Story

Clyde’s survival is nothing short of a miracle. When rescued alongside Bonnie from the train tracks in San Bernardino, he was on the brink of death. For five days he fought for his life, but with veterinary care, a slow feeding plan, and endless love, Clyde pulled through and proved he’s a true fighter. Now healthy and thriving, Clyde has the sweetest soul. He’s cuddly, playful, and loves to be around people. Clyde is dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and kid-friendly—he’d fit right into just about any home. This brave boy has overcome so much and is ready to finally enjoy the safe, loving life he’s always deserved

Australian Cattle Dog Australian Shepherd

Male, 9 mos

Riverside, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

RTIC was apart of a litter of 5 newborns that were found in a field next to their deceased mother. A group of homeless individuals found them and fed them goats milk once a day in hopes and attempts to keep them alive until help could be found. Thankfully their efforts paid off! We were alerted to them on day 4, and went out into the field at night with flashlights looking for the tire they were born in and thankfully we found them! All were alive, kicking and starving! We immediately fed them and brought them into loving foster homes to get the TLC they deserved since they lost their mama so young. RTIC is an adorable Cattle dog mix who we believe will be a large dog estimated got be between 50-75 pounds. He is a very smart puppy, has always been way advanced for his age. ** The adoption fee is a tax-deductible contribution to our 501c3 rescue. This fee covers vaccines, deworming, microchipping, and spaying/neutering. Meet and greets will only be arranged after we receive a completed and signed application. Please note that we do not follow a first-come, first-serve policy. Instead, we thoroughly evaluate each application to ensure the best possible fit for the pet, considering breed characteristics and the lifestyle of the potential adopter.

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats,

Story

Scarlett is apart of a litter of 11 puppies from a mama dog we helped, so we have had these puppies since birth. We know the mother is a gorgeous 80 pound large breed Greyhound/ Shepherd mix. We do not know who the daddy is, but we do believe the daddy to be a Bullmastiff breed, based off of our own breed experience and the best guess of our veterinarian. Scarlett is a sweet girl who looks just like her mamas mini me! She loves to be near other pets and to be cuddling humans. She will make a great loving companion to any person or family. She is a quick learner and picks up routine well. She is not fully potty trained yet, but she is pad trained. She is eager to please. If interested in meeting Scarlett, please complete the adoption application and once reviewed and approved, someone from the OMAT team will reach out to schedule a one on one meet and greet.

Tengu

Great Pyrenees German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tengu is a sweet, goofy XL puppy. He is in foster with other dogs but is dog-selective and has an “alpha” personality. He prefers to be where his humans are - chilling out watching tv, helping you cook, following you to the bathroom, playing fetch in the backyard - and would love a home with hiking, camping, and family adventures. He loves following you around like a shadow, but can also be overprotective of his humans, typical of guardian breeds. He can be reactive on leash around strangers, so an experienced handler ready to train is a must.
