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

Nana is looking for a loving landing spot in order for us to welcome her into the POMDR family.

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]

Say hello to Hopper, a young, spirited Frenchie with a heart full of love and a bounce (soon to return!) in his step. This little guy was found as a stray and brought to the shelter with a broken leg, but don't let that fool you- he's already dreaming of zoomies, toys, and belly rubs galore! Hopper is the perfect mix of goofy charm and boundless energy. Even while healing, he's got that signature Frenchie charm: curious, playful, and always eager to be in the middle of the action. He'll need a bit of TLC and a safe, calm environment as he recovers- but once he's back on all fours, he'll be ready to take on the world by your side!

Dapper Hopper joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray. He joins the POMDR crew needing additional medical support before finding his forever family.
