Pomeranian Rescue

A Rescuer's Creed

I shall be a believer of all that is good in man and of all that is deserving in animals. I shall plead for their lives, campaign for their safety and uphold their right to a natural death. I shall seek out the injured and the maimed, the unloved, and the abandoned and tend to them in their last days. I shall not forget their place in the hierarchy of life, nor that we walk in each others paths.

I shall bear witness to the wonder they bring into our lives and to the beauty they bestow upon our souls. I shall renew their spirits when they are waning, bind their wounds when they bleed, cradle them when they whimper, and comfort them when they mourn.

I shall be near them in their hour of greatest need - a companion and friend when the time has come. I shall watch over them and console them and ask that the angels gather them in their arms. From the creatures of the earth I shall learn the fruits of compassion and undying love, and I shall be called the beloved of God. In their company I shall indeed be blessed.

We rescue pomeranians from shelters and off the streets throughout southern california. Most pomeranians will be accepted. However, we cannot save them all. For this reason we focus on high kill shelters and stray animals as well as urgent owner surrender and hoarding situations.

In January 2009, SCPR, a Non-Profit 501(c)(3), was recognized by the state of California. Our Pomeranian's have been rescued from kill shelters and relinquishment situations. All of our Pommies are pre-screened for behavioral, temperament, and health conditions prior to placement in a forever home. This includes being spayed/neutered.

Adopting is a very short process. We would have you fill out an application and submit it. After that we reserve the right to come and inspect your home to ensure that it is "puppy-proof" and that there are no hidden dangers for them to get into. Often people do not realize that common household plants, electronics set ups, unstable furniture, unenclosed balconies, pools, and other unsuspecting areas can pose a menacing threat. Avocado trees, aloe vera plants, and others can be poisonous. Unsecured balconies and high beds pose a threat of broken limbs, and so on. After the inspection the dog/puppy will be brought to your home for an initial meeting, if all goes well we will leave the animal with you and take the donation back to the rescue to help others.

Our standard adoption fee ranges between $100-500 based on what we and the shelters have provided it with. The common costs incurred are worming, vaccines, microchips (all dogs leave with one), spay/neuter, transport expenses, and medications to treat pre-existing conditions. If you are unsure of being able to afford this fee, we can always arrange for you to foster the dog you like with the added benefit of being able to pay the donation when you adopt down the line. During a foster situation with the intent to adopt the foster dog, we will place the dog on a hold status until you can afford the adoption fee.

The Pomeranians listed on the Southern California Pomeranian Rescue web site have been rescued from kill shelters and relinquishment situations and are urgently residing in foster homes.

If you are considering becoming a Pommie Parent please remember to read up about the breed, review the expense that comes along with adopting a pet and caring for it yearly, and think about how your lifestyle may affect your prospective Pommie child.

Remember adopting a pet is FOREVER, and if you are not sure if you can commit to loving and caring for a Pommie for the rest of it's life, maybe you should consider fostering first.

All of our Pommies are pre-screened for behavioral, temperament, and health conditions prior to placement in a forever home.

Adoption donations are between $100 and $500.

Many of our pommies are now safely in permanent homes with loving families. Many of these dogs were abandoned or left at shelters. We can't thank the owners of these dogs enough for the compassion and love they have shown in adopting these needy pommies.

Here in this house......

I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks of the other dogs 'out there'.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not have changed.
I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I'll eat.
I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.
I will feel the sun's heat, and the rain's coolness,
and be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.
My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted.
Here in this house...

There will be an effort to communicate with me on my level.
I will be talked to and, even if I don't understand,
I can enjoy the warmth of the words.
I will be given a name so that I may know who I am among many.
My name will be used in joy, and I will love the sound of it!
Here in this house...

I will never be a substitute for anything I am not.
I will never be used to improve peoples' images of themselves.
I will be loved because I am who I am, not someone's idea of who I should be.
I will never suffer for someone's anger, impatience, or stupidity.
I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.
If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to my teacher for blame.
Here in this house...

I can trust arms that hold, hands that touch...
knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it for the good of me.
If I am ill, I will be doctored.
If scared, I will be calmed.
If sad, I will be cheered.
No matter what I look like, I will be considered beautiful and thought to be of value.
I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too unruly, or not cute enough.
My life is a responsibility, and not an afterthought.
I will learn that humans can almost, sometimes, be as kind and as fair as dogs.

Here in this house...
I will belong.
I will be home.

The benefits for these dogs include new bedding, toys, collars, microchips, vaccinations, medical care, food, housing, and much more. Until very recently we were only able to provide these things through the donation of our members, but now we are able to receive these donations that are as good as cash to us.

We are also in need of an Orange County Intake Facility and Sanctuary. This is a fund that will be collected to rent a location or purchase a commercial facility for our use. Other rescues can incorporate with us for this facility if it is agreed upon for 24hr care and designation of location layout and limits.

Rescuer's Bridge
The Bridge Unlike most days at Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray, damp as a swamp and as dismal as could be imagined. All of the recent arrivals had no idea what to think, as they had never experienced a day like this before. But the animals who had been waiting for their beloved people knew exactly what was going on and started to gather at the pathway leading to The Bridge to watch.

It wasn't long before an elderly animal came into view, head hung low and tail dragging. The other animals, the ones who had been there for a while, knew what his story was right away, for they had seen this happen far too often. He approached slowly, obviously in great emotional pain, but with no sign of injury or illness. Unlike all of the other animals waiting at The Bridge, this animal had not been restored to youth and made healthy and vigorous again. As he walked toward The Bridge, he watched all of the other animals watching him. He knew he was out of place here and the sooner he could cross over, the happier he would be. But, alas, as he approached The Bridge, his way was barred by the appearance of an Angel who apologized, but told him that he would not be able to pass. Only those animals who were with their people could pass over Rainbow Bridge. With no place else to turn to, the elderly animal turned towards the fields before The Bridge and saw a group of other animals like himself, also elderly and infirm. They weren't playing, but rather simply lying on the green grass, forlornly staring out at the pathway leading to The Bridge. And so, he took his place among them, watching the pathway and waiting.

One of the newest arrivals at The Bridge didn't understand what he had just witnessed and asked one of the animals that had been there for a while to explain it to him.

"You see, that poor animal was a rescue. He was turned in to rescue just as you see him now, an older animal with his fur graying and his eyes clouding. He never made it out of rescue and passed on with only the love of his rescuer to comfort him as he left his earthly existence. Because he had no family to give his love to, he has no one to escort him across The Bridge."
The first animal thought about this for a minute and then asked, "So what will happen now?" As he was about to receive his answer, the clouds suddenly parted and the gloom lifted. Approaching The Bridge could be seen a single person and among the older animals, a whole group was suddenly bathed in a golden light and they were all young and healthy again, just as they were in the prime of life.
"Watch, and see.", said the second animal. A second group of animals from those waiting came to the pathway and bowed low as the person neared. At each bowed head, the person offered a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ears. The newly restored animals fell into line and followed him towards The Bridge. They all crossed The Bridge together.
"What happened?"

"That was a rescuer. The animals you saw bowing in respect were those who found new homes because of his work. They will cross when their new families arrive. Those you saw restored were those who never found homes. When a rescuer arrives, they are allowed to perform one, final act of rescue. They are allowed to escort those poor animals that they couldn't place on earth across The Rainbow Bridge."
