Hospice Care
Sometimes when we bring a senior dog into our care, we find out they have a life threatening medical condition. For some of our dogs who are expected to live only a few months, we provide Hospice Care.
Providing Hospice Care for a dog is a big commitment and a rewarding experience. If you are interested in providing foster care for a dog for the last several months or more of their life, contact us. As with all foster assignments, POMDR will cover all medical expenses for dogs in hospice care.
Please consider becoming a sponsor for one of these sweeties.

Sophie is an adorable little teddy bear who loves her people! She enjoys walks and exploring the yard, taking in all the good smells. Sophie has been diagnosed with Cushings disease on top of quite a few other medical conditions. She will remain in her loving foster home for the rest of her life, receiving the best care to help her to stay as healthy as possible.
Sophie came to us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services after being surrendered by her guardian who could no longer care for her.

Pancho
Sweet senior Pancho came to us from Contra Costa Animal Services when they reached out for help with some seniors because their shelter was over capacity. Pancho is a loving, mellow boy who just wants to be wherever you are.
Sadly in the past few weeks, Pancho has declined significantly. He was diagnosed with cancer in his lungs. This unfortunate diagnosis paired with mobility issues from arthritis related joint pain and other health factors mean we have moved him to our hospice program. He will be cared for under the watchful eye of our vet team and soak in all of the love he can get.

Wilson
Sweet Wilson joined us from Contra Costa Animal Services after his homeless guardians came to realize they could not provide Wilson with the care he needed in his advancing age.
Wilson is a senior dog with a heart as golden as his years. Unfortunately, his severe mobility difficulties paired with numerous other medical factors including cushings, IVDD, vision loss, and some doggie dementia, we have decided that Wilson should join our hospice group. He will live out his days under the attentive care of our vet team soaking in as much love as possible.

Gemelli
Sweet, sweet Gemeli. Gemeli came to us back in early 2023 from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being picked up as a stray in rough condition. He was adopted and very much loved in his adoptive home but unfortunately his guardian fell ill and could no longer keep up with his extensive medical needs. Gemeli joins us once again for hospice support in his time of need.
Gemelli is a sweet old man who still enjoys the finer things in life- sunbathing, yummy treats, and cuddling with his humans. His hospice foster family has helped many other seniors in their time of need and will be there to support Gemeli and ensure he is well loved for whatever time he has with them.

Buddy Boy
Buddy Boy's senior guardian sadly passed away after being together for 14 years. We're eternally grateful that he can spend his days in the loving home of his foster receiving all of the specialized care he requires. In his younger days, Buddy enjoyed riding in the car and even doing zoomies from time to time!
Sweet Buddy has multiple age-related issues plus extreme anxiety that would be difficult for him to make another move. He will be cared for in his foster home for the rest of his life.

Mila
This sweet senior gal initially joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. She had clearly seen better days. We are so grateful to get miss Mila set up in a loving senior experienced foster home to give her all of the love and care she could ever need. Mila loves to snooze the day away in a nice comfy bed surrounded by the other Chihuahua friends in her foster home.
Mila has some vision impairments, arthritis, and other on-going medical needs. Fortunately, she will spend the remainder of her days very much loved and doted on in her foster home.
