Dear Olivia. It’s so nice to meet you and welcome you to our SCPR family. You are safe now and were loved from the moment I heard about you. I promise to help you get healthy, be happy and allow you to live without fear of pain or abandonment and the freedom to be a dog. Much love, your foster mama.

This this is What Rescue Looks Like❤️

Something very special happened on Thursday, April 7, 2017. 

LeMer Bevan, a friend of SCPR,  came down to LA from San Diego for work. He and SCPR volunteer Sondra had been following the 12yr old girl to the left, Luna (now named Libby) who was at Inland Valley Humane Society, Pomona, CA. She had little to no chance of getting out of the shelter. Sondra being pregnant and tired, told herself no more rescuing dogs because as some of you know, it is very stressful, time consuming and exhausting. 

LeMer finished  with work for the day and planned to go to Pomona to get Luna. Being that he loves senior poms (which is how he and Sondra met), he had no problem when asked.  In the meantime a 911 alarm that the girl on the right, now named Faith, was at a San Diego shelter and had until 5:30pm end of day,  and can ANYONE get her before the end of the day to save her life? Faith is a 15yr old senior with no eyes. The shelter thinks she may have been abused because her eyes (or lack there of) have lacerations, she has scars on her belly and her hair had been pulled. 

LeMer Bevan was contacted  again and asked what are the chances when you get back to San Diego you could also get Faith before 5:30 as we are her only chance before euthanasia. Being the senior pom loving guy he is, he said sure! LeMer gets faith and makes his way back to Orange County to pass off Faith to an SCPR volunteer and then drove back to San Diego all in the same day. 

It took four volunteers to get Faith out, to Orange County and then bathed all in the same day. She smelled badley and it took 3 baths to get her clean. LeMer later tells us that when he was picking up Faith from the shelter, he asked the young guy bringing her out if she wouldn't have made it past 5:30 if he hadn't come? He said no and thanks for taking her with tears in his eyes. 

We commend every single person who had a hand in getting these two out and to safety and of course as we know, the real hard work is still left to be done.

Testimony

"I like it. It was easy to install and very easy to use. I just have to make sure when I start walking that I close my screen on my iPhone. If I don't, I end up touching the Stop while placing it in my pocket and our walk is not logged. I had done this a few times before I got the hang of it. We have been walking for SCPR!!" - Teri E.

Bella Pomeranian - The 800 PetMEDS Dog

You will be missed Bella Pomeranian
Aug. 31, 2004 - Oct. 18, 2014

    

 Home of the 1-800-PETMEDS Pomeranian dog,
Bella Pomeranian!

The 2011 1800PETMEDS Commercial is causing quite a stir lately!  You may have seen it on many different cable and TV channels and asked yourself, "That is the cutest dog ever!  What is breed is it?!!  Is that Boo the Pomeranian?!"  Well, we here at SCPR know and her name is Bella Pomeranian. With her permission, we'll give the answer to this very popular question right here!

Bella is pure Pomeranian, bred by Dreamweaver Pomeranian's in Hewitt TX. Her sire is Int CH Dreamweaver's Billy the Kid, who we would dearly love to determine his whereabouts.  Bella was born 8/31/2004. Her hair is kept short because she has lost her coat and she just looks EVEN cuter this way. Bella is also a Pombassador for us, the Southern California Pomeranian Rescue and raises money to help us help homeless Pommies around So. California. Her prize from the PetMeds contest was donated directly to us in which we are very grateful.

Now, you may have also asked yourself, "That is the cutest actress ever! Who is she?" That is Kourtney Hansen and her co-stars are Paige the Border Collie and Edward the cat.

If that isn't enough, this tiny dynamo 4lb girl loves to educate the public about the breed of Pomeranian. And, she especially has a heart to bring awareness about the world of dog rescue. She herself has fostered and found new homes for several Pom-poms and she personally shares her many adventures about her fosters and travels on her PetMeds blog, "Being Bella".

You may have also heard that Bella Pomeranian also helps us financially with her hand-made "Doggie Blankies by Bella" made right here in the USA. It's true!  A $20 donation will get your dog, cat and even human baby a wonderfully made and very soft polar fleece blanket shipped directly from Bella in Southern California. Her generosity is shining example of how one person can make a difference!

UPDATE: Bella had suddenly passed away from natural causes on October 18, 2014.  She was 10 years old and leaves behind her pawents, Tommy and Deedee, along with several siblings.

2011 SCPR State of Address

"Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." -John F. Kennedy,  1963 

Written Oct 2011 from our Facebook Page:

"We would like to announce some major changes here at SoCalPomRescue. Principally, as of Sept 2011, Krystal Rose Clemens Morris and her daughter  Jacqueline R Clemens Gillaspy Hoover (aka Jackie, Missy, Jane Rescuer) are no longer part of the Southern California Pomeranian Rescue® in any form and with that we now have a new corporate address and email address to send correspondence to in which they are located above on our official business card. Lots of new things are happening on the 2012 horizon that we're excited about and hope to share with you soon!  We thank all of our current volunteers, their friends and our fans for their continued and encouraging support. Without selfless volunteers who hold jobs, rescues do not succeed in helping defenseless animals. We are truly blessed. Your support and patience is much appreciated as the volunteers of SCPR continue to press on in fulfilling our mission as a no-kill rescue on a daily basis. SCPR exists to help save the lives of homeless, aging and special needs Pommies to our best ability. We invite you to read more about us under our About section. -  Leesa Molina, SCPR President"

In Loving Memory

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
 
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals that had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
