Story
Meet Tom Tom, the undisputed champion of play, self-appointed Toy Inspector, and professional speed-racer. If you have a squeaky toy, a tennis ball, or an active lifestyle, Tom Tom is already 100% convinced you two are soulmates.This handsome, energetic boy is packed with personality, endless enthusiasm, and a heart pure enough to melt a glacier. He thrives on staying busy, loves learning new tricks, and thinks brain-games are the best invention since the peanut-butter-stuffed Kong.What Makes Tom Tom So Special:Playtime Professional: His dedication to inspecting, tossing, and retrieving toys is a full-time job-and he takes his work very seriously (and hilariously).Smart Cookie: Tom Tom genuinely loves training time. He treats learning like a fun game and is always eager to show off how clever he is.Heart on His Sleeve: Beneath all that bouncy energy is a loyal, loving dog who just wants to bond deeply with his human.The Real Talk (Training & Care):Tom Tom is a bit reactive when encountering the big, busy world. He gets easily overwhelmed or overly excited around certain triggers, meaning he needs a patient, understanding partner who can guide him with confidence. The good news? He has already made fantastic progress with us and is coming along so well! To ensure a seamless transition and keep his amazing momentum going, his adoption includes a free private training session with a professional trainer.Tom Tom doesn't need a perfect world-just a loving, patient companion who is ready for fun, committed to ongoing positive training, and open to receiving a lifetime of boundless affection in return.Ready to add a whole lot of joy, laughter, and energy to your home? Tom Tom can't wait to meet you!I'm currently available for adoption by appointment, so If you'd like to learn a little bit more about me please call our behavior hotline number at (831) 264-5422.Special Needs: Because of my breed, I'll need regular grooming appointments to keep my coat healthy and comfortable. Without them, my fur can get matted or overgrown, which can lead to infections, and trust me, that makes me feel pretty yucky. Keeping me well-groomed helps me feel my best!

Story
Looks like: Maltese, Terrier mix Male, 12 years old (estimated), 5 pounds Adventure is out there! And Carl is ready to find his! Named after the beloved grumpy-but-sweet gentleman from Up, our Carl is a much smaller and considerably fluffier version, but he shares one very important quality with his namesake: he's a wonderful old soul with a whole lot of heart. Carl is a sweet, gentle, and genuinely nice little guy who seems to appreciate the simple things in life. He's easygoing and affectionate, with the kind of calm presence that makes you want to scoop him up and take him home. Carl isn't looking for a life filled with wild adventures these days. His idea of a perfect day is likely something a little more relaxed, some gentle exploring, plenty of cozy time with his people, and knowing he has a soft place to land at the end of the day. This little gentleman has so much love left to give, and we'd love to see him spend his golden years surrounded by people who appreciate what makes senior dogs so special. Little Carl joins us from San Jose Animal Care And Services after he was found as a stray.

Her sense of smell and hearing are top-notch, and she uses them like a pro to explore, adapt, and find her favorite cozy spots.

If you're looking for a lovable sidekick who will warm your heart, make you laugh, and remind you daily that joy has no limits -Bumper Car is your girl. Bumper Car came to us from the Sacramento Animal Shelter after being found as a stray, but you'd never guess her past by her joyful spirit. She's already left the shelter life in her past and is ready to settle into a forever home where she'll be cherished for the sweet little treasure she is.

Story
Looks like: Maltese Female, 13 years old (estimated), 10 pounds Rita is a gal with a heart full of love and a calm, easygoing charm. She's the kind of companion who's happiest in the simple moments: cozy snuggles, gentle strolls, and quietly keeping you company just because she loves being near you. Rita is always ready to settle in close at your feet, beside you on the couch, or wherever her favorite person happens to be. She doesn't ask for much, just your presence, patience, and a soft spot to land. She's cat friendly and has done well living with feline housemates. Rita is gentle and sensitive and prefers not to be picked up or moved abruptly, and with consistency and care, she settles in beautifully. Her twice-daily medication is part of her routine and she does well when it's thoughtfully tucked into meals. Rita came to POMDR after her guardian moved into assisted living and could no longer care for her. Now she's ready for her next chapter, a quiet, loving home where she can share her steady devotion, soft companionship, and endless sweetness.
