Baguette is a sweet Chihuahua mix who may be small, but her spirit is immeasurable. This petite lady was rescued at the very last moment from an overcrowded shelter where she was at risk simply because there wasn't enough space. We knew she deserved so much more, and we couldn't wait to bring her into our program!

Despite everything she's been through, Baguette is gentle, affectionate, and grateful for every kindness. She bonds quickly with her people and loves to curl up in a cozy bed or snuggle beside you on the couch. She's an easygoing companion, content to take short strolls or simply enjoy a sunny spot by your side. Baguette does well with other calm dogs and would be happiest in a quieter home where she can feel safe and loved. She's past the puppy antics and ready for a life of comfort and security.

Baguette joined us from the Kern County Animal Shelter.

Marvelous Baguette is currently in the arms of a loving foster home but this home is not able to hold on to her long-term. She is looking to move into a more long-term foster spot once one is found for her. She promises to be an easy keeper and provide lots of love in her next home.

Agatha may be a senior, but her heart is as full of love as ever. This precious girl has endured more than her fair share of hardship. Found as a stray in heartbreaking condition, she was severely overweight, matted, and unable to stand. Her body was neglected, but not her spirit. Despite all this, Agatha has shown nothing but gentleness and love. She's calm, affectionate, and has a quiet strength that shines through. With the help of our veterinary team, she's now cleaned up, more comfortable, and already feeling better. What she needs now is a soft place to land -- a warm home, a gentle routine, and someone who will love her for the incredible girl she is.

Agatha is great with other dogs and thrives on quiet companionship. She enjoys short strolls and cozy naps. Because of her heart condition, she'll need a calm lifestyle with limited exercise and weight loss support, all of which she handles like a pro.

Agatha joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was picked up as a stray in this neglectful state. Her guardians were found, but sadly they surrendered her to the shelter because they were unable to meet her medical needs.

Ready to give Agatha the comfort, dignity, and love she deserves? Agatha can't wait to meet you! Come be her hero. She's already won our hearts- now she's ready to win yours.

Sweet, mellow Violet is just looking for a quiet retirement home where she can lay her head. Violet landed at a busy shelter in the Sacramento area, matted beyond belief and so scared. We're happy to have her join us here at POMDR for a soft transition before finding her forever family. Could that be you?

Violet gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children! She might have a little vision loss, but still gets around well. She enjoys lounging in a warm dog bed and being by her person's side. We think she would make a great addition to any calm and loving home.

Smiley Koda is a large bundle of energy and love! He is a young gentleman with a heart of gold, interested in long walks (or runs!), and is looking for his forever adventure buddy! This handsome boy would be a perfect fit for someone who is looking for a young energetic dog who enjoys exercise and lots of affection and love!

Koda sits on command and could benefit from a loving, patient, and understanding guardian to teach him other basic commands and how to politely walk on leash. He gets along with other dogs but does tend to bark at them when he is out on walks to let them know he wants to play. Koda would not be a good fit in a home that has cats or children.

Koda came to us after his senior guardian passed away.

Koda is a strong and sensitive pup who can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly, especially if you have treats! He's currently doing well in his foster home and has shown himself to be a sweet and loyal companion.

Koda does have one incident in his past where he bit a stranger who startled him by suddenly entering his space after a stressful vet visit. This behavior was out of character and seems to have been entirely situational. Because of this, we're looking for a foster who can be a strong advocate for Koda. Someone who understands dog body language, is mindful of his boundaries, and can help set him up for success. Koda would do best in a home without cats or kids.

If you'd like to see videos of Koda in his current foster home or have any questions about his behavior, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]

Maxim came to us after his former guardian was no longer able to care for him.

Fern is looking for a home that will give her lots of exercise - a couple of runs daily would be ideal. If you are looking for a running or hiking buddy, Fern would love to be your gal.

Fern has an active mind. She is learning the difference between what she is allowed to play with and what is off limits. She is very good at entertaining herself by dragging large dog beds around the house. She loves other dogs, and she is intrigued by cats, but doesn't hurt them.

People outside of her usual pack are scary. She is skittish in places she doesn't know and jumps at sudden sounds. She currently lives in a remote area and will likely adjust once she has more positive experiences.

Fern was found as a stray in a rural area of Monterey County, and sadly no one came looking for her. We can't wait for this beautiful girl to bond with her people and blossom in time!

Fern is currently in a loving and active foster home and she is just looking for a temporary spot while they are out of town. If you are looking for a four-legged running buddy, do not look any further, Fern is your girl! Please keep in mind that Fern is very skittish around new people and may take a bit to warm up to you. However, once she knows you, she will love you with all of her heart!
