Aloha is all about joy, energy, and good vibes! This playful pup lives for fun and will happily show off her signature zoomies when she's excited. Whether she's romping around the yard or chasing toys, Aloha brings a contagious enthusiasm that will keep you smiling.

She's also a total social butterfly--Aloha does great with other dogs and loves meeting new people. Her friendly, easygoing nature makes her a wonderful companion for an active home or a family looking for a dog who can join in on all the fun. After she's burned off some energy, Aloha is more than happy to settle down and enjoy some love and attention. If you're looking for a happy, social pup who will fill your days with laughter and love, Aloha might just be your perfect match

Aloha joins POMDR from Hitchcock Road Animals Services in Salinas where she was found stray.

This sweet girl is looking to leave her shelter days behind her, but because our clinic is full we are needing a foster home willing to take her in before we break her out of the shelter.

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.

Don't let his blindness fool you! Biggie sees the world through his heart, and what he sees is LOVE. Biggie is a sweet Pug with a gentle soul and a big personality. Despite being blind, he navigates life with the help of his other senses and, of course, his favorite humans! This little guy is incredibly affectionate, fantastic with children, and great with other dogs. He's calm, cuddly, and happiest when he's near his people.

Biggie would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day. He's a true companion dog who wants nothing more than to be by your side (or in your lap!). Whether it's naptime, playtime, or just being your shadow around the house, Biggie is all in. He's got so much love to give and is looking for a family who will cherish his unique needs and bottomless heart. If you're ready to welcome a sweet, special boy into your life, Biggie is ready to love you forever.

This adorable, resilient guy joined us after his senior guardian could no longer care for him. He had some skin issues that needed care, but he's on track to have the most beautiful Pug fur soon!

Biggie is in a loving foster home that can work with his medical needs and that is around much of the day as he prefers to have his people with him. Being vision impaired doesn't slow Biggie down much but we want to ensure his next home is able to keep him safe in this regard.

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 an adult 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.

Nana prefers to be the only pet in the home.

Sweet Nana joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. Due to her senior status, they felt she would do best in a senior focused rescue to find that perfect forever family to fit her needs.

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

Honeybee is a sweet, soulful French Bulldog who's ready to leave her past behind and soak in the love of a forever home. She came to us a bit worse for wear, with some skin issues and signs that she was likely used for breeding, but don't let that fool you, this girl's spirit is as gentle and warm as her name.

Honeybee is a mellow, easygoing companion who truly just wants a soft place to land. With other dogs, Honeybee can be a little forward at first, just that classic Frenchie confidence, but she does well overall and settles in nicely once introductions are out of the way. Because of her breed and her condition, Honeybee can overheat easily. She's not built for long walks in the summer sun, but she'll thrive in a cool, comfortable home where she can relax and be pampered. Think cozy naps, short strolls in mild weather, and lots of love.

This sweet Bee joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. Due to her senior status and need for medical care, they felt she was best suited for a senior rescue.

Honeybee would love to land in a foster home all her own! Can she stay with you? She has her bags packed and is ready to land in a foster or forever home!

This sweet senior boy has been through more than his fair share, coming from a difficult hoarding situation, but you'd never know it from his gentle, loving nature. Old Man Jenkins is a true sweetheart who is ready to leave the past behind and finally enjoy the comfort and kindness he's always deserved.

He's the kind of dog who just wants a soft place to land -- a cozy bed, a calm home, and a person to love. His days are best spent relaxing near his people, soaking up affection, and enjoying the simple pleasures of life at his own easy pace. Despite everything he's been through, Old Man Jenkins has so much love left to give. He's resilient, kind-hearted, and so deserving of a home where he can feel safe, cherished, and at peace.

Old Man Jenkins joined POMDR after being rescued from a hoarding situation with 14 other dogs.

Old Man Jenkins is a calm fellow who seems to well around other pups or on his own. We think he could thrive in any home willing to give him peace and comfort. Please reach out if you think you may have a good spot for Jenkins!

Breeze is just what his name suggests: light, easygoing, and a lovely little presence to have around. This exceptionally cute small guy has a calm, gentle personality and an effortless charm that makes people fall for him instantly.

Breeze gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having canine company, but he's just as happy curling up for a long, cozy nap nearby. He's the kind of dog who fits beautifully into the rhythm of a home, bringing a peaceful, comforting energy wherever he goes. Whether he's quietly lounging in a sunny spot or trotting along beside you, Breeze is simply a nice little dog to have in your life. Sweet, adorable, and wonderfully mellow, he's ready to drift right into someone's heart.

Sweet Breeze has comforted his former guardian for many years through cancer treatments and numerous hospital stays, but after his guardian's recent decline, it became clear that he could no longer meet Breeze's needs.

Breeze is currently boarding with us. We'd love nothing more than for him to land in a loving home until he finds his forever family.

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 her 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.

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 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 joined us from Contra Costa Animal Services after she was found as a stray. Due to her medical needs 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 joined 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.

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 companion. He enjoys calm environments, soft pets, and gentle walks where he can explore the world through his nose and ears. Barnacle gets along great with other dogs as well as kitties but due to his vision limitations, a home with no stairs (inside at least) would be best. While he can navigate going up stairs surprisingly well, going down is a different story and we don't want to risk him doing so unsupervised.

Barnacle joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after he was found as a stray.

Barnacle is 'looking'... pun intended, to join a foster home that can 'see' him through adoption. He's in need of a home free of indoor stairs that can help him navigate his vision impairments.

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!

Mighty Joe is here to make lasting friendships and gets along well with other pups, but needs to go to a home where the general vibe is slow. This sweet guy was diagnosed with heart worm and needs to keep his heart rate low while he recovers.

This darling boy joined us from the Bradshaw Animal Shelter when they reached out seeking placement with a senior focused rescue that could help with his medical needs.

Malcolm (or Mac as his friends call him) is a stunning Husky boy with soulful eyes and a sensitive, thoughtful nature. He's 'not your average Husky'! This darling boy doesn't seem to know his size or breed description as he is a total lap dog and as quiet as they come! He thrives in calm, predictable environments and is described by those who know him as a 'love sponge'! He's ready to soak in all of the love you have to give him!

Malcolm is looking for a dog savvy home without other large breeds around. He does best with smaller dogs or would shine as the only dog in the home. He's a smart boy, loves treats, and is eager to please which makes this boy the perfect candidate for some future training with his next family. Malcolm would prefer a home without kitties as he does like to chase them.

Mac joined the POMDR pack from a local shelter after he was removed from concerning conditions in the home.

Malcolm is a sweet boy in need of a cozy temp foster home! He would do best in a home that can provide routine. An experienced large dog temp foster preferred. If you can help Malcolm land in a safe, loving temp foster home, please reach out!

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. She's looking for another long-term foster as her current foster's work schedule got more rigorous recently, but she would benefit from a temp foster for the few weeks her current home is traveling. Can she stay with you?

Gumdrop joined us from Contra Costa Animal Services.
