Meet Hubba Bubba, a sweet senior pittie gentleman with a heart as big as his adorable, wide set eyes. Hubba Bubba is the kind of dog who makes you smile the second you see him, his eyes are set way far apart, giving him a permanently surprised (and impossibly charming) expression that only adds to his appeal. Dont let that goofy look fool you though; this boy is a total gentleman. He is polite with other pups, knows how to mind his manners, and carries himself like the distinguished older fellow he is.

As a senior, Hubba Bubba is past the wild puppy antics and much more interested in the finer things in life: comfy beds, leisurely strolls, and soaking up love from his people. He is a very good boy who is ready to settle into a cozy home where he can enjoy his golden years being adored exactly as he deserves. If you are looking for a lovable, low key companion with character for days and eyes you will never forget, Hubba Bubba is your guy.

Handsome Hubba Bubba joins us from the Hitchcock Road Animal Services.

Great news, Hubba Bubba has passed our intake evaluation and is ready for the next step! Because he is a Pittie/larger dog than we normally bring in, we do need a committed foster home lined up through adoption before we can pull him from the shelter.

Hubba Bubba is a sweet senior gentleman who deserves a soft place to land and a foster stepping forward would make all the difference in getting him out and on his way to a forever home. If you are able to open your home (and heart) to this very good boy, please reach out! Help us help Hubba Bubba :)

Step right up and meet Gypsy, our enchanting little lady with the most brilliant blue eyes that look straight into your soul. One glance and you might swear she's about to tell you your future, and spoiler alert, it's full of love, laughter, and bulldog snuggles.

Gypsy is as charming as she is magical. She's wonderful with other dogs, adores people, and has a signature move that wins hearts instantly: she'll gently offer you her paw as her way of saying "I love you." It's impossible not to fall under her spell. With her whimsical personality and mystical gaze, Gypsy is the kind of dog who turns everyday moments into something special.

Sweet Gypsy joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. Due to her senior status and their over full shelter, she joins the POMDR family to find her loving forever home.

Say hello to Tamagotchi! He's just about he happiest little Chihuahua you'll ever meet! Just like the beloved '90s toy he's named after, this tiny guy is full of life, personality, and joy. When Tamagotchi sees people, his whole body lights up- tail wagging, wiggle mode activated, and smiles guaranteed all around.

Tamagotchi is the kind of dog who can't help but make you smile. He's incredibly sweet, affectionate, and clearly loves being around humans. He does well with other dogs, though right now he can be a bit over-the-top excited- we expect this enthusiasm to settle nicely once he's neutered through our program.

Tamagotchi joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. Due to his senior status, they felt he would do best in a senior focused rescue.

Tamagotchi is looking for a loving foster home to call his own. He does well with other dogs but he is not yet neutered. We will take care of this through our program but because of this, he becomes quite overly excited by new friends. He may do best as an only dog at least until neutered.

Betty Spaghetty is a sweet young girl with a heart as big as they come. She landed at the shelter after a very rough start, arriving severely matted with painful foxtails tangled in her coat and injuries to both of her eyes. Thanks to gentle care and medical treatment, Betty is feeling much better and showing everyone the happy, loving pup she truly is.

Despite everything she's been through, Betty's spirit shines. She's affectionate, eager to please, and loves soft beds, kind voices, and little moments of attention. This curly cutie is still young and ready to learn, and she'll thrive with a patient family who can continue her grooming routine and give her the comfort she's been missing.

This resilient little lady joined us from the Sacramento Bradshaw Animal Shelter. She was found as a stray in horrific shape. Due to her urgent medical needs, they needed rescue placement for her, so she found her way into the POMDR pack.

Betty would love a family to call her own or even a temporary landing spot in foster while she awaits her forever family. Can she stay with you? She will need a few procedures and visits to our Monterey vet clinic.

Meet Shotzi, a tiny girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. At 12 years young and just 8 pounds, Shotzi is a sweet, gentle soul who has spent the last decade being deeply loved. She adores meeting new people, is wonderful with kids, and happily ignores cats. With other dogs, she is the most comfortable around fellow small pups. Shotzi walks nicely on leash, knows her basic commands, and loves to snuggle beside her people.

As a senior lady, Shotzis idea of a perfect day includes cozy naps, warm laps, and lots of snuggles. She can be a bit anxious when left alone, classic Chihuahua shakes included. She would thrive in a calm, loving home where someone is around often and understands that seniors sometimes need a little extra patience. In return, Shotzi offers endless affection, devotion, and the kind of quiet companionship that only a well loved senior dog can give. If you are looking for a loyal little shadow to share your heart and your couch, Shotzi may be your perfect match.

Shotzi joined POMDR after her guardian moved to assisted living and was unable to bring her with them.

Shotzi is looking to join POMDR but will need to secure a patient and loving foster home that is around often and can commit to hosting her through adoption as she can be quite anxious when left alone. If you are a homebody looking for a little shadow please reach out!

Like her namesake from Peter Pan, Nana is the picture of loyalty and love. This sweet senior has a gentle, caretaker's heart. She bonds deeply with her people and will happily be your steady, loving shadow.

Nana would prefer to join a home with stability and predictability. She can be a bit confused by new people entering the home. She is hoping for a patient, understanding home that will give her comfort, routine, and reassurance when she needs it. In return, she'll give you unconditional love and a calm, devoted companionship that only a senior dog can offer.

Independent as well as affectionate, Nana is just as content to nap on the porch or lounge in the yard as she is to enjoy a car ride or a slow stroll. She walks beautifully on leash and loves to take in the world at her own pace.

Sweet Nana joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray.

Nana is currently in the arms of a loving foster but unfortunately, they are not able to foster her long-term. She's searching for another loving landing spot to call her own. Are you interested in giving Nana a safe place to land while she finds her forever home? If so, please reach out today!

Rocco doesn't let this slow him down emotionally; his happy spirit and loving personality shine through every day.

Sweet Rocco joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after he was found as a stray. He joined POMDR due to his medical needs and the space limitations at the shelter.

Rocco is searching for a loving foster home that can support him along his medical journey. We're not certain what Rocco's plan is quite yet but we imagine he will need frequent visits to our Monterey vet clinic so close proximity or ability to make his appointments is a must for Rocco's foster.

Meet Miss Marley, the bravest little heart you'll ever love. Marley is a soft spirit with a story that shows just how resilient dogs can be. When she first arrived at the shelter, her nails were so overgrown they curled into her feet, a sign that she hadn't known proper care or comfort for far too long. It's believed she experienced some trauma or neglect in her past, and she carries a bit of understandable caution because of it. Despite all of this, Marley has blossomed and continues to do so.

Once she realizes she's safe, her whole face lights up, and she greets you with full body wiggles. She just asks for a little warm-up time and a kind, patient heart to help her feel secure. In return, she offers gentle companionship, quiet loyalty, and the sweetest little snuggles. Marley would prefer to be the only apple of someone's eye and may do best in an adult only home (or a home with patient and understanding older kids).

Marley joined us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services. She was adopted from there as a younger dog and surrendered back recently in concerning condition. Due to her age and clear traumas, they felt she would do best in the loving arms of a foster home while she waits for her forever family.

Miss Marley is in a loving foster home but she will need to move soon. If you have a quiet home where Marley can warm up to you in time, please reach out today!

Ajay is a lovable senior sweetheart with a gentle spirit and so much love left to give. He enjoys the simple pleasures, quiet walks, cozy naps, and being close to his people. Ajay has a calm presence and would thrive in a home where he can settle in, feel safe, and be cherished during his golden years.

As a senior dog, Ajay is looking for an adopter who understands the value of patience, comfort, and companionship. He may do best in a calm environment with a predictable routine and someone who can be home with him more often.

If you are ready to open your heart to a devoted companion who will reward you with unconditional love and gratitude, Ajay would be honored to be by your side.

Ajay joined POMDR after his guardian reached out for placement when they were no longer able to care for him.

This sweet pup is looking for a dedicated foster home that can provide structure, patience, and understanding. He can become anxious when left alone for long periods of time and may be dealing with separation anxiety, so a foster who is home most of the day or able to manage alone time carefully would be ideal.

An experienced foster who is comfortable working through anxiety related behaviors and providing consistent routines will help him be successful. Support and guidance will be provided, he just needs the right environment to thrive.

If you have the time, space, and heart to help a dog who needs a little extra support, this could be an incredibly rewarding foster experience.

Say hello to Clove, a snuggly sweetheart who's as warm and comforting as his name suggests. With his soft coat and tender heart, Clove is the perfect little companion to snuggle up with on a chilly autumn evening.

He's gentle, affectionate, and always ready to share a cozy moment, whether it's watching the leaves fall outside or taking a peaceful walk through the neighborhood. Clove's favorite thing in the world is simply being near his person, soaking up love and giving it right back. This sweet boy is patiently waiting for his forever home, but in the meantime, he's hoping to find a special fall friend to share the season's simple joys. Could that be you?

Just like the world's most versatile utensil, this little lady truly does it all: she is part sweet spoon (all cuddles and snuggles) and part sassy fork (with opinions about when dinner should be served). Now in her golden years, Spork has perfected the art of napping, people watching, and politely judging other dogs' fashion choices from her cozy bed. Don't let her age fool you -- she's got plenty of pep in her step when it's time for a walk or a snack run! Spork's ideal day includes a leisurely stroll through the yard, a soft blanket in her bed, and a human who will exclaim that she is 'the cutest thing ever' at least five times a day (non-negotiable). She is the kind of pup who will make you laugh about her quirky displays and melt your heart with her irresistible gaze. Spork is great with dogs, cats and kids!

If you have been searching for a perfectly-sized, silky-soft, and charming comedian to share your couch and your heart with, Spork is ready to serve up joy with a side of adorable attitude! Extra bonus: she gets along splendidly with other dogs, with cats, and gentle children. While overall in good shape, she will require daily prescription eye-drops and medication for Cushing's disease. Since joining POMDR, she has been receiving all the medical care and TLC she needed and is feeling much better than when she first arrived.

Sweet Spork joined us from San Jose Animal Care Center and Services, who thought she would shine best in a senior-focused rescue.

Spork is such a darling girl who has been through so much. If you are interested in hosting Spork please let us know!

Looking for that special someone who makes you feel like you're the most wonderful being on the planet, warms your heart, and keeps you laughing? Let us introduce you to Newt-ie-Tootie (or as his foster calls him, Pete Davidson!) When out meeting and greeting his fans on walks, Newt is constantly swooned over and called "the sweetest dog". However, you'll want to be sure to keep a good hold of the leash in case a squirrel or bird or leaf blows by as Newt's enthusiasm for a good chase and good fun knows no bounds. If you've watched episodes of "Saturday Night Live" showcasing our dear friend, Pete Davidson, rap, well, Newt can bust out some pretty rockin' tunes, too. However, Newt does his soulful renditions of love songs when you are away. Car ride? Visit to the feed store to load up on more snacks? You bet - Newt is your guy! This guy figured out that it's the simple pleasures that bring joy: several walkies a day, lots of "together time", and relaxing moments lounging in the yard in a sunny spot.

While Newt did come to us with some hair loss, medicated baths, good food, allergy meds, and fish oil supplements are doing wonders for his coat and skin. We can't wait to see his continue to blossom in his new furever home. Apply to adopt Newt today!

Newt joined us from the SPCA of Monterey County, where they found he needed a more senior specific audience to find his forever family.

Sweet little Newt is in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary spot to land while they are out of town. Do you have space for this little guy in your home and heart?
