, permanent home of his very own.She promised him that his next home would be his forever home &#194&#151 not temporary, not 'until life gets busy,' but for his entire life.About Teddy (Nicknamed 'Goose')Teddy is very loving and people-oriented. He adores humans &#194&#151 especially adults and older gentle calmer kids &#194&#151 and wants to be near his person as much as possible.&#194&#149 Potty Training: Doing great with potty training, but please always expect a learning curve and patience with any dog in a new environment&#194&#149 😢 Separation Anxiety: Teddy does have separation anxiety. If he cannot see a human, he panics, barks, and jumps trying to get to his person. He will need a home where he isn't left alone for long stretches and where his adopter understands his needs. With time and consistency, he will continue to improve as he feels secure&#194&#149 🍽️ Food: Good eater and not very picky, currently used to wet food (The Farmer's Dog)&#194&#149 ✂️ Grooming: As a Yorkie, Teddy requires regular grooming about every 6 weeks to maintain a healthy coat⸻Ideal Home for TeddyTeddy has already been failed by humans once &#194&#151 that will not happen again if we can help it.We are looking for a home that:&#194&#149 💰 Is financially able and willing to care for him long-term, including regular grooming, routine vet care, and any unexpected needs (small-dog dentals can be costly! And neglected dental care leads to heart disease and more especially in tiny dogs)&#194&#149 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 No young children: Please no kids under 10. Teddy loves people but does best in a calm home&#194&#149 ⏰ Not constantly on the go: No families who are gone all the time for work or kids' activities. Teddy needs time, presence, and understanding&#194&#149 ❤️ Will love him unconditionally, be patient with his past, and work with him on his anxiety and occasional marking, although this should be less now that he has been neutered.&#194&#149 📸 Is willing to send occasional updates so we know he is safe, happy, and that the right decision was made for him⸻Adoption DetailsSerious inquiries only ❤️Teddy is a very special little soul who has been through a lot. He needs someone who will see him as family, not a convenience.If that sounds like you, please submit a detailed adoption application at www.k9ppr.org 💙🐾December 17, 2025, 12:19 am

Story
NAME:Tommen Baratheon aka LioSTATS:Male, Spaniel/Dachshund mix, baby, 5 years, 22 lbs. Special NeedsTEMPERAMENT:Friendly.Shy.Needs seasoned owner to work with issues (see below).Needs to be WITH ANOTHER dogSKILLS:Potty trained.Crate trained.Good with children.Good with dogs.Good with cats.MORE ABOUT ME:Likes belly rubs.Submissive.Needs patient owner willing to work on behavior (see details below).ONE LAST THING:Lio is a very sweet dog. He is great if you are mostly home, but he does not like to be left alone. He is really smart and can figure out treat puzzles quickly. He is a great size to take places.Lio has a lot of anxiety. He will pee when anxious and is currently on some anti anxiety medications. His anxiety mostly comes from separation - whether we are out of the house completely or just have a door shut and he can't get to us. He is afraid of most new people, but won't bite. He may growl a little, but has never even come close to biting. He could use more separation training than we've been able to do so far. When one of us is working from home he is mostly fine, but if we are out of the house all day, that's when he has the most issues (peeing).November 4, 2024, 8:09 pm

NAME:Lady BugSTATS:Female, chi mix, 8 years, 11 lbs.TEMPERAMENT:Shy at first and warms up.Playful, but not overly so.SKILLSPotty trained.Crate trained.Leash trained.Good with dogs.Good with cats.Likes walks, but not great for hiking.MORE ABOUT ME:Likes belly rubs.Couch cuddler.Likes walks.Submissive.ONE LAST THING:Lady Bug is a sweet, happy, little 11 lb girl who would love to be your couch buddy. She loves a walk around the block and will help aerate lawns by enthusiastically back-kicking after potties. Lady Bug is food motivated and smart. While she's a calm, mature gal (est. 7 years old) she happily dances at meal time and wakes up with smiles and gallops to greet each day. She's learned to go in her crate on command and responds well to gentle 'ah ah's. Lady Bug is timid around strangers - she barks and growls -but just needs a few minutes to get to know them and then is all wags. Cold morning temperatures make her shiver, so she would enjoy living somewhere hot where she could sun bathe. Not a super barky little girl; however, she feels it is her duty to let the mailman know he offends her by being in her eyesight. Lady Bug has learned to get along with the big labrador she currently lives with. At the dog park, she interacted with little dogs well and appeared to want to play. She has seen cats, but does not have much interest in them. Lady Bug has not been tested with kids but, because she is so small, gentle children over 10 would be bestLady Bug came to us as a stray and it's evident from her behavior of needing to be close to her person, she would benefit from confidence building. If you're ready for a small, loyal companion to fill your heart with love, this little pup might just be the one for you!September 12, 2025, 1:32 am
