Story
Looks like: Maltese mix Female, 8 years old (estimated), 13 pounds Dottie is a very gentle and mellow little lady who will immediately invite anyone she meets to give her belly rubs or pick her up. And who could ever resist petting her silky and beautiful coat? Her natural black lipstick is probably one of her most adorable features, along with her serious snoring and wild REM dreams. In spite of her blindness, she navigates her surroundings amazingly well, although she needs a bit of a guiding hand on slow leashed walks in unknown territory. This sweet girl gets excited when she catches a whiff of another dog nearby, then follows her nose to go sniffing for them. She can be a bit clumsy and may accidentally bump into other dogs, sometimes to the surprise of all involved. She does not have any known experience with small children and would prefer to live in a calm and predictable household. Miss Dottie has tons of joy and love to share and is looking for human companions who will make her golden years extra special and are understanding of her needs. She would like you to know that car rides make her pretty nervous and being left home alone makes her anxious. She would love to find someone who is equally content spending lots of quality snuggle time at home, would enjoy toddling around the yard together, or going for slow strolls in the surrounding neighborhood. This 13+ pound nugget needs to get picked up and carried around a bit and she would also appreciate continued potty training. Her foster family likes to brush her luxurious curls every day and, above all, just love her to pieces. Dottie came to us from Hollister Animal Services so that she could get the medical care she needs.

Story
Looks like: Maltese, Poodle Mix Male, 14 years old (estimated), 19 pounds Buddy Boy is looking for his forever pal. Could that be you? Buddy is a gentle senior fellow who is a little hard of hearing and starting to lose his eye sight, but if you lay a blanket or towel down on the couch, he will see that as his spot and is ready to cuddle up and nap the day away! Buddy does great around other dogs and has lived with many canine companions over the years. He used to live with a cat as well. He has also lived with children, but in his senior years, he prefers a quieter home and would love to find someone with whom he can share a peaceful retirement. He loves riding in the car and gets short spurts of zoomies, running around with his soft toys! Buddy can be quite nervous in new situations and meeting new people, so slow and gentle greetings are a must. But he loves people! Once he's met you and gotten some snuggles, you're in his circle! He'll follow you around asking for pets and will even paw at you for attention. Sadly, Buddy Boy's senior guardian recently passed away after being together for the past 14 years. He came to POMDR to find his next cuddle buddy.

Story
Looks like: Maltese, Havanese mix Male, 10 years old (estimated), 11 pounds Hello there, I'm Caspian, and I'm here to share my story with you. While I may not see the world as most dogs do, I've learned to navigate it with grace and a heart full of love. You see, I may be sight-impaired, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying life to the fullest. When it comes to leash walks, I may not be the most coordinated, but I do my best, taking in the scents and sounds around me with every step. One thing you should know about me is that I'm a true friend to all creatures, both big and small. I get along with other dogs and even those mysterious creatures called cats. I'm always ready to shower my affection on anyone who opens their heart to me. My energy level is on the mellow side, but don't let that fool you-I have my moments of excitement, especially when I'm out on a 'sniffari', exploring the world with my nose. I'm not super-interested in toys, but I'm always up for a good snuggle session. And speaking of snuggling, I'm a pro at it! There's nothing I love more than curling up next to my favorite human for some quality cuddle time. And treats? Well, let's just say I'm not one to turn down a tasty snack, especially if it's offered with a kind word and a gentle touch. So, what's my ideal day? It's simple, really-snoozing in a comfy bed, enjoying exploring my surroundings with my nose, and basking in the love of my forever family. If you're looking for a gentle soul to join your home, I just might be the perfect fit. With my easygoing personality and sweet nature, I'm ready to bring joy and companionship to your life. So why wait? Come meet me, and let's start our journey together! I came to join Peace of Mind after first landing at the Hollister Animal Shelter but they thought Peace of Mind could best address my medical needs.

Story
Meet Bear! Age ain’t nothin’ but a number for this little fella! He is 10 years young and is full of pep! He truly doesn’t show his age! Due to no fault of his own, his owners had to quickly find him a home as they were losing theirs. We luckily had a landing place for him to catch up on grooming and medical while he found his forever! I mean look at that haircut 😍 (thank you Sarah)! He is a very sweet boy who still has a lot of energy and enjoys long walks and cuddles! He has always been an only fur child so he would prefer to keep it that way! He loves toys, treats and truly aims to please! His ideal home would be someone who is home and truly wants an active companion who will love him all the rest of his years! He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped and neutered! Bear is about 9 years old. Send in your adoption application today!
