Ajay is a lovable senior sweetheart with a gentle spirit and so much love left to give. He enjoys the simple pleasures, quiet walks, cozy naps, and being close to his people. Ajay has a calm presence and would thrive in a home where he can settle in, feel safe, and be cherished during his golden years.

As a senior dog, Ajay is looking for an adopter who understands the value of patience, comfort, and companionship. He may do best in a calm environment with a predictable routine and someone who can be home with him more often.

If you are ready to open your heart to a devoted companion who will reward you with unconditional love and gratitude, Ajay would be honored to be by your side.

Ajay joined POMDR after his guardian reached out for placement when they were no longer able to care for him.

This sweet pup is looking for a dedicated foster home that can provide structure, patience, and understanding. He can become anxious when left alone for long periods of time and may be dealing with separation anxiety, so a foster who is home most of the day or able to manage alone time carefully would be ideal.

An experienced foster who is comfortable working through anxiety related behaviors and providing consistent routines will help him be successful. Support and guidance will be provided, he just needs the right environment to thrive.

If you have the time, space, and heart to help a dog who needs a little extra support, this could be an incredibly rewarding foster experience.

Meet Miss Marley, the bravest little heart you'll ever love. Marley is a soft spirit with a story that shows just how resilient dogs can be. When she first arrived at the shelter, her nails were so overgrown they curled into her feet, a sign that she hadn't known proper care or comfort for far too long. It's believed she experienced some trauma or neglect in her past, and she carries a bit of understandable caution because of it. Despite all of this, Marley has blossomed and continues to do so.

Once she realizes she's safe, her whole face lights up, and she greets you with full body wiggles. She just asks for a little warm-up time and a kind, patient heart to help her feel secure. In return, she offers gentle companionship, quiet loyalty, and the sweetest little snuggles. Marley would prefer to be the only apple of someone's eye and may do best in an adult only home (or a home with patient and understanding older kids).

Marley joined us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services. She was adopted from there as a younger dog and surrendered back recently in concerning condition. Due to her age and clear traumas, they felt she would do best in the loving arms of a foster home while she waits for her forever family.

Miss Marley is in a loving foster home but she will need to move soon. If you have a quiet home where Marley can warm up to you in time, please reach out today!

Chucky is a wise and wonderful little soul with a heart as big as his ears. He has embraced his golden years with grace and a touch of quirky charm. A true gentleman, Chucky is gentle, thoughtful, and independent -- the kind of dog who enjoys quiet moments, warm laps, and short strolls in the sun. He is currently thriving on prescription kidney food and doing well, proving that age is just a number when you have the right care (and the right person by your side). He's looking for a like-minded human, ideally someone retired, who enjoys a calm, low-key lifestyle and is looking for a loyal sidekick to share it with.

Chucky is a bit picky about his canine companions. He knows what (and who) he likes. So a home where he can be your one and only is likely best!

If you're someone who understands the beauty of slow mornings, shared sunsets, and quiet companionship, Chucky might just be your perfect match. Come meet this quirky little senior. He's ready to love and be loved for the rest of his days. Chucky came to POMDR because his sweet and loving guardian recently passed away.

Meet Eddy, a gentle little chi with a heart as big as his years. At 18, this sweet senior has perfected the art of quiet companionship, happy to toddle alongside you on a walk, nap in a sunny spot, or simply be near his person. Though deaf and in need of a little dental TLC, Eddy navigates life with grace and a calm, mellow spirit. He is wonderfully polite with other dogs, friendly when meeting new people, and even gets along beautifully with cats.

Eddys story is heartbreaking, but his resilience is inspiring. After being left behind when his previous owner moved away, he was taken in by a caring neighbor who quickly discovered what a lovely, easygoing little guy he truly is. He sleeps soundly through the night, is crate trained, walks nicely on leash, and is content snoozing through most of the day. Eddy is ready for a safe, loving home where he can enjoy comfort, kindness, and the golden retirement he absolutely deserves. If you are looking for a gentle soul to cherish, Eddy will be your tiny, grateful shadow.

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.

Pesto is a little gentleman who has quickly won over everyone he meets. After being sadly abandoned, he is ready for a fresh start with a family who will love him endlessly. Polite, sweet, and curious, Pesto takes the world in stride. While he is still decompressing from his rough past, he is already showing his calm, affectionate side.

Pesto is great with other dogs, big or small, and lives peacefully with cats, both indoors and outdoors. He can be a little nervous with sudden movements at first, but he warms up quickly and adores spending time with people, including children. This charming little Yorkie is looking for a patient, loving home where he can feel safe, cherished, and fully part of a family. If you are looking for a devoted little companion with a heart full of hope, Pesto is ready to meet you!

Pesto joined POMDR after a local animal advocate rescued him when he was found abandoned, without food or water, for four days. Previously used for breeding and kept outdoors, he was left behind when the family moved but now Pesto is ready to leave the past behind and thrive in a loving forever home.

Pesto would flourish in a foster home committed to giving him the time, patience, and love he so deserves. He will be joining our program at the beginning of January. We are hoping this darling boy can go straight into a foster home that will support him until he finds his forever family.
