Sweet little Chispita can be on the shy side when first making friends but warms up quickly. She hasn't yet met a dog who didn't become her best friend, and the same can be said with humans she meets! This little lady may be in her teens, but she sure doesn't act her age! She has plenty of energy to move her little legs and seems to really enjoy her walks.

Chispita apparently had a rough (or shall we say 'ruff') start to life. She was found running the streets severely matted, but that hasn't stopped her from loving every person and dog she meets. We don't know yet how she'd do around kitties or kids.

Chispita came to us after being found as a stray and landing at Hitchcock Road Animal Services.

Carly's senior guardian has been facing major health issues and has been hospitalized, and unfortunately, her family can't care for Carly right now. Through our Helping Paw Program, we are hoping to find a temporary foster home for 1-2 months while her guardian regains her strength.

Carly is very mellow in her senior years but has arthritis and hip dysplasia so she would do best in a home without stairs, small children, and rambunctious dogs. Carly has been peacefully coexisting with one other mellow dog for years, but we've noticed that she doesn't appreciate it when other dogs get into her space in her foster home. She'd do best with very calm canine companions who respect her "personal space" or as an only dog in her temporary foster home.

She only needs very short walks per day to relieve herself and may need some help getting up after lying down for long periods. She appreciates an occasional boost but most of the time she can get up by herself.

Macy is a charmer ready to find her new forever home! She gets along well with other dogs, and she will, sigh, tolerate cats, but isn't particularly fond of them.

She is a very smart girl and her current guardian reports that she is house-trained and knows basic commands.

Macy is coming to POMDR for an evaluation on 9/22 and we would love to have a foster home lined up. Macy is looking to join our program because her senior guardian has become ill and is no longer able to care for her.

Meet Pepito! This little guy is an absolute gem!

Looking for a loving, affectionate, lap dog? This is the pup for you! Want a fully capable ride or die personal secret service agent in a compact Chihuahua body? Pepito's your guy! Need an eager carpool pal or walking partner? He's ready! Want a cuddle buddy without separation anxiety or flight-risk issues? Look no further!

Pepito is a smart, affectionate, loyal, obedient pup who is cat friendly and gets along with nice dogs. On occasion he may need a gentle reminder to stand down (not every hooded stranger is an assassin), but Pepito responds well to correction and is incredibly clever. If you're looking for BIG love in a little body with a splash of Chi spice for occasional strangers, no one is better. Pepito would do best in a childfree home.

Pepito's story is a testament to the power of love and second chances. He came to us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services after being surrendered by his guardian, who could no longer care for him due to living arrangements. He joined his foster home scared, uncertain and in pain, and reacted when pain meds were forcibly administered. He wasn't a bad dog, just scared and in pain. With the loving patience of his new foster mom and tolerant cat family, Pepito's life has made a complete 180! He is now a happy, loving, amazing little companion.

Jax is an adorable little fella whose senior adopters can no longer care for him, so he has returned to our program to find a new loving home. He really loves people and makes quick friends with strangers!

This curly-haired fluffball has previously coexisted well with other dogs, but he may be a bit vocal when he sees another dog on leash. He does still have quite a lot of pep in his step though and enjoys his daily walks!

Jax originally came to us in 2022 from San Jose Animal Shelter after his guardian ended up in the hospital.

Bentley Boy is a social butterfly. He wants to give everyone little kisses, including some other dogs! He absolutely adores new people and is fabulous with other dogs of all sizes. His previous guardians said that he has friends all over his current neighborhood. He likes his daily walks but is happy to relax at home with you if you're not out and about with him.

Bentley Boy's previous guardians also say they've never had "such a sweet, affectionate or smart pet." Unfortunately due to their health issues and complications, they can no longer keep Bentley Boy and have made the difficult decision to surrender him.

Bentley Boy is coming into our program on 9/27/23 and we'd love to have a foster home lined up for him.

Orejas gets along well with dogs both big and small, but he may prefer to be the only apple of his adoptive family's eyes. We don't know yet how he does around kitties or children.

Fluffy brings with her a lifetime of wisdom and an abundance of fluffy charm.

Fluffy's name perfectly captures her essence - she's a vision of softness and devotion. Her affectionate nature is a testament to the loyalty that Chow Chows are known for. Fluffy adores human companionship and craves the warmth of a family to call her own.

While she enjoys the company of most dogs, Fluffy does have her preferences when it comes to canine friends. A supervised introduction is a must, and a home where she can be the cherished solo dog would be ideal. As for her interactions with cats and children, her gentle disposition suggests that she could adapt well with the right introduction and guidance.

Let Fluffy's twilight years be the brightest by providing her the love and care she truly deserves. Open your heart and home to Fluffy today, and together, you'll create a story of love that will last a lifetime.

Fluffy's journey brought her to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services, and now she's ready to start a new chapter - one filled with love, companionship, and joy. Will you be the one to offer Fluffy the comfort and security of a forever home?

Fluffy has been at the POMDR vet clinic for several weeks waiting to be fostered. She was in a foster home for a short time but her foster mom is unable to continue fostering so she is back at our clinic.

Fluffy would do best as the only dog in the home or may do well with a mellow smaller dog.
Fluffy is dealing with some incontinence so needs to wear diapers when she isn't confined to a space with floors that are easy to clean. She also has had several blood noses.

Cosmo has become quite the jet setter! This sweet guy was in rough shape when he landed at Ventura County Animal Services, but he has since been cleaned up and is ready to fly first class! As he was so far away, we found him a flight on Pilots N Paws and he landed with us ready to start his new life.

Cosmo enjoys going for leisurely walks to show off his new haircut, but is just as happy to snuggle up for a nap in his cozy bed. He is a gentle boy who will hopefully fly straight into your heart! We don't yet know how he interacts with kitties or kiddos, but he enjoys meeting canine friends with gentle sniffs.

Cosmo is looking forward to landing in his forever home!

This incredibly smart lad knows his basic commands, walks well on leash, and is even crate trained. Harley does great with other dogs and even cats but people are his favorite company. If he could, he would be a lap dog, he is very social and loves to be around people and kids. He's a gentle giant with so much love to share with his next family!

Meet the dog with the world's biggest heart! Hank has tons of love to share in the form of cuddles, snuggles, and adoration for his family. Hank refuses to pick favorites-in fact, he's a fan of yours already! He has excellent manners-no jumping up when saying hello, never begging, and asking permission before getting onto a bed or couch. Hank would be happiest in a house where folks have deep reserves of affection ready to share with him.

This energetic boy will need people who welcome a dog with spirit, strength, and passions: car rides, long walks, hikes, and fetch (only the best game in the world). He has shown some dog reactivity while on leash, but with reminders and training he's already showing signs of improvement. He has successfully lived with cats in the past, but would require a gradual introduction with any new kitty friends. He admits that his natural inclination is to chase cats (squirrels are also kind of irresistible). Hank sometimes protects his resources when he settles into a home. He would be best in a home as a solo dog or with a pup who is happy to share toys and chews and won't be bothered by Hank's miserly tendencies at times! We don't know yet how Hank would do with children. Hank's dream situation would include humans of his very own to love, squeaky toys, and a yard.

Hank's DNA results show that he's a Super Mutt Mix! He's 50% Boxer mixed with German Shepherd, Golden Retriever and Border Collie.

Hank was surrendered to us because his senior guardian was no longer able to care for him.

Hank is looking for a temp foster while his longer terms fosters are out of town from October 6th through the 15th.
