Boss is totally boss. He is ridiculously friendly and affectionate. He is a "crawl in your lap" kind of dog. He is good company and so easy to fall in love with. He is good with other dogs but is over excited and pulls to meet dogs while on leash. He is content living with other dogs but if he can receive all the attention of his people, he'd be so happy. He would do best with a doggie door and access to a yard.

Matilda, aka Molly, doesn't wear a watch, but you wouldn't know that the way she keeps to a schedule. A walk at this time. A meal at that time. Cuddling with you at another time. These are all part of Matilda's plan to live her best life, and she doesn't want to miss a thing.

She enjoys the company of adults and would prefer to be the only doggie in the house so she can get all the attention, all the time. Matilda wants to be the center of your world, and in return she'll happily place you in the center of hers. She'll go with you anywhere, by car or on foot, and if you leave her behind you're likely to hear a few barks of defiance letting you know you forgot something important. She shines best as an only dog, so she should be in a home without any other furry siblings. A retired person or someone who works from home would be a great fit for this senior gal.

She is a great walking companion and is amazing when meeting dogs and cats, either on a walk or in the home.

This unconventional beauty is our goofy, darling Rebecca. With her shortish, freckled legs, copper eyes, and gorgeous brindle coat, Rebecca turns more than a few heads.

Four years ago, Rebecca was a homeless dog on the streets of Mexico, unspayed and abandoned. A rescue mission intervened and brought her to safety. When the animal sanctuary where she was placed closed, POMDR stepped in to take Rebecca. She had ruptured the ligaments in her knees so POMDR funded a series of surgeries to fix her knees.

Zoe was adopted by a wonderful couple who adored her. Several months after adoption, Zoe instigated a doggie brawl with a neighbor's dog. The neighbor, in a moment of panic, hit Zoe several times with a golf club. She was rushed to the emergency clinic and underwent brain surgery to remove bone from her brain.

The family did all they could to help her recover. Unfortunately, since the attack, she suffered from a few seizures. She is now on affordable, daily medication to control these and hasn't experienced any more since being medicated. We were contacted by her family and after dealing with Zoe's special needs for over a year, they are unable to continue. They have a three year old child, who Zoe is wonderful with, and a senior mother who tripped over Zoe, so caring for everyone became too much. Zoe is in need of a new home.

Hi, I'm Jersey! And I am looking for my forever home with the help of POMDR. I am currently living with my foster parent and we are on a good schedule that I like a lot. I wake up in the morning in my crate where I sleep most of the time (although I get to spend the weekend nights on my pillow bed). Then I go outside and come in and have my breakfast in my special slow chow bowl. After that I hang out for pets with my foster parent a bit before they leave for work. Then I get my kong stuffed with healthy snacks that I work on for a while. I stay home alone during the day while my foster parent is at work.
