    OC Pom Rescue made the entire experience really pleasant. They are organized and follow strict guidelines to ensure the pets are going to safe and loving homes. The animals are well cared for in their care or the care of the foster. It's my first time adopting a pet. I've always had chihuahuas and had them at 6 weeks, so I was always responsible for the vaccines, sterilization and micro chipping. This is all taken care of for you prior to adoption which saves a lot of time and money. You can see from the level of care and dedication that this rescue truly has the animals best interest at heart. I would highly recommend them for any Pomeranian adoptions.

    We adopted a dog through them and they are so wonderful to work with. I love that they are doing this work to put Pomeranians in good homes that will love them for the rest of their lives. The adoption process was in depth but easy! I'm glad they really vet people to make sure the dogs are going to the best homes possible. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to adopt a new best friend!

    I started volunteering with OC Pom this year and it has been such a wonderful experience. The team is well organized and everyone is so compassionate and thoughtful in everything they do. I have looked at other rescues to foster at but OC Pom Rescue really caught my eye and I'm glad it did! Everyone on the team is a team player and always eager to lend a hand--I never felt lost or judged. A genuine team like this is hard to come across and I'm lucky to be a part of them! I had the opportunity to foster the sweetest girl and OC Pom Rescue made the entire process smooth and easy. I can't wait to foster more dogs down the line and to help out with their events--yes they host events and they are poppin! Maybe one day, I'll even adopt from them too!

    In my opinion, rescuing a dog is the only option when you're looking to add a furry companion to the family ;) Nala is the 4th Dog I've rescued in my adult life... and hands down, this was my most FAVORITE adoption experience! From the start - their website is easy to navigate, the descriptions of available dogs are excellent, communication is great, the adoption process is thorough - and ultimately the entire OC POM Team is THE BOMB! When I had a chance to connect with Jasmine, she was delightful, easy to talk to and completely honest about whether the pup's personality aligned with what we were looking for. OC POM CARES so much about their pups, AND the families who adopt them. At this point, I feel like they're family. And best of all, our pup Nala (formerly Cinnamon) has COMPLETED our family! When the time comes for us to expand our family further, it will definitely be with OC POM :)

    We recently adopted our dog from OC Pom Rescue and I can't speak highly enough about them. They truly care about the welfare of their rescues and our dog's foster mom was such a kind, caring person who took great care of our Pippa before she came to us. They vet potential owners/homes carefully, but the adoption process is still simple and efficient. They provide excellent medical care to the dogs they're fostering and are very transparent and forthcoming with adoptive families. They also do a great job of trying to match a dog's needs and temperament to the right home. They do a lot of great events and fundraisers as well and work to educate and raise awareness about the importance of rescues and caring for dogs. If you're looking for a Pom to adopt, I highly recommend OC Pom Rescue!

    I adopted and volunteer with OC Pom Rescue and both have been amazing experiences! The entire crew truly cares and works hard for all these pups. There's a thorough application process in place so each dog truly goes to the best home for them. There's also so much that happens behind the scenes to rescue these babies. If you're looking to adopt, the process is completely laid out on the website and it's actually followed so make sure to submit a home video when applying. Highly recommend adopting or volunteering with OC Pom Rescue. All the poms + other small doggos are in great hands. :)

    I started volunteering with OC Pom Rescue in December and absolutely love working with the founders and other volunteers at this rescue. They are so caring and truly love the work that they do. Recently, my family become foster fails as we adopted a cutie that was rescued and placed into our home. We just could not give this little guy up and now he is with us forever. Highly recommend volunteering or adopting from OC Pom Rescue. Please only do so if you are 100% wanting to adopt and/ or help these fur babies. They go through so much and need love and stability.

    Here's my 2nd foster with them, willow. Willow is now spending his days at his perfect forever home!

    As a volunteer of this rescue, I will say that they truly love and do what is best for all of their rescue dogs. They do what it takes to get each of them a loving foster and ensure they are in the right environment for that specific pup. If you are looking for that perfect small pup. You will find it here. Rest assured, all these dogs have been fully vetted and ready for their perfect forever home.

    After we lost our beloved Pomeranian to Lymphoma recently, we were heartbroken and desperately looking for a new Pom to adopt. We searched everywhere with no luck. Due to COVID, all animal shelters are very difficult to deal with. Some private rescues either raised their adoption fees or wouldn't even reply to inquiries. This all changed once we found OC Pom Rescue. They are by far the best animal rescue we have ever dealt with! They sincerely love dogs and care about the well-being of the animals. They always ensure the adoptions are the best match and the processes go smoothly. They are very personal and checking in with us frequently. We not only adopted one dog, we adopted two Pomeranian puppies! We can't be happier! This whole experience was like a dream came true for us. We want to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers who are working tirelessly to foster animals. They all went above and beyond to help the dogs to be placed at good homes. We highly recommend IC Pom Rescue to everyone who is looking for the best animal rescue to work with.

    Everyone who works with OC POM RESCUE are incredible! We just adopted 1 of 55 Pomeranians that were rescued from the Road Trip Pack and now our family is complete! We are so impressed and grateful for the wonderful work Jasmine (founder) and her team does! They are a wonderful group who really work hard to help many abused, abandoned poms who simply want a loving family find a forever home. Not only do they help adult dogs or puppies, they also make sure their senior/hospice or special needs dogs are well taken care of. You can tell they are very passionate about what they do and they are not just trying to place with the first person who come along or who may not be the best fit. They go through a diligent procedure to make sure all their dogs are adopted to the right loving family. Working with OC POM RESCUE is a breeze, the adoption process is straight forward, communication is hassle free and the poms are healthy, happy and ready to come home to their forever homes. Adopt always, never shop for dogs! THANK YOU OC POM!!!

    OC Pom rescue is filled with kind and loving volunteers who have a deep passion for dogs!!! The main people: Jasmine, Karli, Emily, Adriana, and Sondra spend so much time devoted to the rescue -- they organize events, connect with all the volunteers, create gofundme's and posts to fundraise for dogs' medical and vetting costs, and are constantly working with the shelters to bring dogs into the rescue. They work tirelessly due to their devotion to dogs! I adopted my second dog Peanut from this rescue about a year ago!! Peanut was at a shelter, and OC Pom worked with the shelter to get him into the rescue. When he first got to the rescue, he was skinny/frail, dirty, scared and untrusting of people. The first few days he was whining nonstop. He also had double luxating patellas and was unable to walk without limping. The rescue set him up a gofundme account, a promotional video, and several social media posts in order to raise the funds for his costly surgery. Eventually he was able to get his surgery because of the rescue! Through this surgery and his foster experience he now lives an incredible life. He walks, jumps, and runs everywhere now (something he would have never been able to do if it weren't for the rescue). Also, through his foster experience he became more comfortable with people, and he started to develop his trust in people through having more positive and loving interactions. He also is at a healthy weight now and his coat is fabulous and glossy now that he is given good meals. Everyone I talk to says he looks like a totally new dog. I deeply thank OC Pom rescue for not only saving him and bringing him into the rescue but also letting me adopt him. He is my angel!!! I've also been volunteering as a Foster with OC Pom for almost 2 years now and it has been an incredible experience! Fostering gave me the opportunity to help dogs (that come from less than ideal situations) become accustomed to being cared for, trained, socialized and loved. Many of the dogs I fostered were coming out of medical procedures (double luxating patellas, broken legs, neuters, dentals) so I would care for each dog for a few months. Without OC Pom, many of these dogs would not have been able to get the medical care that they needed to live happy and healthy lives. Some of them were surrendered because previous owners haven't been able to take care of their needs. Others came from hoarding cases and were accustomed to living their whole lives in crates. The rescue helped each of these dogs. And being a foster is an incredible experience because you have the opportunity to be one of the people to help these dogs to step into their new lives of being given the love and spoiling they deserve!!! I 1000% recommend fostering if you have the love, patience, and time to care for a dog. If not, the rescue also has opportunities to volunteer as a person who transports dogs, writes blogs, or helps with events. This is definitely an amazing community to be a part of!

    I was looking to adopt a senior Pomeranian who would be fit to live in an apartment in the city. OC Pom Rescue was extremely responsive and I was able to meet the dog that I applied for within 1 week of application. He is the sweetest Pomeranian with the best temper. I highly recommend anyone looking to adopt to consider OC Pom rescue! The volunteers truly love their dogs and care for them like family and will make sure that they go to the best possible adopters.

    Do you have any volunteer opportunities for a 10 year old? I am interested in volunteering with my daughter. She absolutely love animals and her favorite dogs are pomeranians. Unfortunately we can't have pets in our rental home.

    Yes, they are welcome to join us at our pet adoption events every other month. Our foster dogs enjoy breaks during the event, and we always need volunteers to sit with them, walk with them, and get them water/treats.

    Hello, do you only accept Pomeranians?

    Yes, we are a Pomeranian breed specific rescue.

Unlike many rescues that are solely foster-based, PPR has a physical location. This is a huge advantage because you can actually visit, meet the dogs (and cats), and even use their play yard to see if you get along before committing to adoption. The facility is clean and the animals appear well-cared for. Every volunteer I met was friendly and helpful, without being pushy like I've encountered at some other shelters. I'm so grateful this rescue exists to help with the animal overpopulation problem. I highly encourage everyone to check them out (and other rescues/shelters in the area) and consider adoption first when searching for a new family member!

    06/02/2026- A feral cat was brought to a pet hospital (Stanton Pet Hospital, 8591 Katella Ave,…read moreStanton, CA) due to breathing issues. His exam and treatment were being covered by a third-party person or organization (Hilary Strauss/ Second Chances). During the check in, hospital staff were informed of the possible cause for the cat's issues. He had possibly ingested water from a bowl that was covered in mold. The cat was dropped off under the impression that he would be treated and returned to the primary person (feeder). The cat was sedated while an x-ray was completed. He was determined to have fluid in his lungs or abdomen. The hospital and the agent for the third party (Hilary Strauss) made the decision to euthanize the cat while he was sedated. This decision was made without any signs of suffering or distress, positive results of an incurable condition, or the inclusion of the primary who delivered the cat for treatment and signed all his paperwork. An effort was made to obtain all documents related to this incident, and those requests were initially denied. The hospital finally provided the patient sign in papers, and results from the x-ray. The sign in sheet had been amended by the hospital's office manager (Sylvia Hernandez) and there were no copies of results from any exams or blood work.
