Buddy is anactive boy with plenty of personality and a serious appreciation for staying busy. He's a working boy at heart- he loves to move, explore, and get out for a good, long walk. He can be a little bouncy at times, but underneath all that enthusiasm is a sweet guy who does well with other dogs.

Buddy is looking for a home where he can be close to his person and be part of the action. He'd thrive with someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and is ready to give him lots of walks, exercise, and quality time. If you're looking for a big buddy who's ready to keep you on your toes, Buddy might just be your guy!

Buddy joins the POMDR pack after his senior guardian found that he was no longer the right home to meet Buddy's active needs.

Buddy is looking to join our program but in order to do so, we need a foster home that's ready to foster him throughout the time he is in our program until he is adopted. Can he stay with you?

Meet Tarzan & Jane! Twice the Love, Double the Joy! Tarzan and Jane are a bonded pair with hearts as big as their personalities. If you're looking for loyal companions who will fill your home with love, laughter, and unconditional affection, these two are ready to meet you.

Jane is the ultimate cuddle bug. She loves curling up next to her people and would happily spend an evening snuggled on the couch-or better yet, on your lap. Although she has very limited vision (okay, she's basically blind) she doesn't let it define her. She enjoys going for walks and, once she learns her surroundings, gets around remarkably well. Like all of us, she's not perfect, but her resilience, gentle spirit, and loving heart shine through every day.

Tarzan is full of life and always ready for the next adventure. He has one hilarious superpower: if there's an open car door, don't be surprised if he launches himself into the seat like a little Superman, convinced it's time for a road trip! To Tarzan, every car ride is another chance to be with his favorite people, and his excitement is impossible not to love.

Together, they're the perfect team. They adore each other, but they also have a funny little rivalry over one very important prize-your lap! What makes Tarzan and Jane truly special isn't just their bond with each other-it's how completely they love their humans. Whether they're joining you for a neighborhood stroll, riding shotgun on an adventure, or simply relaxing at home, they're happiest when they're by your side.

These two don't need a perfect family-because none of us are perfect. They simply need someone willing to love them for who they are. In return, they'll give you unwavering loyalty, endless affection, daily laughter, and the kind of companionship that only dogs who know they've found home can offer.

If you have room in your heart for two incredible dogs, Tarzan and Jane are ready to fill your life with twice the love, twice the joy, and a lifetime of unforgettable moments.

Tarzan and Jane joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. They were picked up as strays. Due to their senior status and Jane's vision impairments, they felt they would do best in the hands of a senior rescue.

Tarzan and Jane are in a loving foster home and are just looking for a temporary spot while they are out of town. Can they stay with you? Please reach out to us today if so!

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?

Say hello to Sweet Pea! This 12-year-old lady comes in at 20lbs and could use a little help slimming down. She is happy and gentle with new people and gets along well with dogs. She also walks very well on leash and is house-trained.

After being rescued, Sweet Pea was the faithful companion of her current guardian for 3 years. She was very well loved--perhaps getting a few too many table scraps--and loved her guardian back just as much. Now, Sweet Pea is ready to plant her roots with a new family who can continue her loving legacy.

Can Sweet Pea blossom with your tending?

Sweet Pea is looking to join the POMDR garden on 08/28/2026 and would love to go straight to a foster.

Hakuna Matata, friends Zazu is here! Named after the lovable feathered friend from The Lion King, this handsome French Bulldog is a whole lot more mellow than his namesake. Zazu is a sweet, easygoing gentleman who would much rather relax by your side than get caught up in any royal drama. He's the kind of dog who makes being around him easy. Nice, mellow, and wonderfully low-key, Zazu is happy to take things at a leisurely pace and enjoy the good life. He's got that classic Frenchie charm, with a sweet personality that makes him hard not to adore.

Zazu does have some medical needs that will require a little extra TLC while he gets back to feeling his best. He'll likely need some medicated baths and a few veterinary visits, so we're looking for a special foster home willing to help him through this next chapter. The good news? Zazu isn't asking for much, just a comfortable place to land, some patience, plenty of love. If you have room in your home and heart for a mellow little guy who needs some extra help getting back on track, Zazu would love to meet you!

Sweet Zazu comes to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services where he was picked up as a stray. Due to his medical needs, they felt he would do best in a rescue where he could get his medical care started before being adopted.

Zazu is looking to join the POMDR pack but we just have too many great dogs at the moment. He'll need a loving foster landing spot ready for him to call his own, in order to leave the shelter. Can he stay with you?

Hakuna Matata! Meet Pumba, a sweet Terrier mix with a face that has us thinking he might have a little warthog somewhere in his family tree. But don't let his tough-guy looks fool you! This little guy is as sweet as can be. Pumba is compact, adorable, and ready to leave the savanna behind in search of a loving home of his own.

He may not be the biggest guy on the block, but Pumba has a big heart and plenty of love to give. He's hoping his next adventure includes cozy naps, lots of affection, and a family who appreciates his one-of-a-kind look. He's small, he's sweet, and he's definitely got some personality. Pumba is ready to find his very own hakuna matata!

Pumba came to us from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento after being found as a stray.

Pumba is currently curled up in a cozy doggie suite with us but this doesn't compare to the love of a home. Can he stay with you? Pumba will need future rechecks through our Monterey vet clinic so his foster home would need to be local to our vet or able to bring him to and from appointments.

Small car, big personality -- that's our Mini Cooper! This adorable Yorkie may be pint-sized, but he's got plenty of charm, character, and love to spare.

Mini Cooper is proof that you don't need a lot of horsepower to go far. He's ready to cruise into his next chapter with a loving family by his side, whether that means neighborhood strolls, cozy couch rides, or simply being your favorite little copilot.

With his cute face, compact size, and classic Yorkie appeal, Mini Cooper is sure to turn heads wherever he goes. He's been waiting for someone to pull into his life and say, "Yep, that's the one!"

Mini Cooper came to us from the Animal Rescue Center of the Inland Empire after he was found as a stray.

At 8 years young, Benz still has plenty of pep in his step! He's a small package with a bright personality. He's a happy, friendly pup who enjoys people and dogs alike, and has lived with other dogs just fine.

Looking for a good travel companion? He's ready! Want to relax at home? He's happy there too!

Benz joined us from Front Street Sacramento City Animal Services after he was found as a stray. Due to the shelter's overfull status, they felt Benz would do best to find his forever family with the POMDR pack.

Pocket may be a little guy, but he has a big personality and an even bigger love for life! This adorable senior gentleman is ready to steal hearts with his scruffy good looks, happy spirit, and his favorite pastime: soaking up all the belly rubs he can possibly get. Don't let his age fool you, Pocket still has plenty of pep in his step! When he's not busy charming his favorite humans, you can find him zooming across the astroturf, racing through the grass, and showing off his tiny-but-mighty superstar energy. He's playful, silly, and always up for a little fun.

Pocket is also a dog who knows what he likes and benefits from people who understand and respect his boundaries. He's looking for a special adult-only home with someone who will give him the patience, consistency, and one-on-one attention he deserves. In the right home, we think this little guy has so much love and personality to share. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion with plenty of silly charm, a playful spirit, and an appreciation for a good belly rub, Pocket just might be your guy.

Say hello to Tamagotchi! He's just about he happiest little Chihuahua you'll ever meet! Just like the beloved '90s toy he's named after, this tiny guy is full of life, personality, and joy. When Tamagotchi sees people, his whole body lights up: tail wagging, wiggle mode activated, and smiles guaranteed all around.

Tamagotchi is incredibly sweet and affectionate, and clearly loves being around humans. He does well with other dogs, though right now he can be a bit over-the-top excited. We expect this enthusiasm to settle nicely once he's neutered through our program.

Tamagotchi joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. Due to his senior status, they felt he would do best in a senior focused rescue.

Tamagotchi is in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary spot to land while his regular foster is out of town. Would you like this sweet boy as a houseguest? If so, reach out today!

Meet Jackie, a spirited senior girl with a heart as big as her personality. Don't let her age fool you; this girl still has plenty of pep in her step. She does equally well with a 20 minute sniff-n-stroll around the neighborhood as with a 3 mile hike. She is no slouch on trail and keeps up a good clip when she's in the mood. Jackie is great on leash and wonderfully responsive to treats.

Jackie gets periodic zoomies and adores an interactive play session with her people. The game is dealer's choice; tug (she will graciously keep shoving your end of the toy back into your hand), chase-and-be-chase, Wrestlemania, she's up for pretty much anything. She does use her mouth in a playful way when the game is afoot but is responsive to redirection. Her house manners are impeccable, housetrained, and OK being left home alone when necessary.

Jackie's feelings about other dogs vary. She lives very well with her part time foster sister - a street-smart senior Chihuahua and is relatively indifferent to most other dogs but she doesn't suffer fools and is not a fan of big, over-eager youngins. As a general rule, she seems to prefer small dogs to dogs her own size. She would love to play with the Chihuahua in the house, but her tactile, enthusiastic play style combined with the size differential and the Chi's age make it an unrequited love.

She is surprisingly easy on leash for such a big, strong dog, but will do best with someone comfortable handling her size and strength, especially during those moments when her inner puppy emerges. Jackie was reportedly crate trained in her previous home but is never crated in her foster home and is the perfect housemate. She made an amazingly smooth transition to her foster home and is primed to do the same for her adopters. If you're looking for a loyal, lively companion who's equal parts affectionate, self-contained, and adventurous, Jackie might be your perfect match.

Jackie joined the POMDR pack because one of her loving guardians has dementia and is moving into assisted living. Sadly, they can't take her with them. This sweet, silly girl is looking for someone to swoop in, scoop her up, and show her that she has many more years of love ahead of her!

Joyful Jackie is in a loving foster home but just looking for a temporary landing spot while her foster travels later this year. Can she stay with you?

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.

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 is hard of hearing and has some visual impairment, but the good news is that his nose works wonderfully and helps him navigate the world with confidence. His foster reports that he currently lives happily with both cats and other dogs. Snorkel has also done well around children and enjoys large group settings.

Snorkel's happiest place is by the side of his people, and he would love a family where someone is home most of the time. A work-from-home household would truly be a dream come true for this sweet, devoted pup!

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

Snorkel's current foster could use some help while she recovers from an illness. Can you help this sweet boy during this difficult time?

Mister Winkle got his moniker from the sheer amount of hours he logged sleeping upon his arrival to our rescue. All that beauty sleep really paid off as he now happily toddles about the house, pretending he's Goldilocks, trying out every bed before settling in for a full nights sleep. Don't let this sweet little face fool you, he's nine pounds of pure perseverance and tougher than a two dollar steak, having successfully recovered from a few health setbacks over his illustrious decade of life. (Who needs teeth with a smile like that, anyways? He's very happy with his soft meals and treats.) His Cataracts don't slow down his exploring or ability to find his parents for snuggles either. Wink would also like you to know that he is a fiscally responsible fellow and has a retirement savings account of $1,500 to help offset any future vet care costs that may arise as he peacefully enjoys his sunset years by your side.

Winkle had severe dental disease when he came to POMDR and had to have all his teeth removed. He enjoys soft food at mealtime and soft treats throughout the day. Winkle has cataracts but he finds his way around the house and yard very well. Winkle had an anal sac tumor removed recently. We are hopeful that he has many more months or years ahead of him. Because of his medical situation, POMDR is offering his adopter a $1500 stipend for medical expenses.

Winkle came to POMDR from another rescue group when they discovered that his medical needs were more than they could handle. Senior dogs like Winkle with minor senior-related issues are our specialty so we were happy to bring him into our program.

Winkle is cozied up in a loving foster home and just needs a place to stay temporarily while they are out of town. Could he stay with you?

Meet Yankee Candle, a distinguished senior Pomeranian with enough fluff to make a pillow jealous. Yankee Candle has mastered the art of the leisurely stroll, the power nap, and supervising snack time like a true connoisseur. He may not bark much, but when he does, it's with style and definitely for decorative purposes. Think of him as a living, breathing, four-legged scented candle: comforting, charming, and impossible to ignore.

Yankee Candle is looking for a forever home where he can retire in comfort and style. He dreams of a life filled with cozy laps, soft blankets, and humans who appreciate the fine art of senior dog snuggles. If you're ready for a lifetime of warmth, laughter, and fluff, Yankee Candle is the perfect addition to light up your life, no flame required.

This handsome boy joined us after the San Jose Animal Care Center reached out about placing him in a more senior focused rescue.

Yankee is curled up in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary spot to land while they are out of town. Do you have room for a sweet, comforting little fluffball? Let us know!

Sweet little Snowflake is every bit as unique and dainty as her name suggests. This special senior lady came to Peace of Mind after being picked up as a stray by Hitchcock Road Animal Services in Salinas.

Once in our care, Snowflake was found to have some significant medical needs, including arthritis, multiple heart conditions, and ongoing eye care. Thankfully, this little lady hit the jackpot when she found a loving foster family who welcomed her with open arms and were happy to give her the comfort and care she deserved in her golden years. Given her medical needs, they knew she deserved a place where she could stay comfortable, cherished, and well cared for for the rest of her life. So, along with her beloved guinea pig sibling, Milkshake, Snowflake is officially home for good.

Snowflake is in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary foster to take her in while they are out of town. Would you like this sweet cuddly girl to come stay with you for a bit?

Whether she's following the sound of your voice or curling up beside you for snuggles, Bumper Car is all about connection. Despite her vision loss, she's a confident little navigator who quickly learns her surroundings.

Bumper Car is currently in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary spot while they are out of town. Please note that Bumper Car is blind and will need a foster who has a bit of patience while she figures out her new surroundings! Could that be with you?!
