Meet Peanut Butter, the sweetest treat you'll ever meet! Named after the classic cookie flavor we all adore, Peanut Butter is just as rich, sweet, and impossible to resist. This darling pup has a heart as soft as fresh-baked dough and melts right into you the moment you scoop her up. Hold her close and she'll settle in like she was made to fit there -- warm, comforting, and oh-so-sweet.

Peanut Butter has the most polite way of asking for love. She'll ever so gently place her paws on you, as if to say, "Excuse me... may I have a cuddle, please?" It's her signature move, and it works every time. She's affectionate without being pushy. Peanut Butter is also wonderfully playful and loves a good romp. Toss her a toy and watch her bounce with joy. She's excellent with other dogs, making her a perfect addition to a multi-pup household.

Peanut Butter joined us after she found herself at Contra Costa Animal Services as a stray. Due to the shelter's full status and her senior age, she was the perfect addition to the POMDR pack!

Macy is a gentle, easygoing girl who's all about the simple joys in life. She's a calm, sweet dog who doesn't ask for much, just a comfy spot to relax and a human to keep her company.

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.

At 10 years old and 87 pounds of solid, lovable bulldog, Blu is a gentle soul who has clearly lived a life full of love and is ready for a soft place to land. He has a heart murmur, some ongoing skin issues, and arthritis, which means his days are best spent moving slowly, soaking up warmth, and being cared for by someone who understands that seniors deserve extra tenderness.

Blu's favorite things are simple and perfect: daily snuggles, leisurely sunbathing, and being close to his people. He is incredibly sweet with humans and does wonderfully with other dogs, making him an easy, comforting presence in the home.

Tarzan and Jane are a bonded pair who just couldn't possibly get any sweeter. Tarzan is a sweet, gentle boy with a tender heart. Jane, his devoted partner, is also incredibly loving but has very limited vision. And this is where their story truly shines: Tarzan is Jane's rock and her guide. He helps her navigate the world, offering comfort, confidence, and quiet reassurance wherever they go. Where she hesitates, he leads. Where she's unsure, he stands close.

Together, Tarzan and Jane face long odds through no fault of their own. They don't need much, just a safe, quiet home, soft beds, and someone willing to open their heart to two dogs who have already proven how deeply they can love. If you've ever thought about doing something truly meaningful, please consider opening your heart to this sweet pair.

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.

With age, this Beanie Baby has definitely increased her treasure status. She is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and loving, and soaks up attention like a pro. Whether snuggled up in your lap, following you from room to room, or giving you her signature adoring look, this girl is all about connection. Her happy place is right by your side. True to her Chihuahua roots, Beans is very loyal and bonds deeply with the people close to her and she needs a little time to warm up to folks outside of that inner circle. If it was up to her, the entire day would involve sitting on laps, cuddling up tight, and being part of all daily activities. Her specialty move is claiming the highest point in the living room (aka the top of the couch). On leashed walks, she has quite the pep in her step and with her foster family she has even completed a 5K walk. She likes to come along on car rides and will calmly sit in your lap. Her interactions with other dogs are mostly friendly indifference.

Beanie Baby would thrive in a calm, predictable household with someone who is home most of the time and enjoys having a constant companion. She does best when she feels secure and connected, and she benefits from consistency, patience, and gentle reassurance as she settles into new environments. Beanie Baby is ready to be your perfect little sidekick! All she wishes for is a family who will shower her with affection and go out on little adventures now and then.

Adorable Astrid gets along well with other dogs both big and small, always greeting with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. She'd love to land in a warm home with a person who can give her all the cuddles and snuggles she desires.

This sweet squishy faced little lady has lived quite the life. We don't know what her days were like prior to joining POMDR, but she has definitely been through a lot. Astrid was found as a stray, a matted mess with numerous medical concerns. She has lost both of her eyes, but is learning to navigate the world like a champ. We can't wait to see Astrid's glow-up and to see her days improve in time.

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.
