Story
MEET ROMEO! Are you looking for a dog to be your loyal companion and protector? If so, Romeo is your guy! He is a handsome 6-year-old male Black Mouth Cur, possibly mixed with Boxer. (His shelter paperwork says shepherd-boxer mix). Romeo is a gorgeous, handsome dog who loves to walk, hike and be with his person or people. He would be an awesome companion for someone who loves to hike! He's a great guard dog and can be protective, so would do best in a non-congested area where neighbors aren't a concern. Romeo also has a prey drive, so needs a strong owner. He has done well with other dogs, though has been leash reactive in the past. He's incredibly smart, affectionate, and will attach to his person or people. He is easy to groom, is playful, and loves a good belly rub! He will benefit from walks, hikes, and exercise, and people who understand his breed. Romeo weighs 74 lbs. Please email for an application.

Story
Hi! My name is Joey and I am a one year old neutered male Siberian Husky. I had a bit of a rough start in life with a few changes but since being at my foster parent`s house, I have really come out of my shell and am really a happy, affectionate dog. I am crate trained and housetrained. My foster parents have two huskies and a smaller terrier and I love playing with them all day long. I have been going with them to a Doggy Daycare and I think that`s the best! I really like being with another dog, it helps me. I would enjoy being in a home with other dogs. I haven`t met a cat yet but I don`t think I should live in a home with one since I like to chase things! I`d probably do best in a home with kids that are a little older, maybe six and up, since I am still learning my manners and get overexcited and jump on people. I absolutely love everyone I meet and want all the attention all the time. I am not sure what to do with toys yet but my foster brother is slowly teaching me. I have a LOT of energy so apartment life is not for me. I need a home with a solid fence and a yard and a family that wants to do things with me and make me part of their family. To meet me fill out the application on OFOSA.ORG at the bottom of the available dogs page. My adoption fee is $ 320 ($340 as of 4/15/2025) for a fully vetted boy!

Story
HI - I'M BRUCE, a 5-year-old large Pit Bull Terrier with a heart full of love and loyalty. I was originally rescued from a California shelter awhile back, and am still waiting for a foster or forever home. I weigh 80 lbs! I understand I'm a big boy and not for everyone, but I have a lot of love to give and will make a wonderful companion. I am a sweet soul, always eager to please my person or people. I have been good with kids in the past and non-destructive, making me a wonderful addition to families with older children (due to my size). I get along well with some dogs, but am a big boy so need a strong and experienced owner. Born in a shelter and later dumped by his people, I know the value of a loving home. Please email for an application.

Story
HI - I'M FLETCH! I was recently rescued from a scary California shelter in the nick of time. I became urgent because I simply had a cold. Now I'm on the mend, and am starting to decompress a bit. I'm just a lovable, dog-friendly pittie-mix puppy in need of a foster or forever home. I'm still a bit shy and scared but am starting to come out of my shell. I weigh 40-45 lbs currently, but am a growing boy. I have the most beautiful brindle-and-white coat. Can you foster or adopt me?

HI - I'M CHARM! I'm a sweet and playful 1-year-old Boxer mix in need of a foster or forever home! I was rescued from an overcrowded California shelter. I'm a happy girl who loves people and other dogs. I'm very playful, sweet, and full of life! I weigh only about 50 lbs and would make a great dog for an active single person, a couple or a family with older kids. I would do well with another dog in the home. Please email for an application.

Story
MEET RINGO! Ringo is a gorgeous 8-year-old German Shepherd in need of a foster or forever home. He was rescued from a shelter awhile back and is ready for a new leash on life! He is very intelligent and loyal. Ringo bonds intensely with his person, so would thrive in a home with a single person, or possibly a couple with German Shepherd experience ideally. Like most shepherds, he will be your true companion. He may be protective, so a quiet home/setting is important for him. Ringo loves car rides and riding in the front seat! He would love road trips and other adventures. He takes treats gently and sits on command. He has done well around other dogs. Please email for an application. Ringo weighs about 69 lbs.
