Bailey is the kind of dog who seems to have sunshine woven right into her soul. This happy, friendly Lab girl greets life with a wagging tail, a bright smile, and an eagerness to be part of whatever adventure comes next. Bailey is wonderful with kids and gets along well with other dogs. She's also a pleasure to walk and does well on leash, whether you're heading out for a neighborhood stroll, exploring local trails, or enjoying a family outing. Bailey would love an active home that can help her stretch those legs and enjoy the things she loves most: walks, playtime, outdoor adventures, and making memories with her people. After a day of fun and exercise, she's more than happy to settle in and soak up all the love and attention you have to offer.

Sweet Bailey joins us due to changes in her family's circumstances. While she has been well loved for many years, the incredibly difficult decision was made to help Bailey find a new home where she can continue to thrive.

Bailey girl will be joining the POMDR pack on Friday, June 26th. We'd love for her to land straight in a loving home. Can she stay with you? Please reach out today if so!

Meet Sparkler! Just like a warm summer evening filled with laughter, ice cream, and a little bit of magic in the air, Sparkler has a way of making everything around her feel a little brighter. Sparkler is easygoing, affectionate, and happy to take life at a gentle pace.

Sparkler gets along well with other dogs and brings a calm, friendly presence wherever she goes. With her fluffy coat, darling face, and soft, soulful eyes, she's impossible not to fall in love with. Sweet Sparkler joins us after she was found as a stray and brought to Hitchcock Road Animal Services. They felt she would do best to find her forever family in a senior focused rescue.

We will be seeing miss Sparkler on Wednesday 6/24. We'd love for her to land in a loving foster home soon after her arrival. Can she stay with you?

Pack your bags - Snorkel is ready for the trip of a lifetime! This adorable pup is searching for a forever family to be his favorite travel companions. With his sweet personality and easygoing nature, Snorkel is the kind of dog who makes every day feel like a vacation. Whether he's exploring new places or relaxing by your side, he's happiest when he's sharing the journey with people he loves.

A true social traveler, Snorkel gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is always happy to make new friends along the way. When it comes to cats, he's more of a "live and let live" kind of guy. He's generally indifferent and content to coexist peacefully. His friendly attitude and laid-back charm make him an easy companion for all kinds of friends.

Snorkel's dream itinerary includes cozy naps, plenty of belly rubs, and a one-way ticket to a loving forever home. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick to make every season feel like a getaway, this sweet boy is ready to stamp his paw print on your heart. All that's missing from his travel plans is you!

Snorkel joined the POMDR pack from Los Banos Animal Shelter after being picked up as a stray.

Snorkel is currently relaxing in a doggy suite, but what this sweet pup would really love is a cozy foster home while waiting for adoption.

Brisket is a fluffy bundle of charm with a heart as warm and comforting as his name. Despite being through a lot, he loves cuddles and will make that known with a nudge of the paw. He's also terrific with dogs, remaining calm even in the face of high energy ones. His easygoing nature makes him a wonderful companion for both quiet evenings and busy households alike.

He could use some TLC as he recovers from some injuries, but his patient, calm demeanor makes it easy to care for this gentle guy.

Brisket came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. He joined POMDR due to his medical needs.

Brisket is relaxing in a doggy suit as he receives medical care before going to foster. If you are interested in fostering Brisket, contact our Volunteer Coordinator.

Aged to Perfection - $25 Adoption Fee -Meet the one and only, Mighty Joe! This lovable lad is the definition of a perfect companion when in the right home. Whether you're heading out for a hike, spending the day at the beach, or curling up with a good book, Joe is happily along for the ride- or the nap. He's wonderfully chill when he wants to be but loves the active life as well. He's the best of both worlds!

Joe is a social little guy with a big heart. He greets everyone he meets with an enthusiastic, lightning-fast tail wag. While Joe loves to make new friends, Joe has his quirks that his adoptive home will need to learn to work with.

He has nipped in a few of his foster homes. Typically when putting on his hardness or being touched when he isn't ready for it. We did xrays to see if he was experiencing pain and found out he has arthritis in both shoulders but very severe in his right shoulder. We also discovered that he had a ballistic pellet (bebe?shrapel?) lodged in his left femur. This doesn't seem to be causing any pain, but it does let us know this pup has been through some rough times. He is now on anti inflammatory medication and pain killers and he is doing much better. Because he has nipped and drawn some blood, we need to be extra careful about his next placement.

He can be reactive to other dogs when out on leash, but is getting much better with training. He can get along with mellow dogs (he usually likes smaller dogs), but he'd most likely thrive as the only pet in the house. Because of his need for ongoing behavior support, Mighty Joe's adoption will come with a $1,000 training stipend to help with getting him started on the right paw working with a private trainer who can assist with behavior support as he transitions to his forever home.

Darling Joe joined us from the Bradshaw Animal Shelter when they reached out seeking placement with a senior focused rescue that could help with his medical needs. He came to us heart-worm positive. He has been through the heart-worm treatment and now has a clean bill of health.

Mighty Joe is looking for a foster home to call his very own. He is cleared for more exercise than while he was on his Heartworm treatments and he's ready to get out and see the world! Looking for an active companion? Please reach out about Joe today!

Meet Antoine! In true Frenchie fashion, he's a boy with a big personality packed into a perfectly squishy little frame. This charming boy is the definition of Frenchie fun: equal parts silly, snuggly, and just a little bit dramatic in the most entertaining way. Antoine loves being close to his people but is also perfectly content hanging back at home if you need to run errands without him as your shadow.

This little guy brings a lot of heart, a lot of personality, and just the right amount of Frenchie flair to brighten any home lucky enough to have him. He's excellent with other dogs big and small but is currently a bit overstimulated when meeting fellow canine pals and until neutered, may need to be kept solo to not upset dog friends.

This sweet Frenchie boy came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray with severe facial swelling. Due to his facial swelling and concern for his medical needs we expedited for Antoine to join us to get the care he needed.

Our veterinary team is currently evaluating his medical needs and helping him get on the road to recovery. While we don't know all of what Antione's medical future will hold, we're hopeful to see him off to a loving foster family soon!

Sweet Jessie is proof that age is just a number. This beautiful senior Husky has all the charm, wisdom, and love that only come with years of experience and she's ready to share it with a family of her very own.

Jessie may be in her golden years, but her heart is as big as ever. She's traded puppy mischief for companionship, loyalty, and an appreciation for lifes simple pleasures: a leisurely walk, a comfy bed, a gentle scratch behind the ears, and spending time with the people she loves.

There is something incredibly special about senior dogs. They know how to love deeply, appreciate every kindness, and make every day brighter just by being there. Jessie is't looking for perfection, just a home where she can be cherished, spoiled, and loved for the wonderful dog she is. If you've ever considered adopting a senior, Jessie would love the chance to show you why these dogs are truly treasures. She has so much love left to give and deserves a soft landing where she can enjoy all the comfort and happiness she's earned.

Jessie was surrendered to the Los Banos Animal Shelter when her guardian was no longer able to provide the care she needed.

We would love to welcome Jessie into the POMDR pack, but before we can pull her from the shelter, we need to secure a foster who is committed to caring for her until she finds her forever home.

Tofu is a spirited young Frenchie, complete with American Kennel Club paperwork. at 11 months old, he's got some puppy spunk still, but he also knows how to settle when it's time to relax. At approximately 30lbs, he's heft and strong, but he has infinite love to give.

Tofu is house trained, walks well on leash, and knows basic commands - and he hasn't even had his first birthday yet! He gets along well with other dogs and people, though he's still learning his strength and could use supervision around small children. He is also good with cats!

Because Tofu's adoring family can no longer care for him, he is joining the POMDR family. Help make sure that Tofu spends his first birthday in a loving home!

Tofu is joining POMDR on 07/01/2026 and is hoping to go straight to a loving foster immediately!

Meet Gumdrop, the sweetest little treat you'll ever meet! This adorable English Bulldog is all about love, snuggles, and soaking up every bit of attention she can get. She has the softest heart and will happily curl up next to you for naps, belly rubs, and lazy afternoons. But don't be fooled -- this sweet girl has a lot of energy and would love an active household!

Gumdrop does great with other dogs and loves having canine friends to hang out with. She would prefer a home without cats (she thinks they're just too mysterious!). If you're looking for a loyal, cuddly companion who will fill your days with joy, love, and bulldog charm, Gumdrop is your girl!

Gumdrop joined us from Contra Costa Animal Services.

Sweet Gumdrop is currently boarding at our vet clinic. While she was adopted for some time, her adopter passed away suddenly leaving Gumdrop searching for her next landing spot. Can she stay with you?

Meet Bogart, a true classic gentleman! Just like his namesake, Humphrey Bogart, our Bogart has timeless charm, soulful eyes, and a quiet presence that makes you want to stay awhile. This handsome senior lad spent the last 10 years as the devoted companion to his beloved guardian, faithfully by her side through every chapter of life. Sadly, after her recent passing, Bogart has found himself searching for a new place and person to call home.

Despite the heartbreak and huge transition, Bogart remains what he has always been: a kind, happy, easygoing gentleman. He loves being close to his people, enjoys leisurely walks, and still lights up when it's time to head outside. He walks beautifully on leash and is wonderful company for neighborhood strolls or peaceful mornings in the yard.

Bogart gets along well with other dogs and even kitties. He isn't looking for chaos or adventure these days, just comfort, kindness, and someone to share life's quieter moments.

Sweet senior Bogart joined us after his guardian passed and he found himself searching for his forever landing spot.

Bogart is currently in a foster home and searching for a new one! He's still adjusting to life without his person so he'd love another pal to keep his mind occupied during this transition time. Can he stay with you?

Aged to Perfection - $25 Adoption Fee - Meet Mimi! This sweet senior sweetheart is proof that the best things in life get even better with age. You could bring home a loving companion who is equal parts cuddle bug, couch potato, walking buddy, and social butterfly!

Mimi absolutely loves snuggling, rolling around on the couch, making new friends, and soaking up all the attention she can get. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and greets everyone she meets with a wag and a smile. New friends are the best!

Looking for a walking buddy or a Netflix companion? Mimi is up for whatever you have in store. Her foster describes her as a total social butterfly who loves being part of the action. She does great on walks and is a smarty-pants, figuring out new routines in her foster home in no time. Mimi has come such a long way since leaving the shelter, and we can't wait to see how her spunky, playful personality continues to blossom in a forever home.

Mimi joined us from the Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter. They reached out to POMDR after deciding she would do best in a senior focused rescue.

Mimi is currently cozied up in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary foster while they are out of town. She'd love nothing more than to snuggle up into your loving foster home! Can she stay with you?

Meet Doc Ricketts. Named after Ed Ricketts, our brilliant and compassionate local marine biologist who inspired characters in the stories of John Steinbeck. Like his namesake, there's something deeply soulful about our boy Ricketts.

Doc Ricketts was found as a stray alongside his brother, both in heartbreaking condition. His small body was weak, his coat painfully tangled, and his eyes clouded with discharge and fatigue. He looked like a dog who had known far too little kindness in his life.

Despite what he has been through, Doc Ricketts absolutely loves people, dogs, and even cats. He greets everyone with quiet sweetness and has shown himself to be wonderfully social and accepting. Though he appears to be nearly blind and occasionally bumps into things or struggles with stairs until he adjusts, he truly enjoys going on walks and exploring the outdoors.

Doc Ricketts' ideal home would be with someone patient and compassionate who understands the needs of a visually impaired senior dog. He needs a family willing to help him navigate the world, keep him engaged, and most importantly, remind him every single day that he is loved. After a difficult life, this sweet boy deserves nothing less than comfort, kindness, and a cozy place to call his forever home.

Dear Doc Ricketts joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being brought to the shelter as a stray. Due to his neglected state, they felt he would do best in the arms of a foster home and rescue to support his needs.

Doc is searching for a temporary foster while his is out of town. If you're interested in fostering Doc for a few days, please reach out!

Meet Hawk, a distinguished senior gentleman with a heart as big as his soulful eyes. This charming fellow has perfected the art of relaxation, enjoys leisurely strolls, and gives the best gentle snuggles. He will gladly sit in your lap too!

In his foster home, Hawk loves to enjoy a lick mat and toddle around the house following his foster mom. He is truly a mellow and consistent guy! Hawk may be older, but he is wise, affectionate, and ready to bring a lifetime of calm companionship (and a little bit of mischief) to the right home. Hawk does great around other pups but would also be happy to be a solo dog, either works for him as long as pets and attention are involved!

Hawk joined POMDR after his guardian moved to assisted living and needed help finding Hawk's next forever home.

Handsome Hawk is in a loving foster home in San Jose but will be looking for a new regular foster soon. Would you like this senior gentleman as a guest in your loving home? If so, please reach out today!
