It's true that Dorito used to be a SoCal Dude, but he's making a big move to the Monterey Bay! Dorito brings an exciting and youthful energy to the POMDR program. We can't wait for you to meet him! This spunky little dude enjoys sniffaris around the neighborhood and chillaxing on the couch with his favorite people. Dorito's namesake comes from his adorable and perfectly dorito shaped ears, which we hope you all enjoy as much as we do!

Dorito joins us from Ventura County Animal Services in an attempt to alleviate overcrowding.

Beautiful Buttercup is a strong independent lady all her own. This sweet little one enjoys the company of her people but also enjoys doing her own thing. She enjoys taking in the signs and smells around her on a walk or during some yard time. She does well with other dogs although, doesn't show much interest in engaging with them.

Buttercup joins us after she was surrendered to a local vet office when her guardians found that her care was too much for them to continue to their own medical needs.

Buttercup is joining us for evaluation next week. We'd love to have a foster lined up for her to land with someone that same day.

Miss Macy is not your average Cattle Dog, this girl is as chill as they come. No working for this working breed. She'd love to join you for a cozy couch snuggle or for a nice walk on the town. Her personality is truly as darling as she looks. She gets along well with other dogs big and small and is so loving with everyone she meets!

Macy joins POMDR from Ventura County Animal Services. Their shelter was at maximum capacity so the POMDR team went down to grab a few of their senior dogs to help find them their loving forever homes!

Macy is currently boarding at our Monterey vet clinic awaiting her incredible foster, or better yet, adoptive home!

Meet sweet Pauly D, a senior with a heart full of gold. Pauly D was dealt an unfortunate hand when it comes to his health but that doesn't mean this boy does not deserve to live out the remainder of his life being spoiled and loved! The poor boy has been diagnosed with a heart murmur and enlarged heart, along with a variety of other ailments. If giving a pup with medical needs a second chance is your calling, then look no further, Pauly D is your boy.

"Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!" Meet the fluffy pup who lives up to her name in the most fantastic way! Miss Frizzle is as quirky as her namesake and just as much fun to be around! Unfortunately, this sweetheart will be getting a leg amputation due to an old injury that never healed quite right. The good news is that she is already accustomed to hopping around on three legs, so we know she will do just fine post-surgery. We can't wait to see how she does in her new forever home.

This silly girl has a personality that makes everyone smile. She is super playful with people and other dogs, and loves to romp around the yard. We think she would make an excellent family dog!

Miss Frizzle joined us from Contra Costa Animal Services. She was taken into their care after she was found to be needing some support that her family was not able to provide for her.

Miss Frizzle is hanging out at our vet clinic while she recovers from a bit of kennel cough but she should be ready to land in a foster home around April 25th. We would love for her to land in a loving foster home as soon as she is cleared to do so. Could that be with you?

Her name was Lola, she was a Chihuahua girl. She loves to wear feathers in her hair and doggie dresses she will wear! While Lola's showgirl days may be behind her, she's an absolute star in her peoples eyes! This lovely senior lady is looking for a loving landing spot after bouncing around to a few homes in the past. Lola has some slight vision impairments that come with her senior status but that doesn't slow her down one bit. Lola gets along well with other dogs but people are really where she shines.

Lola joins Peace of Mind as a guardian surrender. Her former guardian lost her job and found that Lola needed a more stable home to land in.

Little miss Lola will be joining the POMDR family on Friday, May 7th. We would love for her to land in a loving foster home that day that she could call her own.

Darling Daffodil (Daffy for short) is a quirky, silly little lady ready to charm your socks off!

Bindi is a young puppy who was picked up as a stray in Salinas. This poor girl was found hobbling around experiencing some obvious neurological issues. Poor thing! We can't even imagine her out in the big world by herself.

Bindi is searching for a family with people who can be home with her much of the day as she does topple over and has a challenging time getting back up. She will also need baths more regularly than your average pup as she sometimes topples into her potty piles. While Bindi has already been through so much in her short life, she still has so much to learn. Puppy socialization is so critical to lifelong behavior and skills for any dog so we want to ensure Bindi's next home is up for her medical needs up as well as meeting her socialization and exposure needs as a growing puppy.

Bindi joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. While Bindi isn't our usual senior dog, she was out of options due to her medical need. With no other rescues able to take her in, we decided Bindi was destined to become a POMDR pup!

Bindi is looking for a special foster home who can be with her much of the day and support her on her medical journey. She is wobbly on her feet and topples over easily.

Sugar Plum Fairy is ready to dance right into her new forever home. She is 100% wiggles and tail wags when she's around people, and would do anything to be held close. Sugar Plum Fairy (or SPF for short) seems to do great around other dogs as well.

We are amazed at how happy-go-lucky and resilient she is. Our vet clinic is currently working to determine what kind of eye issues she is dealing with, and believe she is near totally blind. She may need to have her eyes removed to make sure she is comfortable. Our vet staff is monitoring her eyes closely. SOF's blindness doesn't stop her from being the happiest pup in the room, though! We think she would make a great addition to any home that is relatively easy to navigate. Prior blind dog experience is a plus! Apply for SPF today and bring bundles of joy into your life.

Sugar Plum Fairy came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being picked up as a stray.

Sugar Plum Fairy has had a really rough go of things, but you would never know it from her personality. We know she is going to make any home brighter with her presence. Can you give a her a warm landing spot as we look for her forever home? SPF is currently cuddled up in a temporary foster home but will need a new landing spot starting on 5/19!

Prince Charming is a lovable, tail wagging pup who is eager to meet you! He's a total heartthrob, always ready to shower you with kisses and affection. This sweet boy enjoys going on sniffari adventures with his people and letting his nose lead the way! He knows basic commands and has done wonderfully around other dogs at our office, making him a joy to be around.

When Prince Charming first arrived, he was carrying a painful wound on his lower back. But thanks to the incredible care from our devoted clinic staff, he's fully healed and ready to give you all the love and attention you could ever want. Despite everything he's been through, he's a true sweetheart who's just waiting for his forever home.

Prince Charming would be the perfect companion for fun adventures during the day and cozy snuggles at night. He does tend to get a little too excited around cats, so he would do best in a home without them.

Prince Charming came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services, and now he's hoping to find someone special to share his heart with. Could it be you?

Prince is looking for his lucky landing spot to call his own. He is currently in a foster home but needs to move from that home.

Looking for a pair of pawsome companions who know how to live their best life? Dancer and Hawk are here to steal your heart and show you that age is just a number when it comes to love, joy, and finding the perfect nap spot. Dancer is the graceful lady who enjoys leisurely walks, cuddles, and basking in the sunshine, while Hawk is the playful, goofy guy who's always up for a game of fetch or a good zoomie session. Together, they balance each other perfectly.

This bonded pair is ready to share their golden years with a family that will love them unconditionally. They're mellow, loving, and all about snuggling up after a day of adventures. Dancer and Hawk will bring warmth, laughter, and loads of affection into your home.

These two beautiful balls of fluff joined us after their guardian grew ill and was no longer able to care for them.

Hawk and Dancer will be joining the POMDR family in April. The exact date of their entry to our program is not set yet as they are hoping to stay with their guardian as long as possible. We'd love to have a landing spot ready for them when they are ready to enter the program.

Winkle was named after Rip Van Winkle because of how much he slept when he came into our program (22 hrs a day!), and in the hopes that he would one day feel better and "wake up." We are happy to report that after he had all his medical issues addressed at our clinic, he "woke up" and really started to enjoy life.

Now he loves taking leisurely walks and toddling around the house and yard. He likes to find his foster parents and nuzzle them for love. He will follow his foster parents around and hang out where the other dogs are. In the evenings, he prefers some lap time before bed. He sleeps well through the night. He will test out all the dog beds in the house!

Winkle had severe dental disease when he came to POMDR and had to have all his teeth removed. He enjoys soft food at mealtime and soft treats throughout the day. Winkle has cataracts but he finds his way around the house and yard very well. Winkle had an anal sac tumor removed recently. We are hopeful that he has many more months or years ahead of him. Because of his medical situation, POMDR is offering his adopter a $1500 stipend for medical expenses.

Winkle came to POMDR from another rescue group when they discovered that his medical needs were more than they could handle. Senior dogs like Winkle with minor senior-related issues are our specialty so we were happy to bring him into our program.

Landline is cozied up in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary foster while they are out of town.

Since landing in a loving foster home, with its caring and peaceful environment, handsome Bobby has been able to decompress and has really come out of his shell. This super sweet and lovable guy experienced some bullying from other dogs in the shelter, and while he can still get scared occasionally, he walks well on leash and greets new dogs with a quick, polite sniff. He has also done well with other dogs visiting his foster home! He greatly appreciates having his very own pooch support person and quickly and closely bonds with his human companion, but he is also always open to meeting new people. When he is in the mood, he sometimes performs hilarious "sing-alongs" with his foster mom and he very much likes to sleep and snuggle under the covers with her at night. We have not yet had the opportunity to see how he behaves around cats or children, but given his reserved and gentle nature, we assume that he would do just fine. Bobby's favorite activity is to walk around with his beloved triple flavor twist sticks and hide them in top secret locations around the house! How cute is that?!

Bobby is a low-maintenance sweetheart, and he would love to find a safe and quiet home with a nice cushy bed where he can curl up and just be near you. He will follow you around, making sure that he does not lose track of you. He is fine when home alone now and then, but is also up for coming along on car rides. As time goes by, we expect Bobby to become more and more confident in regards to meeting other dogs. Until then, he would prefer to be the only dog in the home. We can't wait to see him making the best of his second chance in life.

Bobby joined us from Kern County Animal Services.

Bobby is looking for a temp foster while his current foster is out of town. Can he come and cuddle with you?!
