Say hello to Toffee, a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix with the looks of a miniature Lab and a heart full of love (once she gets to know you!). At 25 pounds, she's the perfect size for a lap dog who still enjoys her daily walks and a bit of adventure. Toffee can be a little shy at first and may need a bit of time and patience to warm up to new people or dogs, but once she feels safe, she's all tail wags and affection. She's lived as an only dog but gets along well with canine companions when properly introduced. She's also a total pro with cats and doesn't seem bothered by them one bit.

While she's pretty indifferent to kids, she much prefers her calm, quiet moments over chaos. Her energy level is moderate, she enjoys a good walk and will get excited when it's time to go out, but she's just as happy curling up next to you for some chill time. Toffee is sweet, sensitive, and just a little quirky, the kind of dog who may not jump into your arms right away but will quietly win you over with her gentle nature and soft, expressive eyes.

Adorable Toffee is joining POMDR because her loving guardian can no longer give her the care she needs.

Toffee girl will be coming in for her evaluation on 11/5. If she passes, we would love for her to go straight into a loving foster home! Could that be with you?

Say hello to Bitsy, a lovable 10-year-old Dachshund/Lab mix with a heart as big as her adorable, soulful eyes. With her low-rider charm and wagging tail, Bitsy is the perfect blend of sweet and sassy, and she's ready to find her forever retirement home! Bitsy walks beautifully on leash and knows all her basic commands like a pro. She's a social butterfly with humans, whether she's greeting new friends with happy wiggles or snuggling up for some quiet time, this girl lives for attention and affection. She does wonderfully with children and would love to be part of a family that includes little ones to adore her.

She's a mature lady and prefers to hang out with other senior pups, the young whippersnappers are a bit too much for her. She can be a little unsure around cats, so a feline-free home (or one with respectful cats) would be best. Walks are one of her favorite pastimes, though she likes to take her time and stop for a breather here and there. She's carrying a few extra pounds and would benefit from a gentle, consistent routine to help her feel her best.

Bitsy is joining POMDR because sadly her loving guardian can no longer care for her. She may be 10, but she's full of love, loyalty, and those little tail wags that melt your heart. If you're looking for a sweet, calm, and cuddly companion to share your life and your couch, Bitsy is your girl.

Bitsy is joining the POMDR pack on 11/14 and we would love to have a loving foster home lined up for her. Do you think Bitsy would fit well within your pack? If so, please reach out today!

Meet Candy Corn, the sweetest treat of the season! This teeny-tiny Chihuahua is too cute for words- but we'll try anyway! Candy Corn is the kind of dog that makes small dog lovers weak in the knees. Weighing in at just a few precious pounds, she's happiest when she's snuggled in your arms or curled up in your lap like the little cuddle bug she is.

Whether you're binge-watching a show, working from home, or just needing a little emotional support in your day, Candy Corn is the pocket-sized companion you never knew you needed (but absolutely deserve).

Pint sized Candy Corn joins us from the SPCA Monterey County after she was found as a stray wander this big scary streets!

Acorn is a smiley brown Chihuahua with a heart of gold. He's a mellow, gentle boy who loves being held and soaking up affection. Quiet and sweet-natured, Acorn gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys just being part of the group. He may be a little shy at first, but his kind and loving personality shines through quickly. Acorn is the perfect little companion for anyone looking for a truly good boy to share life's cozy moments with.

Acorn joined POMDR from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found stray.

Acorn is an easy keeper ready to land in a loving home. He did come to us with a broken leg which will require weekly bandage changes at our Monterey vet clinic so he needs a foster in fairly close proximity/ flexibility to make these bandage change appointments.

Markus is the perfect-sized partner in crime for strolls around the neighborhood, light hikes, or just cruising from room to room.

This little foodie lives for mealtime and has a serious talent for wiggling his whole body in excitement.

Markus is looking for an adult only forever home where he can take the world at his own pace and have his boundaries respected.

Get your hearts ready because this gentleman is an absolute heartbreaker! Meet Sir Walter Bradbury, the most adorable and loving blind pup you have EVER met! This sweetheart gets along wonderfully with other dogs, big and small, adores children, and loves every human he meets! His favorite activity is napping in the sunshine, getting attention and going for strolls with his foster siblings. Walter is also super treat motivated and listens well to commands. He can even shake your hand, a true gentleman! We are truly baffled that darling Walter is still in our program. We know he would make the perfect addition to any family.

This sweet boy has been blind since birth and navigates his surroundings well. His family even taught him some special commands to help him get around! Walter Bradbury also has a heart condition for which he takes meds twice a day. Luckily, he takes his meds like a champ (as long as treats are inovolved, of course!)

Sir Walter Bradbury came to POMDR because his wonderfully loving family moved out of the country, and they were restricted from taking him with them.

Sir Walter Bradbury joined POMDR earlier this year and has been adored in her foster home! Unfortunately, he is needing to move foster homes. Can he stay with you?

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 currently in the arms of a loving foster but unfortunately, they are not able to foster her long-term. She's searching for another loving landing spot to call her own. Are you interested in giving Nana a safe place to land while she finds her forever home? If so, please reach out today!

This fun and active little dude is generous with his tailwags, is engaged, happy, and inquisitive all day long, and will provide undivided moral support to whatever you do. Cadbury loves to hang out with his people, snuggle belly-up on the couch, and soak up all the attention he can get. He enjoys roaming around the yard and going for brisk walks or trail hikes. On car rides, he is an excellent co-pilot, preferably taking in the scenery with his nose out the window. He can be selective about other doggy friends, and he will chase after and bark at cats and is thus looking for a feline-free home. We don't know yet how he behaves around children, but we assume that he will enjoy their company.

Besides missing a good number of his teeth, Cadbury is in excellent health. His muscles are toned and his joints are creak-free. With his smiley face and beautiful rich chocolate-colored coat, this lucky little charmer has everyone around him swooning in no time. He is very much looking forward to being part of a loving household and to be your best buddy forever.

Cadbury came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services so that we could address his dental disease.

Cadbury is looking to move into a new foster home where he can be star of the show! He's searching for a home without other pups and where his people are around much of the day, can he stay with you?
