Say hello to Pumpernickel, an adorable 2-year-old French Bulldog whose big, soulful eyes will melt your heart. Pumpernickel is coming into our rescue program due to a medical emergency that requires close monitoring and ongoing veterinary care. Because of his special medical needs, we are searching for a committed foster home located near our veterinary clinic. His foster family will need to be available and willing to transport him to the clinic regularly for treatment appointments.

Pumpernickel is a sweet, resilient little guy who deserves every chance at a healthy, happy future. He's a wonderful companion and will reward your care and dedication with endless affection.

If you live nearby and can open your heart and home to help this special pup on his road to recovery, please reach out to us today. Pumpernickel can't wait to meet his hero foster!

Pumpernickel will be joining the POMDR pack on July 5th and will be looking for a foster home that same day once he has been checked out by our vet staff. Ideally, Pumpernickel's foster family would be located close to our Monterey clinic. Could that be you?

Agatha may be a senior, but her heart is as full of love as ever. This precious girl has endured more than her fair share of hardship- found as a stray in heartbreaking condition, she was severely overweight, matted, and unable to stand. Her body was neglected, but not her spirit. Despite all this, Agatha has shown nothing but gentleness and love. She's calm, affectionate, and has a quiet strength that shines through. With the help of our veterinary team, she's now cleaned up, more comfortable, and already feeling better. What she needs now is a soft place to land- a warm home, a gentle routine, and someone who will love her for the incredible girl she is.

Agatha is great with other dogs and thrives on quiet companionship. She enjoys short strolls and cozy naps. Because of her heart condition, she'll need a calm lifestyle with limited exercise and weight loss support- all of which she handles like a pro.

Agatha joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was picked up as a stray in this neglectful state. Sadly, her guardians were found but they surrendered her to the shelter because they were not able to meet her medical needs.

Ready to give Agatha the comfort, dignity, and love she deserves? Agatha can't wait to meet you! Come be her hero. She's already won our hearts- now she's ready to win yours.

Agatha is currently boarding at our Monterey vet clinic but she truly can't wait to settle into a loving foster home. She's an easy keeper who is sure to make you smile.

Rye may be shy at first, but once she warms up, she's as comforting as a fresh-baked loaf. This petite pup is looking for a calm, loving home where she can rise to her full potential -- preferably one with lots of cuddles and cozy blankets.

Looking for a gentle girl with a tender crust and a heart of gold? Rye might just be your perfect match. She gets along with other dogs, but people are where she really shines.

Little Rye joined POMDR from Kern County Animal Services after she was picked up as a stray.

Rye will be joining POMDR on 7/1 and we would love for her to go straight into a foster home soon after her arrival. Are you ready to provide this girl with a cozy home until she finds her forever home? If so, please reach out today!

Dorito may have once been a SoCal dude, but he's now living the good life on the Monterey Bay! This lively little guy brings a burst of youthful energy to the POMDR family, and we can't wait for you to meet him.

Dorito loves going on "sniffaris" around the neighborhood and then kicking back on the couch with his favorite people. He might be a bit shy when meeting new folks, but he warms up quickly, especially if treats are part of the deal. Once you're in his circle, he's a total snuggle bug, loyal and loving through and through. And how could we forget those adorable, perfectly Dorito shaped ears that inspired his name? We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Dorito came to us from Ventura County Animal Services, where he helped ease overcrowding at their shelter. Now he's here, ready to find his forever home!

Dorito is currently cozied up at our Monterey Clinic and is looking for a long term foster! Would you like this little guy to come spend some time with you? If so, please reach out today!

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.

Violet joined us from the Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter. As a rescue specializing in senior dogs, we are happy to help her find her forever home!

Violet is currently in a loving foster home but will need to move foster homes soon. Would you like to open up your home and heart to this special girl?

Smiley Koda is a large bundle of energy and love! He is a young gentleman with a heart of gold, interested in long walks (or runs!), and is looking for his forever adventure buddy! This handsome boy would be a perfect fit for someone who is looking for a young energetic dog who enjoys exercise and lots of affection and love!

Koda sits on command and could benefit from a loving, patient, and understanding guardian to teach him other basic commands and how to politely walk on leash. He gets along with other dogs but does tend to bark at them when he is out on walks to let them know he wants to play. Koda would not be a good fit in a home that has cats or children.

Koda came to us after his senior guardian passed away.

Koda is a strong and sensitive pup who can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly, especially if you have treats! He's currently doing well in his foster home and has shown himself to be a sweet and loyal companion.

Koda does have one incident in his past where he bit a stranger who startled him by suddenly entering his space after a stressful vet visit. This behavior was out of character and seems to have been entirely situational. Because of this, we're looking for a foster who can be a strong advocate for Koda. Someone who understands dog body language, is mindful of his boundaries, and can help set him up for success. Koda would do best in a home without cats or kids.

If you'd like to see videos of Koda in his current foster home or have any questions about his behavior, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]

Fern is looking for a home that will give her lots of exercise - a couple of runs daily would be ideal. If you are looking for a running or hiking buddy, Fern would love to be your gal.

Fern has an active mind. She is learning the difference between what she is allowed to play with and what is off limits. She is very good at entertaining herself by dragging large dog beds around the house. She loves other dogs, and she is intrigued by cats, but doesn't hurt them.

People outside of her usual pack are scary. She is skittish in places she doesn't know and jumps at sudden sounds. She currently lives in a remote area and will likely adjust once she has more positive experiences.

Fern was found as a stray in a rural area of Monterey County, and sadly no one came looking for her. We can't wait for this beautiful girl to bond with her people and blossom in time!

Fern is currently in a loving and active foster home and she is just looking for a temporary spot while they are out of town. If you are looking for a four-legged running buddy, do not look any further, Fern is your girl! Please keep in mind that Fern is very skittish around new people and may take a bit to warm up to you. However, once she knows you, she will love you with all of her heart!

Mattie had been through a lot in his time before joining us here at POMDR. The poor boy has several medical concerns, including some touchy masses when he came in and a diagnosis of Cushings disease. Despite all of the discomfort he must be in, this boy is an absolute angel! He doe well around other dogs and is super food motivated!

Mattie happens to be the sweetest boy, he doesn't ask or need for much! He loves to follow you around to make sure he's not missing out on the action. Mattie also does well being left alone, always greeting his foster mom with a wagging tail when she comes home.

Mattie joined us from Los Banos Animal Services after being found as a stray. They realized it was in Mattie's best interest to land with a rescue to address the ruptured masses and skin issues he came in with. We're happy to report that Mattie is on the path to a whole new life! We hope you can join him along his journey.

Mattie is looking for a cozy landing spot to stay starting in early August. He's a quiet guy and an easy keeper! Could he stay with you?

Zelda is a tiny but mighty, loving little lady looking for her forever home. She loves being carried in her foster mom's pouch, and is always content to toddle around the yard in the sun. Zelda loves to be the center of attention, and we think she would do best in home without other dogs.

Zelda recently had one of her eyes removed, and is healing like a total champ. She would love nothing more than to live out her golden years in a warm and loving home.

Zelda came to POMDR from Santa Clara County Animal Services.

Zelda is currently hanging out in a loving foster home with a few other pups but she is looking to find a new home where she can be the only apple of someone's eye! Could that be with you?!
