He's small, he's sweet, and he's definitely got some personality. Pumba is ready to find his very own hakuna matata!

Pumba comes to us from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento after being found as a stray.

Pumba will be joining the POMDR pack on 8/11 and would love to go straight to a foster home! Can he stay with you?

Woody is one revved-up little Terrier mix who is always ready to hit the road and see where the day takes him! This handsome guy is a busybody in the very best way! He loves having places to go, things to sniff, and important neighborhood business to attend to. He's excellent on leash and absolutely loves a good sniff around the block. With Woody along for the ride, you'll never have to wonder what's happening in the neighborhood!

He's also fantastic with other dogs, making him a great little cruising companion for canine friends. And while he's always on the go, Woody definitely knows how to shift gears. Once the exploring is done, he's happy to park himself next to his person for some sweet snuggles and affection. Woody came to the shelter in pretty rough shape, severely matted and neglected. But this little guy hasn't let a few potholes along the way dampen his spirits.

Introducing Skylark, a little classic with a big personality and a heart full of potential. This adorable Chihuahua mix may be small, but she's got the kind of charm that turns heads wherever she goes. Named after the iconic Buick Skylark, she's a vintage beauty who's ready to leave the past behind and cruise into a new chapter.

Her next stop? A forever home where she'll be loved, spoiled, and treated like the priceless classic she is.

Say hello to Tamagotchi! He's just about he happiest little Chihuahua you'll ever meet! Just like the beloved '90s toy he's named after, this tiny guy is full of life, personality, and joy. When Tamagotchi sees people, his whole body lights up: tail wagging, wiggle mode activated, and smiles guaranteed all around.

Tamagotchi is incredibly sweet and affectionate, and clearly loves being around humans. He does well with other dogs, though right now he can be a bit over-the-top excited. We expect this enthusiasm to settle nicely once he's neutered through our program.

Tamagotchi joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. Due to his senior status, they felt he would do best in a senior focused rescue.

What's not to love about a charming Dachshund? Blitzen is a friendly and social little guy. One of Blitzen's favorite pastimes is hanging out with other dogs. He's incredibly social, has excellent dog manners, and has always enjoyed making new four-legged friends. Whether it's a neighborhood stroll or hanging out with a canine companion, he's happiest when he has another dog around who speaks his language.

Like many Dachshunds, Blitzen also comes with a big personality packed into a little sausage-shaped body. He has significant resource guarding behaviors and has a bite history related to those issues. Because of this, he is looking for a very experienced Dachshund home -- someone who understands the breed, can recognize his boundaries, and is committed to managing his environment so he can be successful. He isn't a dog for first-time owners, but in the right home with knowledgeable guardians, Blitzen has tons of love and companionship to offer.

Blitzen enjoys being active but has also been quite the little escape artist in his day, so secure fencing and attentive supervision are essential. He prefers having his people nearby and would love a home where someone is around much of the time. Car rides aren't really his favorite, so he's happiest enjoying the comforts of home. He is also looking for an adults-only home who understands and respects his boundaries.

Blitzen joined POMDR after his guardian sadly fell ill and was no longer able to meet his needs.

Blitzen is searching for a Dachshund experienced home that's behavior savvy and can manage his resource guarding behavior in order to join our program. Are you up for the task? We promise Blitzen is a blast in the right home!

Meet Jackie, a spirited senior girl with a heart as big as her personality. Don't let her age fool you; this girl still has plenty of pep in her step. She does equally well with a 20 minute sniff-n-stroll around the neighborhood as with a 3 mile hike. She is no slouch on trail and keeps up a good clip when she's in the mood. Jackie is great on leash and wonderfully responsive to treats.

Jackie gets periodic zoomies and adores an interactive play session with her people. The game is dealer's choice; tug (she will graciously keep shoving your end of the toy back into your hand), chase-and-be-chase, Wrestlemania, she's up for pretty much anything. She does use her mouth in a playful way when the game is afoot but is responsive to redirection. Her house manners are impeccable, housetrained, and OK being left home alone when necessary.

Jackie's feelings about other dogs vary. She lives very well with her part time foster sister - a street-smart senior Chihuahua and is relatively indifferent to most other dogs but she doesn't suffer fools and is not a fan of big, over-eager youngins. As a general rule, she seems to prefer small dogs to dogs her own size. She would love to play with the Chihuahua in the house, but her tactile, enthusiastic play style combined with the size differential and the Chi's age make it an unrequited love.

She is surprisingly easy on leash for such a big, strong dog, but will do best with someone comfortable handling her size and strength, especially during those moments when her inner puppy emerges. Jackie was reportedly crate trained in her previous home but is never crated in her foster home and is the perfect housemate. She made an amazingly smooth transition to her foster home and is primed to do the same for her adopters. If you're looking for a loyal, lively companion who's equal parts affectionate, self-contained, and adventurous, Jackie might be your perfect match.

Jackie joined the POMDR pack because one of her loving guardians has dementia and is moving into assisted living. Sadly, they can't take her with them. This sweet, silly girl is looking for someone to swoop in, scoop her up, and show her that she has many more years of love ahead of her!

Joyful Jackie is in a loving foster home but just looking for a temporary landing spot while her foster travels later this year. Can she stay with you?

Meet Sparkler! Just like a warm summer evening filled with laughter, ice cream, and a little bit of magic in the air, Sparkler has a way of making everything around her feel a little brighter. Sparkler is easygoing, affectionate, and happy to take life at a gentle pace.

Sparkler gets along well with other dogs and brings a calm, friendly presence wherever she goes. With her fluffy coat, darling face, and soft, soulful eyes, she's impossible not to fall in love with.

Sweet Sparkler joined us after she was found as a stray and brought to Hitchcock Road Animal Services. They felt she would do best in a senior focused rescue to find her forever family.

Sparkler is in a loving foster home and just needs a place to stay while they're out of town. Can she stay with you?

Mister Winkle got his moniker from the sheer amount of hours he logged sleeping upon his arrival to our rescue. All that beauty sleep really paid off as he now happily toddles about the house, pretending he's Goldilocks, trying out every bed before settling in for a full nights sleep. Don't let this sweet little face fool you, he's nine pounds of pure perseverance and tougher than a two dollar steak, having successfully recovered from a few health setbacks over his illustrious decade of life. (Who needs teeth with a smile like that, anyways? He's very happy with his soft meals and treats.) His Cataracts don't slow down his exploring or ability to find his parents for snuggles either. Wink would also like you to know that he is a fiscally responsible fellow and has a retirement savings account of $1,500 to help offset any future vet care costs that may arise as he peacefully enjoys his sunset years by your side.

Winkle had severe dental disease when he came to POMDR and had to have all his teeth removed. He enjoys soft food at mealtime and soft treats throughout the day. Winkle has cataracts but he finds his way around the house and yard very well. Winkle had an anal sac tumor removed recently. We are hopeful that he has many more months or years ahead of him. Because of his medical situation, POMDR is offering his adopter a $1500 stipend for medical expenses.

Winkle came to POMDR from another rescue group when they discovered that his medical needs were more than they could handle. Senior dogs like Winkle with minor senior-related issues are our specialty so we were happy to bring him into our program.

Winkle is cozied up in a loving foster home and just needs a place to stay temporarily while they are out of town. Could he stay with you?

Meet Yankee Candle, a distinguished senior Pomeranian with enough fluff to make a pillow jealous. Yankee Candle has mastered the art of the leisurely stroll, the power nap, and supervising snack time like a true connoisseur.

Think of him as a living, breathing, four-legged scented candle: comforting, charming, and impossible to ignore.

Yankee Candle is looking for a forever home where he can retire in comfort and style. He dreams of a life filled with cozy laps, soft blankets, and humans who appreciate the fine art of senior dog snuggles.

This handsome boy joined us after the San Jose Animal Care Center reached out about placing him in a more senior focused rescue.

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 nicely with most small, easygoing dogs but really isn't too fond of bigger pups who tower over her. Leaf would be happiest in a home without cats. 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.

Bumper Car is currently in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary spot while they are out of town. Please note that Bumper Car is blind and will need a foster who has a bit of patience while she figures out her new surroundings! Could that be with you?!
