Adopt a Dog
Finding a forever home is the most important journey our shelter dogs take. Our dedicated team works hard to ensure every pup in our care is healthy, happy, and ready for their next chapter. Take a look at the lovable dogs and puppies currently waiting for a second chance. By choosing to adopt from OCAP, you are not just changing a rescue pet's life—you are gaining a lifelong, tail-wagging best friend.
PONCHO
Poncho is a 5 year old female cattle dog.
She is the sweetest most gentle little lady. She loves all people and seeks affection. She is playful and her favorite game is keep away. She will bring her favorite ball and put it in your lap for you to take it but then says “just kidding!” She is affectionate and loves to get butt scratches. She is quiet in her kennel and will wait patiently for her time to go outside to play. She also enjoys taking walks and is very good on leash.
She is not a fan of other dogs but who needs another when you have this girl? She is sure to fill your home with all the love and fun you will every need. We recommend a home with no other animals and no small children. She would love to join your family and have a home where she can run and play.
If you would like to set up a meeting with Poncho or learn more about her contact Becca at 760-669-8565
MISTY
Misty is a 5 year old female poodle.
She is absolutely gorgeous! She is sweet, affectionate, playful and eager to please. She was raised around children but we would recommend older children due to her size as she may knock smaller children over. She gets along with both dogs and cats. She has been such a good girl here at the shelter. She is always excited for her playtime and her walks. She will hop around enthusiastically during her yard time. We love to watch her pure joy for life.
If you are interested in Misty please contact Becca at 760-669-8565
Figaro
Figaro is a two year old male Aussie Doodle. He came to us when his owner had to relocate and was unable to take him.
Figaro came in very unsocialized but has come a long way. He LOVES other dogs and we believe he would do best in a home with at least one other canine companion. He is shy when he meets new people so we would recommend anyone interested in him to expect to come and spend time with him prior to taking him home.
He is a happy boy when he is around his doggie friends and playtime can become a bit rough (boys will be boys) so we would recommend a home with dogs that could keep up with his type of play. If interested in Figaro contact Becca at 760-669-8565
