Say hello to Sadie, a lovely retired service dog who is ready to trade in her working days for a life of naps, cuddles, and simple joys. At her heart, Sadie is the definition of mellow.

Sadie may be retired, but shes still got one very important job left: being the most loyal, loving friend you could ask for!

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.

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.

This sweet chunk of love has a heart as big as his smile and a tail that never stops wagging. Daffodylan is a champion snuggler, a professional napper, and always ready to brighten your day with his cheerful personality. He encompasses all the delightful chihuahua attributes: 100% happy-go-lucky, smart, loyal, goofy, wiggly, and instant best friend.

Daffodylan is friendly with everyone, including people of all ages, other dogs of all shapes and sizes, and cats. He adores pettings, belly rubs, and cuddles on the couch. In short, this pal is grateful for attention from anyone who will spend time with him. He walks well on leash and appreciates a solid exercise routine as he could shed a few pounds to get back into tip-top shape. For his weight-loss journey, Mr. DD is looking for supportive humans who will supply small, healthy meals and just a couple of well-timed treats each day.

Magnificent Mihla is a sweetheart with lots of love to give! She has these mesmerizing eyes full of wonder and adorable floppy ears that really make her stand out. 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.
