Meet Mayo, a black and white Chihuahua mix with a soft, easy charm and just the right amount of mellow sweetness to match his name. He has a gentle, observant nature and tends to take in the world quietly before settling in close to his person.

Mayo enjoys cozy spots, calm companionship, and the comfort of being near someone he trusts. He's the kind of little dog who becomes a steady, sweet presence once he feels at home.

Mayo came to us from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento after he was picked up as a stray.

Mayo is ready to join the 4th of July lineup! But he still needs a foster home to start his journey. Can he stay with you?

Meet Mustard! She's got just the right amount of sweetness and spice to match her name. Small but full of personality, she has a soft, charming presence and that classic little-dog confidence that says she knows exactly how cute she is.

She's the kind of pup who's happiest nestled close to her people, soaking up affection, and being part of whatever's going on, preferably from a cozy lap or a sunny spot nearby.

Meet Antoine! In true Frenchie fashion, he's a boy with a big personality packed into a perfectly squishy little frame. This charming boy is the definition of Frenchie fun: equal parts silly, snuggly, and just a little bit dramatic in the most entertaining way. Antoine loves being close to his people but is also perfectly content hanging back at home if you need to run errands without him as your shadow.

This little guy brings a lot of heart, a lot of personality, and just the right amount of Frenchie flair to brighten any home lucky enough to have him. He's excellent with other dogs big and small, but is currently a bit overstimulated when meeting fellow canine pals. Until he is neutered, he may need to be kept solo to avoid upsetting his dog friends.

This sweet Frenchie boy came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray with severe facial swelling. Due to concern for his medical needs, we expedited the process for Antoine to join us and get the care he needed in our vet clinic.

Antoine is feeling much better and is now looking for a foster home! Can he stay with you?

Aged to Perfection - $25 Adoption Fee - This lovable lad is the definition of a perfect companion when in the right home. Whether you're heading out for a hike, spending the day at the beach, or curling up with a good book, Joe is happily along for the ride (or the nap). He's wonderfully chill when he wants to be but loves the active life as well. He's the best of both worlds!

Joe is a social little guy with a big heart. He greets everyone he meets with an enthusiastic, lightning-fast tail wag. While Joe loves to make new friends, Joe has his quirks that his adoptive home will need to learn to work with.

He has nipped in a few of his foster homes, typically when putting on his harness or being touched when he isn't ready for it. We did X-rays to see if he was experiencing pain and found out he has arthritis in both shoulders but very severe in his right shoulder. We also discovered that he had a ballistic pellet (BB? shrapnel?) lodged in his left femur. This doesn't seem to be causing any pain, but it does let us know this pup has been through some rough times. He is now on anti-inflammatory medication and pain killers, and he is doing much better. Because he has nipped and drawn some blood, we need to be extra careful about his next placement.

He can be reactive to other dogs when out on leash, but is getting much better with training. He can get along with mellow dogs (usually preferring smaller ones), but he'd most likely thrive as the only pet in the house. Because of his need for ongoing behavior support, Mighty Joe's adoption will come with a $1,000 training stipend for work with a private trainer who can assist with behavior support as he transitions to his forever home.

Darling Joe 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. He came to us heart-worm positive. He has been through the heart-worm treatment and now has a clean bill of health.

Mighty Joe is looking for a foster home to call his very own. He is cleared for more exercise than while he was on his Heartworm treatments and he's ready to get out and see the world! Looking for an active companion? Please reach out about Joe today!

Sweet Jessie is proof that age is just a number. This beautiful senior Husky has all the charm, wisdom, and love that only come with years of experience and she's ready to share it with a family of her very own.

Jessie may be in her golden years, but her heart is as big as ever. She's traded puppy mischief for companionship, loyalty, and an appreciation for lifes simple pleasures: a leisurely walk, a comfy bed, a gentle scratch behind the ears, and spending time with the people she loves.

There is something incredibly special about senior dogs. They know how to love deeply, appreciate every kindness, and make every day brighter just by being there. Jessie isn't looking for perfection, just a home where she can be cherished, spoiled, and loved for the wonderful dog she is. If you've ever considered adopting a senior, Jessie would love the chance to show you why these dogs are truly treasures. She has so much love left to give and deserves a soft landing where she can enjoy all the comfort and happiness she's earned.

Jessie was surrendered to the Los Banos Animal Shelter when her guardian was no longer able to provide the care she needed.

We would love to welcome Jessie into the POMDR pack, but before we can pull her from the shelter, we need to secure a foster who is committed to caring for her until she finds her forever home.

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. He will gladly sit in your lap too!

In his foster home, Hawk loves to enjoy a lick mat and toddle around the house following his foster mom. He is truly a mellow and consistent guy! Hawk may be older, but he is wise, affectionate, and ready to bring a lifetime of calm companionship (and a little bit of mischief) to the right home. Hawk does great around other pups but would also be happy to be a solo dog, either works for him as long as pets and attention are involved!

Hawk joined POMDR after his guardian moved to assisted living and needed help finding Hawk's next forever home.

Handsome Hawk is in a loving foster home in San Jose but will be looking for a new regular foster soon. Would you like this senior gentleman as a guest in your loving home? If so, please reach out today!
