Pumkin is a 15-year-old, 30 pound Australian Shepherd. He came to us in very bad shape, and we weren't sure he'd survive. He was emaciated and had horribly rotten teeth. With medical treatment and TLC he was able to put on some weight. His rotten teeth were removed and he felt much better. Unfortunately, it was discovered that he has disc degeneration in his neck, severe arthritis and a mass growing on his shoulder. He is receiving medication to make him comfortable, but because of his poor prognosis, he will stay with his foster family in our Forever Care program. He is still a happy dog who loves to go for rides in his stroller and especially enjoys his nightly massages.

Sweet Noelle has had a difficult year. First, the woman who adopted her as a puppy passed away. They had been together for 14 years. The woman's father took in Noelle, but he also passed. Noelle was saved from going to the shelter by a friend of the father, but she was unable to keep Noelle long term. Noelle was placed in a foster home but was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She is on medication to help her heart function more efficiently, but because she will never recover from this condition, her foster family has decided to help her through her inevitable transition over the Rainbow Bridge when her time comes. In the meantime, she's enjoy her position as the most senior of the senior dogs in the family, and spends her days snoozing on warm beds and enjoying the outdoors in her special dog stroller.

Brandy is a very sweet 16-year-old Beagle/lab mix. Brandy was one of our very first POMDR dogs who came to POMDR after her elderly guardian could no longer care for her. She was dog #4! She was adopted to a senior couple who enjoyed having her in their lives. A year after adopting Brandy, Mac, one of her guardians, passed away. About five months later, her other guardian, Marie, passed away as well. Fortunately, Mac and Marie's neighbors had been helping with Brandy with walks and vet visits and one of the neighbors offered to foster her. With all Brandy had been through, we did not want to put her through one more change so she became a POMDR Forever dog. She will stay in her current loving foster home where she is comfortable and things are familiar, with POMDR covering her medical expenses for the rest of her days.

Snoopy is a 14 year old, Long Hair Dachshund. He came to us when his senior guardian could no longer care for him. He has several medical issues that needed attention. Because of his complicated medical issues he will live out his life in his foster home. His guardian is sponsoring some of his medical expenses and she is getting regular updates from his foster family which is very comforting to her.

Maggie is a 13 year old, 6 pound female Chihuahua brought to Monterey County Animal Services along with 2 other senior dogs after her owner surrendered them to animal control. Maggie was very shy and under socialized when she came to us. After several months in foster care, she was adopted, but returned shortly after adoption due to her extreme shyness. After being up for adoption for 10 months, it was determined that another move would be too hard on her. She has settled into a nice routine in her foster home and at her age, we don't want her to go through any more trauma. Maggie will live out the rest of her life in foster care.
