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.

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 and has shown me how wonderful life can be. I’m now 4 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.
