Southern California Pomeranian Rescue could not exist without the extraordinary generosity of our individual donors, foundations and corporations. Every dollar raised provides care, medical services and an opportunity for an animal to have a second chance at a new and wonderful life.
Expenses related to rescue, foster care, veterinary care and placement significantly exceed the money raised through adoption fee donations. Our operating costs continue to rise, including monthly expenses such as phones, gasoline, car insurance, postage, supplies, printing, educational materials, website, and other administrative costs. Each year we are able to rescue more animals in need, but the costs go up proportionately.
Your gift allows us to be a lifeline to unwanted animals when they have run out of time. Our heartfelt thanks for your support.
- Make a tax deductible cash donation. $10 pays for a vaccination; $50 pays to spay/neuter a puppy, $200 will cover all our expenses for the average rescue. Just use the PAYPAL form below for online contributions or send a check to our address listed on the home page. You can even become a member of our planned giving circle by committing to donate on an annual, semi-annual or quarterly basis.

We have partnered with www.Recycle4charity.com to collect and receive cash dividends for used cartridges and cell phones. These cash dividends are used to directly benefit homeless, shelter, and abandoned dogs. 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. To see a list of the donations that we receive in exchange for each item please visit the above listed website.
Current Donations Needed:
We are in need of physical goods such as blankets, towels, beds, collars, leashes, bowls, washable pee pads, toys, and food! Physical donations are also tax dedcutible and you can rest assured that the donation can only be used for the pomeranians.
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. Please contact us for more information on partnering for a new facility.
We pick up new pomeranians from shelters and other rescues throughout southern california. Most pomeranians will be accepted, however we cannot save them all. For this reason we focus on high kill shelters and over run rescues.
Rest In Peace our Dear Friends!
Foxy
You will be missed despite your short stay with us. You were dealt an awful hand when your owner left you in the pound. We took you into our arms and our hearts as we slowly watched you fade comfortably into the dark. You knew someone loved you and that they cared, we did what we could but your heart was too far gone when we met. Rest in Peace dear friend as you will always be missed.
Goodbye
With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes
after all these years; we must say goodbye
Please understand; we've done all we could
if there was anything we could do; you know we would
I'm sitting right here; gently rub your ears
while I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears
The memories you gave us; we'll never forget
especially the ones; of the day we all met
One last hug; and one last kiss
you have no idea; how much you'll be missed
To look into your eyes; this one last time
you tell me it's ok; you know it's your time
Close your eyes now; and go to sleep
we'll pray to the Lord; your soul he'll keep
Go in peace now; our good friend
we'll stay right here with you; until the end
Dream of that special day and time
when we'll meet at the Bridge; and all will be fine
We'll run and play; side by side
with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside
Your memory will live on; in each one of us
you'll always be number 1; to all of us
Have a safe journey; through the night
I promise when you awake; you'll be in God's light
So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes
just for now my friend; we say goodbye
John Quealy
Smores
Despite our love and tender care we lost you to your illness. We tried to give you everything but failed to heal you in the end. I sat there with you as the doctor said there was not going to be a happy end. I cried that day and cry still today for your fragile puppy soul. At 8 years old someone left you alone, never mentioned that your lungs were filling. When we meet again I will hold you as I did that day and comfort you with everything in me. You were a dear sweet boy with every day a growing light in you. I saw the love in your eyes as you pleaded with me to let you go with Foxy. Never will I forget the cry you made as I gave you one final kiss to say goodbye. I held your paw and stroked your fur as your eyes slowly greyed. I wish that there was something more I could have done, something to help you live long, but alas I am but a mere mortal. Now you are resting in your maker's lap waiting for me to come and claim you. When my time comes I know you'll be waiting and guide me safely to the other side. For there was never a more loyal and cunning boy than you. Rest in Peace my Dear Friend Smores, for one day I will see you again.
We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
in every brook I pass
and when I call, no one but I
can see the bending grass.
Winnie
Winnie was a sweet cuddly girl that needed a quiet home where she could have been a lap doggie. Winnie was a loveable little bear that would have given lots of love and happiness to anyone that adopted her. Winnie would have done best in a senior home where things are a bit quieter as she had a very mellow personality. Unfortunately our dear Winnie lost the battle of tumors on 9/23/09. Her trachea collapsed and she could no longer stand or go outside. We loved dear Winnie as one f our own and will miss her forever. We know she is now romping in the clouds and able ton breath freely as she did when she was a puppy. Sleep well dear Winnie for one day we hope to see you again.
Lord, you have embraced a good friend and loving companion.
While we mourn what we have lost, we do celebrate what we had...
and in saying goodbye, we renew our pledge to love and care
for any creature you entrust to us for its time of life.
Thank you, Lord, for the joy this loved one gave us and for making it
possible for us to have made this friend's life a good one.
returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you. For the care that you gave to me
so unselfishly. For all of these things I am grateful and thankful. I ask that you grieve
not for the loss but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each other's lives.
My life was fuller because you were there, not as owner, but as my friend. Today, I am
as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and
the sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures. I can run, jump and play
and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints
and no regrets and no aging. We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know
that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such
as you are very rare and unique. Don't hold the love that you have within yourself.
Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies,
and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.
I was a real true goodness to gracious sweetheart just like my name. I was saved by a volunteer at the shelter on the day they planned to kill me. I was only 5 years old, I never barked, I was teeny tiny at only 5 pounds and a lazy lap doggie. I had so much love and so many cuddles and kisses to give left in me. I liked to play with the other girls here at my foster moms house and to lay in my soft bed and rest at the end of the day. Unfortunately I had late onset Distemper and because there was no sanctuary facility for me to get proper care for the remainder of my life, I was unable to be saved furever. I declined quickly without that special bond that pommies form and my enlarged heart gave out. The pommie rescue ladies did everything they could and showed me as much love as they could, but god called me home.
One by one, they file past my cage,
Too old, too worn, too broken, no way
Way past his time, he can't run and play
Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way
A little old man, arthritic and sore
It seems I am not wanted anymore
I once had a home, I once had a bed
A place that was warm, and where I was fed
Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail
Who wants a dog so old and so frail?
My family decided I didn't belong
I got in their way; my attitude was wrong
Whatever excuse they made in their head
Can't justify how they left me for dead
Now I sit in this cage, where day after day
The younger dogs all get adopted away
When I had almost come to the end of my rope
You saw my face, and I finally had hope
You saw through the grey and the legs bent with age
And felt that I still had life beyond this cage
You took me home, gave me food and a bed
And shared your own pillow with my poor tired head
We snuggle and play and you talk to me low
You love me so dearly, you want me to know
I may have lived most of my life with another
But you outshine them with a love so much stronger
And I promise to return all the love I can give
To you, my dear person, as long as I live
I may be with you for a week or for years
We will share many smiles, you will no doubt shed tears
And when the time comes that God deems I must leave
I know you will cry and your heart it will grieve
And when I arrive at the Bridge all brand new
My thoughts and my heart will still be with you
And I will brag to all that will hear
Of the person who made my last days oh, so dear
