Freckles is a charming Pointer with the cutest speckled face and a heart of pure gold. This distinguished gentleman may have a few gray hairs, but he still greets every day with a tail wag and a sparkle in his eye.

Freckles loves going for walks and prancing around the yard where he can sniff to his heart's content, followed by long, lazy naps in a sunny spot (preferably right next to you!). He is friendly, mellow, and ready to soak up all the love you have to give. If you are looking for a loyal buddy to share your couch, your snacks, and your heart, Freckles is your guy. He bonds quickly to people and will do anything for a good scratch.

Sweet, mellow Violet is just looking for a quiet retirement home where she can lay her head. Violet landed at a busy shelter in the Sacramento area, matted beyond belief and so scared. We're happy to have her join us here at POMDR for a soft transition before finding her forever family. Could that be you?

Violet gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children! She might have a little vision loss, but still gets around well. She enjoys lounging in a warm dog bed and being by her person's side. We think she would make a great addition to any calm and loving home.

Bradley loves to nap in the warm sun, curl up in fuzzy blankets, and seek out the coziest spots in the house to unwind. When he's not indulging in relaxation, he enjoys playing fetch with his human, although he's still mastering the art of letting go when it's time to return the ball. He has a beloved stuffed toy named Lambie, which he loves to carry around, and he won't go to bed until he's tucked Lambie in too. His playful spirit and appreciation for comfort make him the perfect companion for someone who enjoys the simple pleasures.

Bradley is a little guy with a big heart, but it does take him a little while to warm up to new people. He has nipped at people he does not know when stressed. Once he warms up to you and feels safe, he is all in and loves a good snuggle. If you've had a shier dog in the past, you probably know the kind of patience it takes to win over a dog like Bradley. And that it is totally worth the loyal devotion that follows.

He can peacefully co-exist with canine siblings who respect his space, but he doesn't have any experience with cats. Because of his shy nature, his ideal home would be a quiet place without young children.

This sweet boy joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after he was picked up as a stray. He was overwhelmed by the environment at the shelter and was not doing well. We were happy to welcome him into the program and offer him a soft landing spot.

Bradley is looking for a temp foster while his regular foster is out of town. He will need to be in a home where people respect his boundaries and are home most of the time as he gets sad being left out of all the fun!

Sweet Wilson joined us from Contra Costa Animal Services after his homeless guardians came to realize they could not provide Wilson with the care he needed in his advancing age.

Wilson is a senior dog with a heart as golden as his years.
