Shelby has gotten into some mischief when left alone at home, so now she stays in a crate. She whines a little about it but she's getting used to it. She just loves riding in a car, with her head out the window and her paw up on the dashboard.

Tucker is a 9-year-old, 50 pound Catahoula/Australian Shepherd Mix. He is an ultra friendly dog. He loves attention from everyone he meets, and will nudge you with his nose to get some additional petting. He is equally good with children and adults. He gets along well with other dogs he meets. He would do best in a home without cats or other small animals.

Tucker was born with a foot deformity that made it difficult and painful for him to put weight one of his paws. The problem was not repairable and his back leg was amputated. He remaining back paw needs to be protected. It was also deformed at birth and he wears a boot to protect it. He can only do short walks on soft surface.

Tucker rides well in a car, contentedly lying down and looking out the window. He's a quiet dog who occasionally whines with excitement but rarely if ever barks.

Gracie is a 25 pound, 13-year-old Cocker Spaniel. She bonds strongly to a person and wants to be near you as much as possible, looking at you with her big dark eyes and melting your heart. She loves nothing more than to be held and reassured. She is friendly in a quiet environment, but can get a little overwhelmed and vocal when there is lots of activity. Gracie gets along well with the dogs and cats in the house where she's staying, but she sometimes gets nervous when meeting new dogs. She would probably do best as an only dog, where she could get all the attention she desires.

Gracie rides well in a crate and walks well on a leash. When left at home, she sleeps peacefully. She is learning to be housetrained.

Gracie came to us from a home where she suffered severe neglect that led to ear infections and skin problems. She's doing great now and is looking for a family who likes to sit by the fire and cuddle.

Graham is a perfect chihuahua - he is about 9 years old and is 5 pounds of Grade A lap-snuggler, good with other gentle dogs, good with people, happy to accompany you whereever and whenever. He does have arthritis in his neck but he doesn't let it slow him down. Take him for a walk and he proudly struts at the end of his leash. He plays with toys and runs around with the pack of dogs at his foster home; he has his favorite canine companions and can often be seen snuggling with them.

His foster mom says "Graham is very endearing and adores attention. He climbs up and wraps himself around my shoulders like a cat; he cannot ever get close enough!" If you love chihuahuaha, Graham will adore you right back.

Angie is a 50 pound, 12-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix. She is a mellow old girl, who walks slowly and spends a lot of time sleeping. She's not interested in toys. She enjoys going on leisurely walks, and being outside in general, though she's also happy hanging out near her people wherever they may be.

Ninety-nine per cent of the time, Angie is a sweet and gentle as they come, but she does have an issue resource guarding food. Angie's foster mom has learned to put her food down and then just leave Angie to it. She does not like people moving her bowl or reaching toward it while she is eating. Because of this challenging behavior, Angie needs to go to a guardian who is comfortable giving her her space around her food dish. Dogs with this behavior can often be rehabilitated, but due to some cognitive dysfunction on Angie's part because of her age it might be hard for her to rehab 100% from this behavior.

Angie has weak legs and can have trouble on slippery floors. She is also hard of hearing like many older dogs. She's fine riding in a car, but needs help getting in. She gets along fine with a 7-year-old spaniel mix in her foster home. She's generally indifferent to other dogs, and also to cats.

Sunny is a 9 pound, 12-year-old, handsome long hair Dachshund. He was surrendered to a shelter when his guardian went into a care facility and was then transferred to POMDR. He is a little shy at first, but then is an absolute doll with his human family members. He can live with other dogs, but might be a little bossy with some dogs. He loves to snuggle and be on his person's lap.

Like many Dachshunds, Sunny can be protective of his human family while on leash out and about and if visitors come to the home. He is learning to walk on a gentle leader and that is helping a lot. He needs an adopter who is willing to continue his training inside and outside the home and is committed to managing his behaviors lifelong if necessary. He needs to be in a home without young children.

Mayla is a 10 pound, 7-year-old Min Pin/Chihuahua mix. She came to us when her senior guardian could no longer care for her. Not having been socialized, she was very shy and frightened at first, but has since blossomed into a playful and fun little girl in her foster home.

Mayla needs to gain the trust of new people before showing her true personality so she needs a patient adopter, who can take it slowly with her and let her blossom once again in their care.

Buster is a 10 pound, 11-year-old Maltese. He has lots of positive qualities - is housebroken, is easy to walk on leash and enjoys short walks, is good with other dogs and with cats, and is very smart and quick to learn.

Buster does have a couple of quirks which put him in our Behaviorally Challenged category. He is nervous about being touched and can snap if you startle him. He is fine being petted. But simple things that we take for granted with typical dogs are difficult for him - like bathing, cleaning his eyes, pulling a burr from his fur. If he thinks you are going to try to "do" something to him, he will snap.
