Looking for a true sweetheart? Agatha is as sweet and gentle as they come! This darling lady landed at a local shelter in horrible shape. This poor girl. Her body was covered in feces, she was severely overweight, matted, suspected to be in heart failure, and could barely even stand. It was truly heartbreaking to see any dog in this condition, but Agatha proved to be loving and gentle despite the neglect.

Our staff and veterinary team have Agatha cleaned up and looking and feeling much better already, but she really needs a home where she can lay her head down. Can you help? She's looking for a loving home that can help her lose some weight but also limit her exercise due to her heart condition. She will need more frequent visits to our Monterey vet clinic and some medications. Luckily, she's an easy patient all around. Agatha gets along great with other dogs and seems to enjoy the company of people.

Agatha joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was picked up as a stray in this neglectful state. Sadly, her guardians were found but they surrendered her to the shelter because they were not able to meet her medical needs.

Agatha is searching for a home that can keep her comfortable and not overly active due to her heart condition. She does however need to lose some weight so this foster home would ideally be able to monitor her diet closely to help with this weight loss. She's an easy keeper who loves to snooze much of the day away in a comfy bed.

Espresso comes to us from Bradshaw Sacramento County Animal Services. Due to his skin condition and senior status, they thought he would do best in a senior focused rescue to find his forever family.

With this little Razzle Dazzle and a cherry on top, every day is like a Sundae! This sweet and mellow lady enjoys a good cuddle, will politely paw you for continued belly rubs, and will dole out gentle kisses if you let her. If that does not get your attention, she may grumble and make silly throaty noises until she can no longer be ignored. She is friendly with other small dogs when out and about, but we don't yet know how she would behave around cats and children. At her foster home she loves being around her humans, taking naps in a comfy dog bed, spending time outside in the sunshine, and going for walks around the block. She is an excellent errand-running buddy, has great car-riding manners, and is always up for an adventure. Razzy is also fine staying home alone now and then, and she is perfectly house and crate trained.

While overall in good shape, Razzy will require prescription eye drops, medicated baths, and supplements for her chronic dry eye and skin issues. Since joining POMDR, she has been receiving all the medical care and TLC she needed and is already feeling much better. This little miss was found abandoned near an emergency vet and is now definitely ready to live the good life and enjoy all the razzmatazz she so much deserves.

Razzle Dazzle joined the POMDR pack after she was picked up and cared for by the San Jose Animal Care and Services team.

Mattie happens to be the sweetest boy, he doesn't ask or need for much! He loves to follow you around to make sure he's not missing out on the action. Mattie also does well being left alone, always greeting his foster mom with a wagging tail when she comes home.

Terra is a happy little lady ready to land in her forever home! Terra appreciates regular meals, a couple of well-timed treats, walks around the neighborhood, and loads of love. At the end of her busy day, she enjoys relaxing on the couch snuggled up next to you. Although she definitely prefers when her human companion is around, she is also fine when left home alone for a little while. Up until now, Terra did not get a chance to live life to the fullest and she is eager to catch up on the plush pampered poodle lifestyle.

This sweet girl is perfectly polite when meeting new pups and will give them an initial sniff but doesn't really pay them any mind after that. She does have a bit of a wobbly walk, but she gets around beautifully.

Our vet staff diagnosed Terra with a heart condition known as an AV Block, which means she cannot undergo surgery due to possible complications under anesthesia and has not been able to have some mammary masses removed. She has also been experiencing some seizures. For this reason, Terra is looking for a home that is comfortable administering life long oral medication to her daily.

Due to Terra's current medical needs, POMDR is offering one year of medical appointments/medications through our Monterey vet clinic at no cost to their adopter. If you are interested in taking advantage of this perk, we can share more with you upon submission of your adoption questionnaire.

Terra was roaming the streets as a stray when a good Samaritan saw a truck run over her -- fortunately without making contact! She was taken to Hitchcock Road Animal Services before joining POMDR.

This sweet senior lady is searching for a loving temporary foster home that can help her live her best life while her regular foster is out of town. Terra does have high medical needs so she is searching for a medically experienced temp foster. If you have this expertise to share with Terra for just a few days, we'd love to hear from you!

Sweet, sweet Russell joined us early in 2024 after being surrendered to Santa Cruz County Animal Services when his guardian fell ill and was not able to care for this sweet boy any longer.

Over time, Russell's vision has diminished and health has been declining. Despite this decline, Russell still adores his people. He still enjoys a good walk around the block and loves to sink into a cozy bed for a nap afterwards. We're grateful that mister Russell will live out his senior years under the care of his incredible foster mom and the care of our vet team to ensure he stays as healthy as can be.

Russell is in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary spot to cozy up while they are out of town. Can he come and stay with you?!

Sweet Wilson joined us from Contra Costa Animal Services after his homeless guardians came to realize they could not provide Wilson with the care he needed in his advancing age.

Wilson is a senior dog with a heart as golden as his years. Unfortunately, his severe mobility difficulties paired with numerous other medical factors including cushings, IVDD, vision loss, and some doggie dementia, we have decided that Wilson should join our hospice group. He will live out his days under the attentive care of our vet team soaking in as much love as possible.

Wilson is currently in a loving foster home but needs a temporary foster while his regular foster is away. Wilson has some considerable mobility challenges and does require a helping hand to get up at times. He's searching for a temporary foster who is home most of the day as he requires a fair bit of support.
