e to people willing to come to us to adopt. For the first 30 days he is available, he will be adoptable to people willing to come to us to adopt. After that, if he is still available, we will consider transporting him to major US airports for flexible adopters willing to work with the volunteer flight attendants who escort them in-cabin on STANDBY flights.
Zero is a 16 yr old, 6 lb Chihuahua and was an owner-surrender to San Jose Animal Care Center and as transported to us via the volunteers of San Jose Animal Advocates and Brave Dogs Advocacy
We don't know how anyone could walk away from this sweet, brave boy after having him for 16 years. He is such a sweet and gentle and unassuming old man.
He was so sad at the shelter that they thought he was dying and sent him home with a volunteer so that he could have his last days warm, snuggled and loved in a home. As soon as he was in a home, he perked up, started eating and soon showed everyone that he was NOT, in fact, dying but wanted to live!
The volunteer coordinated with us to take him and he got his HORRIFIC teeth taken care of and neutered (!!) at the same time.
He is also microchipped, vaccinated, free of parasites and has had a senior lab panel.
He's pretty darn healthy for SIXTEEN. He takes a VERY CHEAP pill for his thyroid once a day and a cheap pill for arthritis once a day. Together, they cost around $5/month total and he will come with a 3 month supply with 3 authorized refills
He LOVES to eat and curl up in blankets -- LOVES FOOD, LOVES SNUGGLY BLANKETS. Those are his two best things ever. He also enjoys walks and wants to smell all of the leaves when he goes out and say hi to all of the people. He is a little shy at first but warms quickly. He also likes other dogs, ignored the cats at the vet clinic and we think he would be fine with gentle children (more tea-party than crimestopper). He is crate trained and appears to be housebroken as well.
Zero qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors Program where pets over age 5 are available to people over age 55 for a $5 adoption fee (application required and regular adoption criteria apply).

Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5
Umbrella of Hope is a non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals off death row from local shelters. We offer rebates of adoption fees after completion of obedience classes and CGC titles.
Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet. Some of our senior animals have sponsorships for their food/vet care/medicine for the rest of their life at our vet in Pittsburg, CA (94565)
Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service. Other retired public servants, please let us know what career you retired from and we can let you know if we offer any discounts for your adoption
Please send an email to the Umbrella Of Hope Animal Director with any inquiries at beourpetgmail. Detailed emails will be answered first.
We thank Maddie's Fund for their sponsorship, Well Pet Vet Clinic for providing most of our veterinary services, Lovely Grooming for our grooming needs, and Delta Dog Camp for training. We thank Memoirs of a Dog and Share the Joy Photography for the beautiful portraits of many of our animals and a special thanks to volunteer photographers Barbara, Kristy, Christine and Natalie. Please support these businesses for supporting rescue!
We are on all social media at umbrellaofhope and we invite you to follow us and share which helps more people see and adopt our pets.
