Story
      Meet Jost Van Dyke (but you can call him Van!) Breed: Terrier Mix (Likely Dachshund/Rat Terrier / Jack Russell blend)   Age: 10 years young Weight: 18 lbs   Hello there! My full name is Jost Van Dyke, but my foster family just calls me Van. I am a handsome, 10-year-old terrier mix weighing in at a perfectly portable 18 pounds.   If you look into my very sweet eyes, you'll instantly see what a gentle soul I am. I am a total social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with absolutely everyone I meet—humans and other dogs included!   I pride myself on being a very good boy. I already know exactly how to use a doggy door, and I am mostly potty-trained (though I might have a rare accident indoors while I'm adjusting to a new home's routine). I walk wonderfully on a leash and make a great strolling companion. I do get a little nervous during car rides, but with some gentle reassurance from you, I can brave the road. At my core, I am a professional lap dog and a world-class snuggler. My absolute favorite time of day is bedtime, because I love nothing more than burrowing right under the covers to sleep next to my favorite humans all night long.   I should also mention that I am very food-motivated! This is great for training, but because I love my meals so much, I can sometimes challenge other animals for food. For that reason, I sometimes need to be fed separately from any other furry siblings in the home so everyone stays happy and relaxed.   If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and snuggly gentleman to keep your lap warm, I’m your guy. I have a whole lot of love left to give—could it be to you?   www.beourpet.org/adoptions.php #shelterpetlove #adoptdontshop #Vanisyourman       GENERAL INFO:   Housebroken?: Yes, we think so Crate Trained?: Yes Leash Trained?: Yes Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: No Good with cats?: Unknown 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.

Story
I am giving away my Canis Panther, Zuko. I am too old and no longer able to properly care for him. He was born on April 15, 2021. We purchased him from Midtown Bandogges (Rick & Michelle Swengel) in Madera, California on June 19, 2021. He is very energetic and sweet. We are looking to rehome him to a loving and outgoing family that is able to care for a large dog.

Story
      Meet the LOVABLE Colgate Toothpaste.   Colgate is a 10 year old Chihuahua Mix. He's a VERY good boy who likes to spend most of his time near you. When he's not near you, he's on your lap or making contact with you in some other way. He really is a velcro dog. He likes lounging on the couch with you to binge on Netflix. He will sleep in a kennel after a bit of fussing but definitely appreciates sharing the big bed at night. He takes treats gently from your hands.   He walks very well on a leash, either by himself or with the other dog in the house. He is potty trained but will require training in any new home as to where you expect him to go at your house. He gets along with other dogs and people. He barks in new situations, but calms once he's assured all is well.   He's a sweet and easy boy who would do well in most homes. You can read more about him on our website www.beourpet.org.   If you aren't in a position to adopt Colgate, please share this post in hopes we find someone who is. #startastoryadopt    GENERAL INFO:   Housebroken?: Yes, we think so Crate Trained?: Yes Leash Trained?: Yes Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: No Good with cats?: Untested 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.

Story
      Please meet our newest addition to our Umbrella of Hope Rescue: Mooncalf FANTASTIC BEASTS!! We are asking for your help for this sweet 12 yr old senior girl who has already endured more than her fair share of medical challenges.   When she arrived in our care, her diabetes was completely uncontrolled. Her blood glucose levels were so high they were literally off the charts and unable to register. To give her the chance at a comfortable, healthy life, she will require insulin injections under the skin twice a day for the rest of her life.   But diabetes is only one of her many medical concerns. She also suffers from KCS (dry eye) in both eyes, a painful condition that requires specialized eye medication twice daily to keep her comfortable and preserve her vision. Her skin is in horrible condition as you can see in the photos. On top of that, she has a mammary mass and several other age-related medical issues that we are continuing to evaluate and treat.   Despite everything she has been through, she remains sweet, gentle, and trusting. She deserves the chance to spend her golden years surrounded by love, comfort, and proper medical care. The costs of her ongoing treatment, medications, diagnostics, and veterinary care add up quickly, but we are committed to giving her the quality of life she deserves. We simply can't do it without your support.   Please consider making a donation today. Every dollar helps provide insulin, prescription eye drops, veterinary visits, and the specialized care this precious senior girl needs. Ways to donate:   Send a check/money order to UOH 4040 Railroad Ave, Pittsuburg CA 94565 Venmo @Umbrellaof-HopeResuce Paypay Beourpet@gmail.com Zelle Beourpet@gmail.com Together, we can help her enjoy the healthy, happy life she has always deserved.

🌹 Meet Maya Rose! 🌹Maya Rose is an adorable young Dachshund mix with a playful, happy personality and so much love to give. She's a smart little girl who is learning the rules, but she's also sensitive and will need a patient family to help build her confidence.Maya is 2 ish yrs old and about 12lbs. She is doing well with crate and potty training but is still learning, so expect the normal adjustment period that comes with any new dog. She absolutely adores other dogs, cats, and gentle kids. Because she gets anxious when left alone, she'd do best in a home with another friendly dog and isn't the best fit for apartment living.Maya has a sister, Cookie Clover, who is also looking for her forever home. They haven't always lived together and do not have to be adopted together, but they love to play and would surely enjoy future playdates. We'd also be happy to offer a discounted adoption fee for a family interested in keeping them together.If you're looking for a fun, affectionate little companion who will blossom with love, patience, and reassurance, Maya Rose is ready to steal your heart. 💕Please submit a detailed adoption application at www.K9ppr.org. Detailed applications are required to help ensure the best match for both our dogs and adopters.July 22, 2026, 4:31 am

Story
🍀 Meet Cookie Clover! 🍀Cookie Clover is an adorable 2-year-old Dachshund mix weighing about 13 lbs. She is one of the sweetest, most loving little dogs you'll ever meet. 💕Cookie is a sensitive girl who can be a little anxious at first, so she'll need a little time, patience, and a few treats to settle in. Once she trusts you, she's an absolute cuddle bug who just wants to be close to her person.She would thrive in a home with another friendly dog and would be happiest with someone who works from home or isn't gone for long hours. She's great with cats, loves to play, and has a huge heart. She's learning that pottying outside is the way to go after previously using potty pads, so expect a normal adjustment period. Crate training is also a work in progress.Cookie and her sister haven't always lived together and do not have to be adopted together, but we'd love to see them stay connected with playdates—and we'd be happy to offer a discounted adoption fee if someone wanted to keep them together.If you're looking for a loyal little shadow with so much love to give, Cookie Clover might be your perfect match. 💗Please submit a detailed adoption application at www.K9ppr.org. Detailed applications are required to help ensure the best match for both our dogs and adopters.July 22, 2026, 4:31 am
