The Pomeranian Rescue Group operates out of Hercules in Contra Costa County as a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating Pomeranians. The volunteers and staff here focus on getting these small dogs healthy and ready for adoption, which means every dog that comes through gets up-to-date vaccinations, is spayed or neutered, and receives a microchip. That level of medical care and preparation gives adopters real confidence when bringing a dog home.

Donations to the organization go directly toward veterinary bills, training costs, and the day-to-day care of the dogs in their program. It’s the kind of transparent approach that matters when you’re deciding where to support. The rescue also stays connected to the community through events and initiatives that educate people about responsible dog ownership and the realities of rescue work. If you’re in the East Bay and interested in meeting available dogs, these gatherings are good opportunities to talk with people who understand what it actually takes to care for a Pomeranian.

The location in Hercules puts you close to several dog-friendly parks and trails in the surrounding area, so if you’re visiting to potentially adopt or volunteer, you can explore the region with your own dog. The rescue works with people interested in adopting, fostering, or volunteering — whatever fits someone’s circumstances and commitment level. Their website has current information about available dogs and how to get involved, whether that’s through a one-time donation or ongoing participation in the rescue’s work. The Pomeranian Rescue Group’s approach is straightforward: they take in dogs that need help and prepare them properly for their next homes.
