Say hello to Clove, a snuggly sweetheart who is as warm and comforting as his name suggests. With his soft coat and tender heart, Clove is a lovely little companion to curl up with on a crisp autumn evening.

Clove is gentle and affectionate, but he is also a sensitive soul who needs calm, patient people willing to go slow and let him set the pace especially when it comes to handling. Once he feels safe and understood, his loving nature really shines. He enjoys quiet moments, peaceful neighborhood strolls, and simply being near his person, soaking up affection in a way that feels comfortable for him.

Curious Clove came to POMDR from San Jose Animal Care and Services.

Clove is patiently waiting for his forever home, and in the meantime, he is hoping to find a kindhearted foster who will meet him with patience, respect, and love. Could that be you?

Suki's name comes from the Japanese word for loved one, and it fits her perfectly. This sweet girl has a gentle, mellow soul and a calm presence that makes you want to sit beside her and tell her everything will be okay.

Suki seems a little sad right now, understandably, as she's had to say goodbye to a life she once knew. She enjoys peaceful moments, cozy spots, and the simple comfort of kind company. What Suki wants most is a fresh start: a patient, loving home where she can feel safe, cherished, and truly chosen. With time and love, her heart is ready to bloom again.

Suki joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray.

Suki will be joining our program on Tuesday, 1/20. We'd love for her to land in a home of her own shortly after her arrival. Can she stay with you?

Panda is the best of both worlds: a perfect homebuddy and a big-time outdoor adventurer! While this sweet girl loves to be at home with her people, she also enjoys a quick 5-mile trail walk at an aerobic clip. The list of her endearing and goofy qualities is long, so to name but a few, she is very gentle, loyal, super affectionate, majorly snuggly, the queen of silly noise-making, ignorant of personal space, and oh so very lovable. She welcomes every stranger that comes to the door with a flamboyant happy dance and effusive tail wags. When she gets excited, she can be very talkative, sounding like a cross between a baby dinosaur and Chewbacca, though she very rarely barks. Her foster family is ensuring that Panda is catching up on all the joyous things in life, including being allowed on the couch for cuddles, sleeping in bed with her favorite person, soft blankets in every room, riding shotgun on car trips, and getting plenty of treats for being such a good girl. She is well behaved when left home alone, but she would much rather tag along wherever you go.

Miss Panda's canine friends range from a cranky 16.5-year old Chihuahua housemate to a young, very social Pyrenees-mix walking buddy. True to her pit bull roots, she is very strong and smart, and thrives when she gets plenty of exercise and ongoing training. She is happiest when she can be part of all the family activities and will show off her big, charming smile. Panda is eager to please and she is more than ready for her forever home, a nurturing place where she will be adored for the gentle, loving soul she is.

Panda joined POMDR after the wonderful team at the Hollister Police and Animal Care Services reached out to see if we could help find this sweet senior girl a soft place to land.

Panda is as lovable as they come but she is showing herself to have an extreme prey drive. She's looking for a home that can manage this and keep her safe.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. If you are interested in hosting Spork please let us know!

Looking for that special someone who makes you feel like you're the most wonderful being on the planet, warms your heart, and keeps you laughing? Let us introduce you to Newt-ie-Tootie (or as his foster calls him, Pete Davidson!) When out meeting and greeting his fans on walks, Newt is constantly swooned over and called "the sweetest dog". However, you'll want to be sure to keep a good hold of the leash in case a squirrel or bird or leaf blows by as Newt's enthusiasm for a good chase and good fun knows no bounds. If you've watched episodes of "Saturday Night Live" showcasing our dear friend, Pete Davidson, rap, well, Newt can bust out some pretty rockin' tunes, too. However, Newt does his soulful renditions of love songs when you are away. Car ride? Visit to the feed store to load up on more snacks? You bet - Newt is your guy! This guy figured out that it's the simple pleasures that bring joy: several walkies a day, lots of "together time", and relaxing moments lounging in the yard in a sunny spot.

While Newt did come to us with some hair loss, medicated baths, good food, allergy meds, and fish oil supplements are doing wonders for his coat and skin. We can't wait to see his continue to blossom in his new furever home. Apply to adopt Newt today!

Newt joined us from the SPCA of Monterey County, where they found he needed a more senior specific audience to find his forever family.

Sweet little Newt is in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary spot to land while they are out of town. Do you have space for this little guy in your home and heart?
