or ADOPTION
Our ALL-VOLUNTEER team has written PARAGRAPHS about this dog and the kind of home that would suit her. Please ensure that when you email us, you address those points in this posting that would make us confident that you had read and understood those points because otherwise we will discard your email without a response as we expect that many people will see a non-shedding, healthy female dog of a desirable breed mix and will innundate us with inquiries when they are not at all an appropriate home. We took the time to write nine paragraphs of information and we expect that you take the time to address how you would be an appropriate home. Thanks for understanding.
Meet Miss Bristol Airplane! She is being fostered with our rescue group in the SF Bay Area. Because she is shy, we require any potential adopters to meet her in person.
Bristol joins us from San Jose Animal Care Center via San Jose Animal Advocates where she was treated by Tails of a Shelter Vet
Bristol is one of a recent run of We-Have-No-Idea-A-Poo's. For now, we are guessing Havanese and Maltese Mix but we would like to get her a DNA test to know for sure. You can donate below to make that happen :) Suggestions welcomed in the comments. UPDATE: Her DNA test came back and she is 37.5% Pomeranian, 12.5% Chinese Crested, 12.5% American Eskimo, 12.5% Chihuahua and 25% Even-the-DNA-people-have-no-idea.
Bristol weighs 12 lbs and is approximately 8 years old. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and free of parasites. She has had a dental cleaning with extractions and senior labwork.
She does take a (cheap) thyroid pill once a day ($50/year) and we would like to send her home with a year's supply and hopefully donors like you can help us make that happen.
Bristol is very shy and seems to prefer women to men. That doesn't mean she can't have a daddy, but he just has to be willing to work hard to win her over. For now, we would recommend that she not go to a home with small children as they would probably scare her. However, we do not have absolute rules on children as all children are different and are open to hearing how you would make it work.
Shy dogs benefit from learning commands and being rewarded for performing them. So, we will reimburse an adopter for taking her through an obedience class to build her confidence and depending on where you live there are even classes specifically for shy dogs.
Bristol is leash, crate and housetrained. She gets along well with dogs and did not bother the cats in our vet clinic. She appears to be low or no shedding and would need regular grooming appointments (she has one scheduled)!
She qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors program where dogs aged 5+ can be adopted to people 55+ for a $5 adoption fee (application required and normal adoption criteria apply).
To make a tax-deductible donation towards Bristol's thyroid meds ($50), training classes ($250), grooming appointment ($50), DNA test ($75) or her general and medical care while in our rescue ($500) please do so online at .paypal.me/UOH or email us for a physical address to send a check.
If you cannot adopt or donate, you can like, comment and share this post to help more people see this pretty girl.
To adopt her, please send a DETAILED email to beourpetgmail discussing things you saw in this post and let us know how you would be the appropriate home for her.

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 12
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!
