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.
ZEUS
Zeus is an 8 year old male German Shepherd. He can be dog selective so would need to be introduced to new doggies slowly. He takes a minute to warm up to new people but once he realizes you are safe he will seek affection.
He loves to be kissed and hugged and is a gentle boy. He will sit for pets and kisses all day long. He enjoys playing fetch but is pretty laid back. He enjoys walks, sometimes pulls at first but settles right in after a minute.
We recommend children over the age of 6 as he is an older gentleman and would prefer a more calm quiet home without chaos.
If interested in learning more about ZEUS contact our dog coordinator Becca.
Olivia
OLIVIA “Livie”
3 year old female Dutch Shepherd mix.
Olivia is a very sweet, gentle, petite girl.
She does need to be an only pet as she does not like cats and is picky about her doggie friends.
She walks well on leash but will pull for the first few minutes. Once she gets over her excitement settles she is well behaved.
She is very affectionate and will melt into your lap for cuddles and would sit there all day soaking up some love.
She is very playful and likes to play tag!
She is a curious girl and likes to explore the outdoors but will listen well to commands and is easily redirected.
Contact Becca at (760) 669-8565 if interested in setting up a meet and greet with Olivia.
LUCY
Lucy is a 3.5 year old female Great Pyrenese.
She came to us as an owner surrender when her family could no longer care for her. Lucy is a gentle giant. She is good with people of all ages. She adores children and smiles when she sees people coming to give her cuddles. She is dog selective and seems to be okay with male dogs. NO other famale dogs for this girl as she does not like them.
Lucy is a very calm girl who would love to have a home of her own where she can enjoy fresh air and all the love and affection she can get.
If interested in meeting Lucy contact our dog coordinator Becca.
