Story
Ernie.  Once Ernie gets to know you, he can be s weet and affectionate. He is very cautious with new people and needs slow introductions. Energy Level?  Low to Medium House trained?  Yes Describe how they are on a leash?  Ernie walks well on a leash and is non-reactive. Describe how they are with other dogs?   He generally ignores other dogs while on walks. At the shelter, he participated in playgroups and did well with other dogs. When he first arrived, he didn’t get along with the resident dog, but he’s been improving as he decompresses and relaxes. He could potentially live with other dogs with proper introductions and patience. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Ignore cats we meet on walks (cats not moving); sometimes will chase a squirrel if it runs, but will continue walking easily. Commands they know?  He knows how to sit and down. What are their favorite things? Cuddles, kisses, go out for walks, and all kinds of food/treats What do they need to work on? Coping with stress - meeting new people, vet visits, visitors in the home, etc How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He is fine being left alone. He is calm and generally sleeps when left alone.   Where do they sleep? His bed What is their ideal home?  He would do best in a calm, patient home with people who understand his needs and are willing to give him the time and space to build trust and confidence. A quieter environment, with fewer visitors, would help him feel more secure as he continues to adjust. Once he feels safe, he’ll show what a genuinely wonderful, loyal boy he is.   The Adoption fee is $325.   For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs , please complete our online adoption application at  www.everypetsdream.org/adopt . W e will have everything we need to know to call you back and set up an appointment.  Follow us: Facebook and Instagram October 29, 2025, 12:19 am

Story
Looks like: Jack Russel Terrier mix Male, 5 years old (estimated), 22 pounds Oatmeal Raisin might not be the flashiest cookie in the jar, but ask anyone who knows him, he's the comforting classic you'll keep reaching for again and again! It's true. It's really hard to get enough of this sweet, easygoing boy. He's the perfectly warm, dependable, and full of little surprises that make you smile. He's a dog whose tail never stops wagging. It's like a happy little metronome, keeping time to the rhythm of joy wherever he goes. Oatmeal Raisin is great with other dogs and blends right in, no crumbling under pressure here! He's social, friendly, and enjoys being part of the pack. Whether it's playtime in the yard or a neighborhood stroll with furry friends, he's happy to join in. We have found that he's active without being wild, what a perfect balance. He'd be a fantastic walking buddy, keeping a steady pace with that constant tail wag leading the way. If you love daily walks, light adventures, and having a cheerful companion by your side, he's ready to lace up (well... leash up). This classic cookie joins us after he landed at Contra Costa Animal Services as a stray. Due to the shelter's full status and his senior age, he was the perfect addition to the POMDR pack!

Neptune is a Schnauzer Terrier mix puppy born in rescue on 10/22/25. He is currently 13 weeks old and is expected to stay under 20 lbs when fully grown. Neptune is the last remaining planet from Sol’s Solar System litter and is ready to find his forever home. He has been raised in a busy, loving foster environment with dogs, cats, adults, and kids, which shows in his calm confidence and gentle nature. While he absolutely has playful puppy moments, he leans toward being affectionate, people focused, and easy to live with. Think cuddles first, zoomies second. CompatibilityDogs: YesCats: YesKids: Yes Neptune Neptune is the soulful one. He has deep, expressive eyes and two perfectly symmetrical spots on his back that look like little wings. From the start, Neptune has been thoughtful and observant. He studies people closely, makes eye contact, and seems genuinely interested in connection. He is a calm, loving puppy who thrives on affection. Neptune enjoys playtime and has puppy spurts of energy, especially when toys come out, but he is just as happy settling in for cuddles or quietly hanging out nearby. He has a gentle confidence and a forgiving, easygoing nature that makes him a wonderful companion. Neptune is the kind of puppy who bonds deeply and makes you feel chosen.What He's Like Day to Day Neptune is well socialized and comfortable with everyday household life. He enjoys playtime, toys, and exploration, followed by long naps and cuddle sessions. He has medium puppy energy and is not nonstop go go go. He is affectionate without being demanding and playful without being overwhelming. He is still a puppy and will need continued training and guidance, but his temperament suggests he will grow into a gentle, loyal, easygoing adult dog. About Mom: Sol Sol is the calm center of this entire universe. She came into rescue already pregnant and handled motherhood with patience, structure, and zero drama. She is about 15 lbs, scruffy, sweet, and quietly hilarious. Sol raised six puppies confidently and lovingly, then gracefully stepped back once they were ready. Because of her, Neptune and Mars are secure, social, and thriving. Sol has already found her forever home. She was that amazing! If you’re looking for a puppy who is loving, gentle, and emotionally tuned in, with just enough puppy sparkle to keep life fun, Neptune may be the missing planet in your universe.February 12, 2026, 1:22 am
