Pack your bags - Snorkel is ready for the trip of a lifetime! This adorable pup is searching for a forever family to be his favorite travel companions. With his sweet personality and easygoing nature, Snorkel is the kind of dog who makes every day feel like a vacation. Whether he's exploring new places or relaxing by your side, he's happiest when he's sharing the journey with people he loves.

A true social traveler, Snorkel gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is always happy to make new friends along the way. When it comes to cats, he's more of a "live and let live" kind of guy. He's generally indifferent and content to coexist peacefully. His friendly attitude and laid-back charm make him an easy companion for all kinds of friends.

Snorkel's dream itinerary includes cozy naps, plenty of belly rubs, and a one-way ticket to a loving forever home. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick to make every season feel like a getaway, this sweet boy is ready to stamp his paw print on your heart. All that's missing from his travel plans is you!

Snorkel joined the POMDR pack from Los Banos Animal Shelter after being picked up as a stray.

Snorkel is currently relaxing in a doggy suite, but what this sweet pup would really love is a cozy foster home while waiting for adoption.

Meet Antoine! A 5-year-old French Bulldog with big personality packed into a perfectly squishy little frame. This charming boy is the definition of Frenchie fun: equal parts silly, snuggly, and just a little bit dramatic in the most entertaining way. Antoine loves being close to his people, following you from room to room like your own tiny shadow, and making sure he never misses out on a moment of attention (or a good couch spot).

Antoine is looking for a foster home that appreciates the finer things in life, like cozy blankets, leisurely strolls, and plenty of affection. He's happiest when he's part of the household rhythm, whether that's lounging nearby while you work or curling up for a well-earned nap after a short burst of play. This little guy brings a lot of heart, a lot of personality, and just the right amount of Frenchie flair to brighten any home lucky enough to have him.

This sweet Frenchie came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray with severe facial swelling.

Our veterinary team is currently evaluating his medical needs and helping him get on the road to recovery. While he isn't quite ready for foster care yet, we're hopeful that once he's medically stable, he'll be ready to trade the clinic for the comfort of a loving foster home. Keep an eye out for updates as we learn more about this resilient little guy!

Sweet as a summer breeze and cute as can be, Summer is ready to steal your heart! Summer is the kind of girl who brings sunshine wherever she goes. This adorable pup has a sweet, easygoing personality and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making friends everywhere she goes. When it comes to cats, she's pretty indifferent and is happy to let them do their own thing. With her precious face, gentle nature, and endless charm, it's impossible not to fall in love with her.

True to her name, Summer is all about happy vibes, sunny days, and spreading joy. She loves spending time with her people, making canine friends, and soaking up affection. While she enjoys warm weather and outdoor adventures, Summer doesn't do well in excessive heat and is happiest when she can cool off indoors with air conditioning, a comfy bed, and maybe a tasty treat or two. This sweet girl is ready to bring warmth, love, and a little bit of sunshine into her forever home all year long.

Summer came from Los Banos Animal Shelter, where she landed after being found as a stray.

Summer recently joined us from the shelter and is curled up in a cozy doggie suite. If you are interested in fostering Summer, contact our Volunteer Coordinator. Can she stay with you?

Meet Reef! This sweet little senior Chihuahua mix is bringing calm ocean energy in a small, sturdy, and extra-cuddly package. Reef is all about slow summer vibes, sun-warmed naps in cozy blankets, gentle breezy strolls, and happily trotting along just a step behind you like your devoted little shadow. He's got a goofy, endearing charm that shines through in his tiny tail wags, soft little grumbles of contentment, and the way he politely asks for just one more pet before you get up.

Reef is a social, easygoing guy who gets along great with other dogs and is pretty unfazed by cats. He's more of a "live and let live, as long as everyone is nice" kind of beach buddy. He fits right in with the pack or happily does his own thing, usually from the coziest spot in the room, keeping an eye on his favorite humans.

As a distinguished little senior, Reef enjoys the finer comforts in life: extra-soft beds, sunny spots that don't require too much effort to reach, and gentle affection on demand. He also rides well in the car, making him the perfect co-pilot for mellow summer adventures, especially road trips with the windows down (and AC blasting just right for his comfort). Reef is looking for a loving home where he can soak up the good life and be your loyal, slightly goofy, ride-or-die beach companion all season long and for all the cozy seasons after.

Reef joined the POMDR pack from Los Banos Animal Shelter after being picked up as a stray.

Reef is currently relaxing in a comfortable doggy suite, but what this sweet pup would really love is a cozy foster home while waiting for adoption. Fostering gives Reef the comfort, love, and stability of a home environment, and it also helps us learn more about his personality so we can find the perfect forever family match. If you'd like to meet Reef and learn more about fostering, meet-and-greets are scheduled through our Volunteer Coordinator.

Looking for the perfect summer companion? Pina Colada is the sweetest Frenchie who brings sunshine wherever she goes! Just like her tropical namesake, Pina Colada is the perfect blend of fun, sweetness, and relaxation. She loves spending her days playing with her doggy friends and would be thrilled to have a canine companion to share adventures with. Whether it's zoomies in the yard, a stroll around the neighborhood, or a playdate at the park, Pina is always ready for a good time.

When the party winds down, this beach babe is all about cozy cuddle sessions. Pina Colada is an expert snuggler who loves curling up beside her favorite people and showering them with sweet kisses. She's affectionate, playful, and has a personality as warm and inviting as a summer day.

Miss Pina Colada joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. She was found to have ear polyps and needed to secure a spot in a rescue organization to find her forever home. We're happy to be part of Pina's journey!

Pina will be joining the POMDR pack soon but we're hoping to secure her a foster family of her very own before her arrival. Interested in fostering her? Please reach out today.

Brisket is a fluffy bundle of charm with a heart as warm and comforting as his name. Despite being through a lot, he loves cuddles--and will make that known with a nudge of the paw. He's also terrific with dogs, remaining calm in the face of even high energy ones. His easygoing nature makes him a wonderful companion for both quiet evenings and busy households alike.

He could use some TLC as he recovers from some injuries, but his patient and calm demeanor makes it easy to care for this gentle guy.

Brisket is from Hitchcock Road Animal Services and joined POMDR due to his medical needs.

Brisket is relaxing in a doggy suit as he receives medical care before going to foster. If you are interested in fostering Brisket, contact our Volunteer Coordinator.

Meet Celeste, a sweet young Pyrenees girl who's ready to find a loving home and a soft place to land. She is gentle, affectionate, and happiest when she's close to her people, whether that means leaning in for pets, lounging nearby, or making new friends wherever she goes. She has a calm, loving nature and gets along wonderfully with other dogs and everyone she meets. She'd do best in a home with other dogs as she's just so overjoyed to make new pals. She'd really love a playmate to spend her days with.

This beautiful girl is currently being evaluated and treated by our veterinary team for a mass in her mouth. Through it all, she has remained incredibly kind, trusting, and full of love. She deserves a family willing to open their heart to a dog who may need a little extra care, but who gives back endless devotion in return.

Celeste joined POMDR from Hitchcock Road Animal Services in Salinas after being found stray. They sought medical rescue with POMDR due to the mass on her lip.

Celeste is looking to land in a loving home with dog pals to spend her time with.

When Franc landed at our local shelter, the neglect he had endured was almost unimaginable. His tiny body was buried beneath layers upon layers of matted fur, dreaded and woven together so tightly it had formed a thick, wool-like shell around him. The mats around his neck were shaped in a way that suggested he may have been trapped wearing a cone for months, possibly even years. His nails had grown over 4 inches long, curling and locking themselves into the dense mats that suffocated his paws. No dog should ever have to live like that.

Despite everything he's been through, Franc has remained gentle and kind. He is good with other dogs and seems to find comfort in their presence. Now freshly shaved down and finally relieved of the painful burden he carried for so long, we are already beginning to see glimpses of the dog he was always meant to be. Right now, Franc is learning what it means to feel safe. To be touched with love instead of neglect. To rest comfortably. To simply be a dog again.

We can only imagine the life he survived, but we are determined that the rest of his story will be filled with warmth, patience, and kindness. Franc is looking for a family willing to help him blossom into the beautiful soul we know is hiding underneath the scars of his past. And trust us... this little boy is worth the wait.

Sweet Franc joined us from a local shelter after he was picked up as a stray in deplorable condition. We were contacted as he clearly needed some extra TLC beyond what the shelter could offer him.

Franc is being temporarily housed in a cozy care suite while searching for a foster home. We're hopeful that he can make his way into a foster home soon to begin to settle, decompress, and heal. If you are looking to make a difference, please reach out today.

Meet Hawk, a distinguished senior gentleman with a heart as big as his soulful eyes. This charming fellow has perfected the art of relaxation, enjoys leisurely strolls, and gives the best gentle snuggles. He will gladly sit in your lap too!

In his foster home, Hawk loves to enjoy a lick mat and toddle around the house following his foster mom. He is truly a mellow and consistent guy! Hawk may be older, but he is wise, affectionate, and ready to bring a lifetime of calm companionship (and a little bit of mischief) to the right home. Hawk does great around other pups but would also be happy to be a solo dog, either works for him as long as pets and attention are involved!

Hawk joined POMDR after his guardian moved to assisted living and needed help finding Hawk's next forever home.

Ready to add some zing to your life? Meet Hot Sauce! This spunky little guy is just as much fun as his name. With his fabulous jagged grin and flowing locks, he struts around like he owns the block, and honestly, he probably does.

Hot Sauce is the perfect mix of couch potato and nosy neighbor, always up for a reality TV binge, but equally committed to keeping tabs on every squirrel and delivery driver from his window post. A true foodie and belly rub connoisseur, he is also known for dramatic sighs if he thinks you are hogging the snacks. Hot Sauce had some issues with bladder stones upon intake but is doing so much better! He will need to stay on a special urinary diet for life to prevent future bladder stones.

Hot Sauce came to us from a Sacramento shelter needing medical care, and now he is ready to live his best, most pampered life.

Guess what? A secret admirer has already paid Hot Sauce's adoption fee! Now all he needs is a special someone to give him the loving home he deserves -- free of charge.

Little Hot Sauce is currently cuddled up in a loving foster home and only needs a temporary foster while they are out of town. Looking to spice up your life? Temp foster Hot Sauce today!
