Story
Looks like: Shih Tzu Female, 13 years old (estimated), 14 pounds 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. Astrid joined us from the Sacramento County Bradshaw Shelter. They felt that a rescue specializing in seniors would help Astrid find her perfect home.

Story
Meet Stuart! Stuart came to AFRP with a broken leg (ouch!) but bounced back like the absolute legend he is. Now he’s fully healed and ready to find his forever humans… preferably ones ready for endless cuddles, sloppy kisses, and occasional stuffy destruction. This Shepherd mix has no idea how big he is—but he doesn’t care. Your lap? Too small? Perfect, he’ll make it work. No couch cushion is safe from his gangly charm. He’s a professional stuffy un-stuffer, obsessed with bones, and will happily destroy his Kongs in record time! Stuart loves other dogs and dreams of a home with a playful pup buddy, but his humans are still #1. He’s potty trained, crate trained, walks well on leash, and even graduated from an eight-week training course with Unchained (yes, he’s smart enough to pull off the himbo look and know his basic commands). His perfect home? Experienced humans who get that himbos are big, silly, loveable, and sometimes a little clumsy. Adult adopters or families with kids over 6 would be ideal. Cats? Unknown at this time, but may do well with slow intros! ** This pet is a Foster-to-Adopt candidate! That means you can foster them for a short trial period to make sure they’re the perfect match for your home before finalizing the adoption. If you’re interested, please complete both a foster application and an adoption application so we can get the process started. ** Stuart is currently in a loving foster home. A meet and greet can be scheduled once an online application has been submitted and approved by AFRP staff. Visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org to fill one out today!

Story
Looks like: Papillon mix Female, 10 months old (estimated), 6 pounds Bindi is a young, medically challenging 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 most 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. She seems to love being around other, gentle dogs and she even gets the zoomies! She would do best in a home with minimal obstructions as she can get stuck in odd places when she's exploring. While we think her vision is impaired, she is still able to navigate her surroundings once she learns them. Bindi has come a long way in the past few months with her loving foster. We are excited to share that Bindi was assessed by a neurologist and received an MRI. Bindi will likely be a special needs dog her whole life, stemming from malnourishment early in her development. They don't, however, think this is causing her any pain! We are hopeful her balance and general wellbeing will continue to improve with a balanced diet and comfortable lifestyle. She may also benefit from physical therpay for balance. If you are interested, please watch the video at the end of her profile here for a closer look at her symptoms. Please note that she is always kept in a safe and monitored environment here, and she is able to get herself back up and keep her head safe when falling. While Bindi has already been through so much in her short life, she still has much to learn. Puppy socialization is critical to lifelong behavior and skills for any dog, so we want to ensure Bindi's next home is up for meeting her medical needs as well as her socialization and exposure needs as a growing puppy. Bindi joined 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!

Story
Looks like: Chihuahua, Beagle mix Male, 9 years old (estimated), 20 pounds Moose is a sweet Chihuahua mix with a calm spirit and an easygoing charm that makes him the perfect companion for just about anyone. He's that rare gem of a dog who settles in quickly, keeps things peaceful, and is happy simply being near his people. We have found Moose to be naturally mellow and gentle, low-maintenance and easy to please. He enjoys quiet company and cozy naps. Moose isn't demanding -- he just wants a soft spot to rest, a friendly human to love, and a place where he can feel safe and settled. He's an easy fit whether you're a first-time dog adopter or a seasoned pet parent looking for a calm companion. If you're searching for a low-key, lovable little buddy who's as simple as he is sweet, Moose might be your perfect match. Come meet this mellow boy and let him melt your heart! This darling boy joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. Due to the shelter's full kennels and his senior status, they felt he would do best in a senior-focused rescue to find his forever family.

Story
Looks like: Husky Male, 8 years old (estimated), 50 pounds Malcolm (or Mac as his friends call him) is a stunning Husky boy with soulful eyes and a sensitive, thoughtful nature. He's 'not your average Husky'! This darling boy doesn't seem to know his size or breed description as he is a total lap dog and as quiet as they come! He thrives in calm, predictable environments and is described by those who know him as a 'love sponge'! He's ready to soak in all of the love you have to give him! Malcolm is looking for a dog savvy home without other large breeds around. He does best with smaller dogs or would shine as the only dog in the home. He's a smart boy, loves treats, and is eager to please which makes this boy the perfect candidate for some future training with his next family. Malcolm would prefer a home without kitties as he does like to chase them. Mac joined the POMDR pack from a local shelter after he was removed from concerning conditions in the home.
