Adult Dogs for Adoption in Ontario, CA: 30 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

That’s not because he’s unfriendly, as he doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body, but because he looks to one special person for guidance and affection. Right now that’s his foster mom, who gets all the belly-rub requests. He’s shy with new people and probably won’t show his true self at a first meeting, but the way to his heart is simple: bring treats! He’ll happily take them from new friends, and he’s so food motivated that he’s a joy to train. Once he decides you’re his person, you’ll have a loyal, affectionate companion for life.
At heart, Oscar is a homebody. He’d do best in a calm, adult-only home with a yard, ideally with a friendly small dog who can keep showing him the ropes. He’s fully potty trained with zero accidents in the house, sleeps quietly in his dog bed in the bedroom, rarely barks, and is very healthy. He doesn’t guard his food or toys. Car rides make him a little nervous, but he does great once he arrives. He hasn’t lived with cats, but his foster thinks he’d likely do fine with them.
If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick with a smile that will melt your heart, Oscar is ready to meet you.

Toby is also a very good boy at bath time, patiently letting you get him all cleaned up.

Toby is neutered and ready to find a family who will appreciate his fun personality, affectionate nature, and love of companionship. Whether he is making you laugh with his playful antics, enjoying time with a doggy friend, or snuggling beside you after a busy day, Toby has a way of making ordinary moments special.

When Ryder first joined OURS, he discovered the wonderful world of unlimited kibble and, well, let's just say he got a little carried away! He gobbled up so much food that his belly ballooned, sending us straight to the emergency vet in a panic. As it turns out, Ryder simply has some wonky ribs that make his tummy look a little unusual when it's full. Everything works just as it should, and all that kibble digested without a hitch! Crisis averted, and Ryder earned himself a pretty funny story!

But Ryder's journey hasn't been all laughs. He came to us with his sister, his very best friend and partner in crime. Sadly, she lost her battle with complications from distemper, leaving Ryder to figure out the world without her. And while our hearts broke for this sweet boy, Ryder showed us just how resilient a little dog can be.

He learned to stand on his own four very short legs, make new friends, and embrace life with the sweetest spirit imaginable. Today, Ryder is a happy, loving little guy who is ready to leave the hard chapters behind and start his greatest adventure yet — a forever family of his very own!

Quick Facts About Ryder

Special Features: Long body, teeny-tiny legs, and adorably wonky ribs!

We gave her something simple: time, patience, safety, and the freedom to come out of her shell at her own pace.

And look at her now!

Violet is playful, affectionate, silly, and absolutely in love with her humans. She loves attention, loves being close to her people, and has become the happiest little shadow. If you're looking for a dog who will follow you around, celebrate when you walk into the room, and make you feel like the most important person in the world, Violet may be your girl.

She gets along well with other dogs but doesn't need them for companion. We also think she may be just fine with cats with the proper introduction.

Violet's transformation has been one of our favorite reminders of why rescue matters. The frightened little dog who once tried to make herself invisible is now showing everyone exactly who she was meant to be.

If you're looking for a playful, affectionate, people loving little companion who wants to be your best friend, pick Violet. We have a feeling she is going to love you right back with her whole heart.
