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! My name is Calvin! I’m a two-year old pit bull/Aussie cattle dog mix. Yes, you read that right. DNA confirmed it! I’m the perfect balance between the two breeds because I cuddle like a Pittie and have the spunk of a cattle dog. I love to play tug with my foster siblings and/or foster parents. You can find me sunbathing on top of my foster moms inflatable hot tub when I feel like catching some rays. I also really enjoy exploring new places, and have wonderful manners when I do.
After some training, I now walk really well on a leash. The cattle dog in me makes me want to herd cars, but I know some really cool commands that give me better manners when out on walks and I see the dreaded cars. I can be a little mouthy when I play, but hey, that’s the cattle dog for ya.
I’m crate trained, house trained, know basic obedience commands and am just a happy fun dude looking for my forever home. A home with other dogs would be fun, but I’m also happy to roll solo. However, I’m not a fan of our feline friends.
I’m fully vetted, neutered, current on all vaccines, microchipped and looking for my perfect forever family.

"BALL IS LIFE!" Hello everyone! I’m Brody! I’m 3 year old and have been told I’m a total meat head. I also don’t fully understand how big I am, but I’m learning. Everyone thinks I’m a mastiff/pit bull mix because I’m such a beefcake, but we haven’t done the DNA yet. I’ve got a big ole head with a giant heart to match.
I like to go on walks and play in the water, but I’m also happy to enjoy a lazy afternoon. I currently live with 2 foster siblings who I love to play with. We share toys and have so much fun together. I haven’t been tested with small dogs yet, so not sure how I’ll play with them. There is a feline friend in my current home, but he lives separately. I haven’t yet had a chance to meet him, but I’ve seen him through the gate, and I don’t mind that much. I can be unsure when meeting new people, but we are working on building my confidence with some trainers.
I’d love a home that is patient and experienced. I need someone who is willing to work with me to help build my confidence and work on my socialization skills. I’m crate trained, know all of my basic obedience commands, walk nicely on a leash, am house trained and would love a mentor dog in my new home that can show me the ropes and will cuddle with me.
I’m fully vetted, neutered, current on all vaccines, microchipped and looking for my forever family.

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.

"Adoption Pending"
Hello world, I'm Finn! I’m two years old, but as they say, age ain’t nothin’ but a number… and the ladies love me! (Can you blame them?) I love long walks around the neighborhood and peanut butter by candlelight. I’m then happy to cuddle up with you for relaxing night of movies and cuddles.
I’m the perfect balance of outdoor enthusiast and couch potato… but if I’m being honest, I think I prefer my couch potato side. I love splashing in puddles, chasing birds (though I’ve never caught one), and doing zoomies on the regular to keep my model like physique. Gotta stay fit while also living that couch potato life.
In my free time I like to gnaw on my chewie’s, eat treats, bird watch and play fetch with my foster mom. Though, fetch to me is more like foster mom throwing something and then I run around until she catches me. I love other dogs and would be happy to play with my friends all day, though I’ve never lived with another dog. If my new home has a doggo brother or sister for me, I’ll need to be reminded to stay calm and work on some manners while I integrate into my new life.
