Meet Jelly Bean, the sweetest little treat of the season! Jelly Bean is a charmer with a personality as bright as a spring morning. This handsome boy is ready to hop right into your life and fill it with tail wags, sunshine walks, and plenty of smiles. Like his name suggests, Jelly Bean is a delightful mix of fun and sweetness. He enjoys spending time with people, exploring the world around him, and making new canine friends.

Jelly Bean does have a little patchy hair loss on his back right now, but our veterinary team is already on the case and helping him feel his best. With a little care and love, he'll be blooming just like the flowers this spring.

Jelly Bean joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. Sadly he was a frequent flyer as a stray, each time he came in his skin condition worse. This time he was signed over so we could assist with his medical and get him feeling his best.

Jelly Bean is currently boarding with us but we would love to see him soak in the comforts of a home. He's a sweet guy who does not ask for much. Can he stay with you?If you are interested in fostering and you are already a POMDR volunteer, email us.

Buffy carries a heart full of love and a spirit full of bravery. Her sweetness is as endearing as her friendliness is inviting. Buffy's mellow temperament makes her a joy to be around, and her gentle nature is a comfort to all who know her. Despite some vision loss, Buffy goes forward with courage, embodying the spirit of her namesake, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She's also incredibly cuddly, making her the perfect companion for those cozy nights in. In fact, we affectionately refer to her as Buffy the Nap Slayer! With Buffy, you're not just adopting a pet, you're welcoming a loyal friend who will offer unconditional love and companionship.

This sweet lady gets along well with other dogs and adores her humans. She is losing some of her vision, so she can be startled when people come to pet her or pick her up. A gentle pat on her body or head is all she asks to ensure she knows you're there.

Due to Buffy'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.

Buffy joined us from Bradshaw Sacramento County Animal Shelter after it was found that she would benefit from joining a senior rescue to best meet her needs.

Little miss Buffy is searching for a foster home to land in to give her loads of love and snuggles. She is currently boarding at our Monterey vet clinic while she waits for her forever family.

Lovable little Watson is a tiny senior Chihuahua at his best. He may be getting along in years, but he still has some toddle left in those legs of his. He has a bit of osteoarthritis in his hips, but he doesn't let that slow him down at all. Aside from taking in the sights and smells around him, Watson loves a good sunbathing session. He'd love to lounge around the yard this summer with you!

Watson is lovely with cats and humans but prefers to be the only pup in the home. In his retirement years, he really just wants all of love for himself (and we understand!)!

Watson joined us from the Sacramento Bradshaw shelter where he landed after being found as a stray. They wanted to help him find a forever family ready to meet the needs of a senior dog, so he joined the POMDR family!

Watson is currently in a loving foster home but he is looking for a more ideal home where he can be the only apple of someone's eye. Could that be you? Please reach out if you think Watson would make the perfect foster for you!

Meet Chopsticks, a sweet, easygoing guy whose name comes from his delightfully distinctive teeth. Those little pearly "sticks" of his give him a one-of-a-kind smile that's guaranteed to make you grin right back. Chopsticks is the kind of dog everyone loves to have around. He's a super easy keeper who doesn't ask for much, just a comfy place to relax, some friendly company, and a family to call his own. His laid-back personality makes him the perfect addition to just about any household.

Chopsticks is the kind of companion who fits right into daily life. Whether you're heading out for a casual stroll or settling in for a relaxing evening at home, he's just happy to be along for the ride. If you're looking for a sweet, simple, no-fuss best friend, Chopsticks might be the perfect match. Add him to your sushi crew and enjoy a lifetime of smiles- no special technique required!

Chopsticks joins us from Contra Costa Animal Services. Due to his senior status, they felt that he would do best in the care of a senior focused rescue.

Chopsticks is cozied up while boarding with us but we'd love to see him into a foster home today. Can he stay with you? Please reach out to learn more about this great little guy!

Meet Ginger, a lovely senior lady who proves that the classics never go out of style. Named after the pickled ginger that brightens every sushi plate, this sweet girl brings a gentle warmth and just the right touch of spice to everyone she meets. Ginger may be a golden-years gal, but don't mistake that for boring. Sure, she prefers a slower pace these days- cozy naps, sunny spots, and leisurely strolls, but every now and then she'll surprise you with a determined (and very cute) slow-motion dash for the door when she thinks adventure might be waiting outside.

Like many senior sweethearts, Ginger does have a medical journey ahead, but she's in good hands. Our veterinary team is actively working through her care plan and making sure she gets everything she needs to feel her best. What she needs most now is a loving home where she can continue that journey with comfort, patience, and plenty of soft places to rest.

Ginger joins us from Contra Costa Animal Services after he was found as a stray. Due to her medical need and senior status, they felt that she would do best in the care of a senior focused rescue.

Sweet Ginger is ready and waiting to land in a foster home today. Can she stay with you? We'd really love to see her land in a foster home where she can settle in and shine.

Just like her namesake, Nori may seem a little understated at first, but once you get to know her, you realize she's the quiet comfort that holds everything together. Nori is a nice, sensitive girl who tends to be on the reserved side. Big adventures and busy outings aren't really her thing. Instead, she dreams of a peaceful home where life moves at a calm pace and the best activities include cozy blankets and good company.

Nori does well with other calm, respectful dogs who match her relaxed energy. She's not the life-of-the-party type, but she's a wonderful steady companion who just wants to be near her person and enjoy the simple things. If your ideal evening involves soft lighting, a comfy couch, and a loyal dog curled up beside you, Nori might be your perfect roll.

Nori joins us from Contra Costa Animal Services. Due to her senior status, they felt that she would do best in the care of a senior focused rescue.

Little Nori is ready and waiting to land in a foster home today. Can she stay with you? We'd really love to see her land in a foster home where she can cozy up with her fellow homebodies while she awaits her forever landing spot.

This small fluffy boy is packed with warmth, charm, and just the right amount of cuddly energy to brighten your days. Sun Bear is truly a nice boy through and through. He's gentle, affectionate, and happiest when he's close to his people.

Whether he's trotting happily at your side, soaking up belly rubs, or curling up for a cozy nap, he radiates that easygoing, sunny personality that makes everyone smile. He's the kind of pup who fits right into your life, small enough to join you on all your adventures, but content to relax at home and be your loyal little shadow. His soft eyes and sweet demeanor make it impossible not to fall in love.

Sun Bear joined us from the Front Street Sacramento City Animal Services after he was brought in as a stray.

Sun Bear will be joining us in the coming days. We'd love to see this amazing boy into a loving home shortly after his arrival.

Pixie is a gentle, soulful senior heeler who is hoping her next chapter will finally be the one she deserves. This lovely girl has been through a lot recently, but what matters most is that Pixie is still full of love and ready to share it with someone special.

Despite the rough time she's had, Pixie remains incredibly sweet and devoted to her people. She has that quiet, steady companionship that senior dogs do so beautifully-content to stay close by your side, enjoy a cozy place to rest, and soak up every bit of kindness you offer. Her soft eyes say it all: she's just looking for someone who will give her the comfort and security she's been missing.

Pixie would thrive in a home where she can settle in, relax, and enjoy the simple joys of life-soft beds, gentle walks, and plenty of affection. She has so much love left to give and would make a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates the special bond that comes with adopting a senior dog.

Pixie joins POMDR from the SPCA Monterey County who thought she would thrive in a senior-focussed environment.

Pixie is waiting to join our program if we can find a loving foster home open to taking her. She is currently boarding at the shelter and we know she can't wait to get back into a cozy, safe home. Do you have room for this sweet senior girl?

Meet Barnacle, a gentle and loving lad with a heart as big as the ocean. This handsome boy may be blind, but he doesn't let that stop him from enjoying life and soaking up affection from the people around him. Barnacle is a truly nice boy who thrives on kindness, patience, and companionship. His blindness means he'll need a little extra guidance at first, things like keeping furniture in consistent places, using verbal cues, and helping him learn new spaces, but in return you'll gain an incredibly loyal and trusting companion.

He enjoys calm environments, soft beds, and gentle walks where he can explore the world through his nose and ears. Barnacle would do best with an adopter who is willing to give him a bit of extra support and understanding as he settles into a new home. Barnacle joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after he was found as a stray.

Barnacle is 'looking'... pun intended, to come into our program but first he needs a foster committed to his care. Being blind, he is a more challenging dog to find foster placement for so we want to ensure his foster home is ready for his needs ahead of his entry to the program.

Like her namesake from Peter Pan, Nana is the picture of loyalty and love. This sweet senior has a gentle, caretaker's heart. She bonds deeply with her people and will happily be your steady, loving shadow.

Nana would prefer to join a home with stability and predictability. She can be a bit confused by new people entering the home. She is hoping for a patient, understanding home that will give her comfort, routine, and reassurance when she needs it. 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. She walks beautifully on leash and loves to take in the world at her own pace.

Sweet Nana joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray.

Nana is searching for another loving landing spot to call her own. She would prefer a single woman household if possible, as her stranger danger does limit the number of men she feels safe around. Are you interested in giving Nana a safe place to land while she finds her forever home? If so, please reach out today!

River first joined our rescue five years ago, and now through no fault of his own, he's back and looking for a fresh start. His devoted guardian loves him dearly but can no longer physically manage his strength on walks. River needs a more active, physically capable home that can give him the exercise and structure he thrives on. Luckily, River is still the same gentle giant we fell in love with years ago. He's incredibly smart, highly treat motivated, and bonds deeply with his people. Once you're the treat giver, you're his favorite person!

Despite his large and sometimes intimidating appearance, River is truly a love bug at heart who adores human attention. He knows his basics like sit and shake, takes treats politely, and is wonderful with other dogs. He has excellent patience and social skills and would likely enjoy a canine companion. River does get excited on leash and can pull, especially when something catches his attention.

He's strong and enthusiastic, so he'll do best with an adopter who can confidently handle him and continue working on his leash manners. Ongoing training and structure will help him shine. As a typical shepherd, he does have prey drive, he is not suited for homes with horses and would likely chase wildlife. River would thrive in an active home that enjoys long walks, hikes, or even jogging, he makes a fantastic running partner! With the right guidance and exercise, he's an incredibly loyal, loving companion.

River came to us initially among a group of dogs POMDR brought back from Hitchcock Road Animal Shelter to help free up space for dogs being evacuated due to wildfires. He now is searching for his next home as his adopter is unable to keep up with his care.

River is retuning to our program as his guardian is not able to continue his care. He's looking for a strong, active home that is able to keep up with the care that he needs. We're unable to bring River back into our program until we have a committed foster for him so if River sounds your speed, please reach out today!

Lacey is a sweet little lady with a gentle presence and a soft, hopeful expression that will melt your heart. While we're still getting to know her, one thing is clear, she seems to be a very nice little lady who enjoys a calm, friendly environment. Lacey does well with other dogs and has been good around cats, too, making her a wonderful candidate for a multi-pet household. She appears to appreciate companionship and would likely love a cozy spot on the couch or a warm lap to call her own.

We don't know a lot about Lacey's past, but we do know she deserves a bright future. She does have some medical needs, and the good news is our veterinary clinic will be taking care of those to ensure she's happy and comfortable. Lacey is looking for a home that will spoil her with soft blankets, gentle affection, and plenty of patience as she settles in.

Lacey will be coming to us for evaluation on Tuesday, March 17th. We'd love to have a loving home lined up to meet her that same day. Can she stay with you?

With age, this Beanie Baby has definitely increased her treasure status. She is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and loving, and soaks up attention like a pro. Whether snuggled up in your lap, following you from room to room, or giving you her signature adoring look, this girl is all about connection. Her happy place is right by your side. True to her Chihuahua roots, Beans is very loyal and bonds deeply with the people close to her and she needs a little time to warm up to folks outside of that inner circle. If it was up to her, the entire day would involve sitting on laps, cuddling up tight, and being part of all daily activities. Her specialty move is claiming the highest point in the living room (aka the top of the couch). On leashed walks, she has quite the pep in her step and with her foster family she has even completed a 5K walk. She likes to come along on car rides and will calmly sit in your lap. Her interactions with other dogs are mostly friendly indifference.

Beanie Baby would thrive in a calm, predictable household with someone who is home most of the time and enjoys having a constant companion. She does best when she feels secure and connected, and she benefits from consistency, patience, and gentle reassurance as she settles into new environments. Beanie Baby is ready to be your perfect little sidekick! All she wishes for is a family who will shower her with affection and go out on little adventures now and then.

Beanie Baby joined POMDR from Bradshaw Animal Shelter in Sacramento.

Beanie Baby is dreaming of a cozy foster home where she can be your one and only. She struggles with being alone and would thrive in a home where she can spend lots of time with her person, soaking up companionship and affection as the true star of the household. If you have the space in your home and your heart to give this sweet girl the love and attention she deserves, she would be so grateful to land with you.

Some cookies are extra special -- simple, sweet, and made with love. That's our Sugar Cookie. This darling girl lives up to her name in every way. She is pure sweetness from nose to tail, with a gentle heart that just wants to be close to her people. She's wonderful with other dogs and brings a soft, comforting presence wherever she goes, just like the smell of fresh-baked cookies filling a home.

When Sugar Cookie arrived, she had quite a bit going on medically, including multiple mammary masses. Our veterinary team is working carefully and lovingly to help her feel her very best. She's already showing us how resilient she is, facing everything with quiet grace and trust. Right now, Sugar Cookie needs something just as important as medical care: a warm, loving home. Could you be that safe place for her?

She needs a family willing to be her support while she continues her journey to healing. A calm home where she can rest, recover, and be reminded that life can be gentle and kind. In return, she promises to give you the sweetest companionship and the quiet gratitude of a dog who knows she's finally safe. This is truly a rewarding time to support a dog like Sugar Cookie.

Sugar Cookie joined us after she found herself at Contra Costa Animal Services as a stray. Due to the shelter's full status, her medical needs, and her senior age, what better place for her to land in than Peace of Mind Dog Rescue!

Sweet Sugar Cookie is ready to melt right into your arms. She'd love to find a soft landing spot ahead of her forever home. She will need a foster who is local and able to take her to her weekly appointments to monitor her health. Interested in fostering? Please reach out today!

This fluffy boy scrambled down the rugged mountains just to climb right into your heart! He absolutely charms everyone with his soulful eyes and no one can resist petting his amazing mane. Yeti is as gentle, loving, and sweet as can be and he is the perfect snuggle buddy for cozy evenings and quiet mornings.

Yeti moves through life at an easy pace. He is not much for long walks, but he definitely loves yard explorations, sunbathing, treats, belly rubs, and just being near his favorite people. He is great around other dogs as well as cats and even kids. This mellow gentleman is looking for a peaceful, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by kindness, comfort, and plenty of snacks. He would prefer a house and a yard that he can easily navigate, without tricky steps or staircases.

Just like the world's most versatile utensil, this little lady truly does it all: she is part sweet spoon (all cuddles and snuggles) and part sassy fork (with opinions about when dinner should be served). Now in her golden years, Spork has perfected the art of napping, people watching, and politely judging other dogs' fashion choices from her cozy bed. Don't let her age fool you -- she's got plenty of pep in her step when it's time for a walk or a snack run! Spork's ideal day includes a leisurely stroll through the yard, a soft blanket in her bed, and a human who will exclaim that she is 'the cutest thing ever' at least five times a day (non-negotiable). She is the kind of pup who will make you laugh about her quirky displays and melt your heart with her irresistible gaze. Spork is great with dogs, cats and kids!

If you have been searching for a perfectly-sized, silky-soft, and charming comedian to share your couch and your heart with, Spork is ready to serve up joy with a side of adorable attitude! Extra bonus: she gets along splendidly with other dogs, with cats, and gentle children. While overall in good shape, she will require daily prescription eye-drops and medication for Cushing's disease. Since joining POMDR, she has been receiving all the medical care and TLC she needed and is feeling much better than when she first arrived.

Sweet Spork joined us from San Jose Animal Care Center and Services, who thought she would shine best in a senior-focused rescue.

Spork is such a darling girl who has been through so much. If you are interested in hosting Spork please let us know!
