Meet Spork. yes, like the world's most versatile utensil, because 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). At around 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, shes got plenty of pep in her step when it's time for a walk or a snack run!

Sporks ideal day includes a leisurely stroll, a soft blanket, and a human willing to admire her underbite and call her the cutest thing ever at least five times a day (non-negotiable). She is the kind of pup who will make you laugh with her quirks and melt your heart with her snorts. If you have been searching for a tiny, fluffy comedian to share your couch and your heart, Spork is ready to serve up joy with a side of adorable attitude!

Sweet Spork joins us from the San Jose Animal Care Center and Services who thought she'd shine best with a senior focused rescue.

Spork is such a darling girl who has been through so much. We would love for her to go straight to a foster home once she joins us from the shelter. If you are interested in hosting Spork please let us know!

Meet Phoenix, a brave little soul who truly lives up to his name. This resilient boy has risen from the ashes of a heartbreaking past and is now ready to embrace the love and care he's always deserved. Phoenix was found in a parking lot in Salinas, his fur so matted he could barely see and his tiny body struggling to breathe. It seemed he had almost given up hope, but thanks to compassionate rescuers and the incredible shelter clinic team, his story took a beautiful turn. After being shaved, bathed, and given fluids and nutrition, Phoenix began his journey toward healing, and our team was honored to welcome him into our program once he was stable.

Though he still has a few medical hurdles to overcome, Phoenix is thriving with a new lease on life. He adores the company of dogs big and small, finds joy in every gentle moment, and will happily follow anyone who offers a tasty treat. Watching Phoenix rediscover the world with hope in his eyes is nothing short of inspiring. This sweet survivor is proof that love truly heals all wounds.

Sweet Phoenix came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services, the team who originally rescued this sweetheart.

Phoenix is looking for a foster who is comfortable with administering daily moderate medical care. Ideally, the foster home would also be located close to our Monterey vet clinic, where he will need frequent checks to make sure his health continues to progress in a positive direction.

Sam will be joining the POMDR pack sometime around 11/5 and will be ready to land in a loving foster home shortly after that. Can he stay with you?

This handsome guy has that classic Boxer charm! That goofy grin, wiggly body, and a joyful spirit that shines through no matter what. At this stage in life, Chester knows who he is: a friendly, easygoing dog who loves people, gets along great with other dogs, and isn't afraid to march to the beat of his own drum. He enjoys doing his own thing, whether that's lounging in the sunshine, exploring the yard, or showing off his silly side just to make you smile.

Chester does have a few medical needs, but don't let that worry you, our vet team is ready to get Chester feeling his best. If you're looking for a loyal friend who'll make you laugh and love you unconditionally, Chester's your guy!

Chester joins us from the SPCA Monterey County after his guardian was no longer able to care for him. Due to his senior status and his medical need, they felt he would do best in a rescue setting to find his next family.

Chester is looking to secure a loving foster home before he can join the POMDR pack. Can he stay with you? Once a foster committed to seeing him through adoption is secured, we will make arrangements to bring his sweet boy over from the shelter.

He's wonderfully sweet and loving with everyone he meets, and he gets along beautifully with other dogs.

Barley is a gentle, easygoing soul who gets along beautifully with other dogs and enjoys quiet strolls, soft beds, and the company of good friends.

This sweet autumn spirit is a bright ray of sunshine on even the gloomiest days of fall. Leaf is a happy-go-lucky girl who loves cuddling up on the couch with you and she will keep you warmer than any cozy blanket on a crisp November afternoon. When she has recharged after a good nap, she enjoys long, fast-paced walks, extensive yard explorations, and chasing squirrels. She gets along perfectly with other dogs, but is looking for a feline-free home. Providing personal space is not always her strong suit as she likes to know what's going on with everyone in the household.

Leaf is very loving, super loyal. and ready to be right by your side while you sip a cup of cider and watch the foliage change colors outside your window. She is the best and most cheerful little companion that anyone could ever ask for and she is more than ready to meet her forever family. Be-Leaf is her motto!

Lovely Leaf joined POMDR from San Jose Animal Care and Services after she was picked up as a stray.

Leaf-girl joined the POMDR pack on 10/22 and is currently cozied up at our Monterey Clinic awaiting her foster or forever family. Could you be her person?

Say hello to Toffee, a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix with the looks of a miniature Lab and a heart full of love (once she gets to know you!). At 25 pounds, she's the perfect size for a lap dog who still enjoys her daily walks and a bit of adventure. Toffee can be a little shy at first and may need a bit of time and patience to warm up to new people or dogs, but once she feels safe, she's all tail wags and affection. She's lived as an only dog but gets along well with canine companions when properly introduced. She's also a total pro with cats and doesn't seem bothered by them one bit.

While she's pretty indifferent to kids, she much prefers calm, quiet moments over chaos. Her energy level is moderate, she enjoys a good walk and will get excited when it's time to go out, but she's just as happy curling up next to you for some chill time. Toffee is sweet, sensitive, and just a little quirky, the kind of dog who may not jump into your arms right away but will quietly win you over with her gentle nature and soft, expressive eyes.

Adorable Toffee joined POMDR because her loving guardian could no longer give her the care she needs.

Toffee girl will be coming in for her evaluation on 11/5. If she passes, we would love for her to go straight into a loving foster home! Could that be with you?

Acorn is a smiley brown Chihuahua with a heart of gold. He's a mellow, gentle boy who loves being held and soaking up affection.

He may be a little shy at first, but his kind and loving personality shines through quickly. Acorn is the perfect little companion for anyone looking for a truly good boy to share life's cozy moments with.

Acorn joined POMDR from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found stray.

Acorn is in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary spot while his regular foster is out of town. Acorn's front leg is currently in a bandage cast because he entered the program with a broken leg, poor guy! Preferably, the temporary foster would be located in Monterey just in case Acorn needs to get his bandage changed while in temporary foster.

Chucky is a wise and wonderful little soul with a heart as big as his ears. He has embraced his golden years with grace and a touch of quirky charm. A true gentleman, Chucky is gentle, thoughtful, and independent -- the kind of dog who enjoys quiet moments, warm laps, and short strolls in the sun. He is currently thriving on prescription kidney food and doing well, proving that age is just a number when you have the right care (and the right person by your side). Chucky is not the clingy type. He enjoys companionship, but also appreciates his space. He's looking for a like-minded human, ideally someone retired, who enjoys a calm, low-key lifestyle and is looking for a loyal sidekick to share it with.

Chucky is a bit picky about his canine companions. He knows what (and who) he likes. So a home where he can either be your one-and-only or selectively socialize with mellow dogs would suit him best.

If you're someone who understands the beauty of slow mornings, shared sunsets, and quiet companionship, Chucky might just be your perfect match. Come meet this quirky little senior. He's ready to love and be loved for the rest of his days. Chucky came to POMDR because his sweet and loving guardian recently passed away.

Chucky is searching for a loving foster home to lay his head. He's proving himself to be incredibly resilient given his guardian sadly passing. He'd love to soak up the extra love and cuddles in your home. Can he stay with you? Chucky is currently in a temporary home but needs to move to a long-term foster soon.

Get your hearts ready because this gentleman is an absolute heartbreaker! Meet Sir Walter Bradbury, the most adorable and loving blind pup you have EVER met! This sweetheart gets along wonderfully with other dogs, big and small, adores children, and loves every human he meets! His favorite activity is napping in the sunshine, getting attention and going for strolls with his foster siblings. Walter is also super treat motivated and listens well to commands. He can even shake your hand, a true gentleman! We are truly baffled that darling Walter is still in our program. We know he would make the perfect addition to any family.

This sweet boy has been blind since birth and navigates his surroundings well. His family even taught him some special commands to help him get around! Walter Bradbury also has a heart condition for which he takes meds twice a day. Luckily, he takes his meds like a champ (as long as treats are inovolved, of course!)

Sir Walter Bradbury came to POMDR because his wonderfully loving family moved out of the country, and they were restricted from taking him with them.

Sir Walter Bradbury joined POMDR earlier this year and has been adored in her foster home! Unfortunately, he is needing to move foster homes. Can he stay with you?

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!
