What's not to love about a charming Dachshund? Blitzen is a friendly and social little guy. One of Blitzen's favorite pastimes is hanging out with other dogs. He's incredibly social, has excellent dog manners, and has always enjoyed making new four-legged friends. Whether it's a neighborhood stroll or hanging out with a canine companion, he's happiest when he has another dog around who speaks his language.

Like many Dachshunds, Blitzen also comes with a big personality packed into a little sausage-shaped body. He has significant resource guarding behaviors and has a bite history related to those issues. Because of this, he is looking for a very experienced Dachshund home -- someone who understands the breed, can recognize his boundaries, and is committed to managing his environment so he can be successful. He isn't a dog for first-time owners, but in the right home with knowledgeable guardians, Blitzen has tons of love and companionship to offer.

Blitzen enjoys being active but has also been quite the little escape artist in his day, so secure fencing and attentive supervision are essential. He prefers having his people nearby and would love a home where someone is around much of the time. Car rides aren't really his favorite, so he's happiest enjoying the comforts of home. He is also looking for an adults-only home who understands and respects his boundaries.

Blitzen joined POMDR after his guardian sadly fell ill and was no longer able to meet his needs.

Blitzen is searching for a Dachshund experienced home that's behavior savvy and can manage his resource guarding behavior in order to join our program. Are you up for the task? We promise Blitzen is a blast in the right home!

Meet Jackie, a spirited senior girl with a heart as big as her personality. Don't let her age fool you; this girl still has plenty of pep in her step. She does equally well with a 20 minute sniff-n-stroll around the neighborhood as with a 3 mile hike. She is no slouch on trail and keeps up a good clip when she's in the mood. Jackie is great on leash and wonderfully responsive to treats.

Jackie gets periodic zoomies and adores an interactive play session with her people. The game is dealer's choice; tug (she will graciously keep shoving your end of the toy back into your hand), chase-and-be-chase, Wrestlemania, she's up for pretty much anything. She does use her mouth in a playful way when the game is afoot but is responsive to redirection. Her house manners are impeccable, housetrained, and OK being left home alone when necessary.

Jackie's feelings about other dogs vary. She lives very well with her part time foster sister - a street-smart senior Chihuahua and is relatively indifferent to most other dogs but she doesn't suffer fools and is not a fan of big, over-eager youngins. As a general rule, she seems to prefer small dogs to dogs her own size. She would love to play with the Chihuahua in the house, but her tactile, enthusiastic play style combined with the size differential and the Chi's age make it an unrequited love.

She is surprisingly easy on leash for such a big, strong dog, but will do best with someone comfortable handling her size and strength, especially during those moments when her inner puppy emerges. Jackie was reportedly crate trained in her previous home but is never crated in her foster home and is the perfect housemate. She made an amazingly smooth transition to her foster home and is primed to do the same for her adopters. If you're looking for a loyal, lively companion who's equal parts affectionate, self-contained, and adventurous, Jackie might be your perfect match.

Jackie joined the POMDR pack because one of her loving guardians has dementia and is moving into assisted living. Sadly, they can't take her with them. This sweet, silly girl is looking for someone to swoop in, scoop her up, and show her that she has many more years of love ahead of her!

Joyful Jackie is in a loving foster home but just looking for a temporary landing spot while her foster travels later this year. Can she stay with you?

Sweet Sparkler joined us after she was found as a stray and brought to Hitchcock Road Animal Services. They felt she would do best in a senior focused rescue to find her forever family.

Sparkler is cozied up in a doggie suite at our clinic, waiting for a foster. If you are interested in fostering Sparkler please reach out to our volunteer coordinator.

Aged to Perfection - $25 Adoption Fee - Don't let her frosted gray coat fool you, this 8 year old is pure sunshine around those she loves. A copilot extraordinaire, this trusty girl loves being a passenger princess (just don't ask her to back up the trailer.) She's a wonderful walk companion and trail guide, who takes great joy in pointing out the local flora and fauna to her companions. She took up knitting while waiting for her forever home to find her, after 731+ days at it, her scarf now qualifies for a Guinness book world record but she's holding out hope!

Miss Mihla enjoys spending her time going for car rides or long walks, playing surgeon with squeaky toys, alerting her fosters about squirrels and birds that dare to cross her path, and attending training regularly to work on building up her leash manners.

This lovely lady would be ideal for a home where she can be the star and not have to share your attention but she may also fit right in with a household that has a mellow dog who doesn't mind sharing the spotlight. Due to how excited we have seen her get around prey animals we suspect she may not be ideal for a household with cats. We have not seen how she is with children.

The SPCA of Monterey County reached out to us for help because Mihla was becoming increasingly stressed in the shelter environment. She was a favorite among many volunteers who worked with her there, so how could we resist?

Mihla is looking for a temp foster when her long term foster will be out of town. Miss Mihla would need to be the only dog in the home.

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.
