Story

Nirai (means calm) and her 4 friends were all dumped in the streets of Fremont. They were all neglected dirty and very matted. She is more timid and nervous than the others. Needs more time to decompress and feel safe at her foster home. The shelter had her shaved down since she was severely matted (See my before and after picture!). She is now relaxing at her foster home. More photos and info to come as she learns and feels safe. Update 1/20/26 from her foster home: She was scared for the first two days but now she is a completely different dog. She sleeps very well through the night in her crate is potty trained and already knows how to use the doggie door to go to the backyard for her business. She is good with other dogs though she doesn’t play with them much yet. She is also great with my 5-year-old son. She loves human company more than dogs for now. She plays with my son and my husband sleeps on our laps and loves belly rubs. She also seems fine when we leave her at home for a few hours. I’m feeding her home-cooked food and she loves carrots and treats. See How Happy now in the links below! Watch my video #1Watch my video #2March 12, 2026, 1:16 am

Astrid

Shih Tzu

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

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

Looks like: Pekingese mix Male, 7 years old (estimated), 20 pounds Presenting His Distinguished Highness, Sir William! This charming senior lad is every bit the dapper gentleman his name suggests. With his regal looks and dignified strut, Sir William carries himself like true royalty, but beneath the noble exterior is a very sweet, friendly little dog who simply enjoys good company. Sir William is a nice, easygoing fellow who gets along well with other dogs and would be happy sharing his kingdom with canine companions. Whether he's lounging in a soft bed, taking a leisurely stroll around the grounds, or greeting his loyal subjects (that's you!), he brings a calm and cheerful presence wherever he goes. Like many refined gentlemen, Sir William does have a small medical routine fit for a king. He has some eye issues, but he can see just fine. He'll simply need regular eye drops to keep those royal peepers comfortable and healthy. In return, he promises years of loyal companionship and plenty of charming moments. Sir William joined us from San Jose Animal Care and Services after he was found as a stray.

Winkle (was Landline)

Shih Tzu Poodle (Miniature)

Male, 12 yrs 11 mos

Pacific Grove, CA

Size

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Looks like: Shih Tzu Male, 12 years old (estimated), 9 pounds Winkle was named after Rip Van Winkle because of how much he slept when he came into our program (22 hrs a day!), and in the hopes that he would one day feel better and "wake up." We are happy to report that after he had all his medical issues addressed at our clinic, he "woke up" and really started to enjoy life. Now he loves taking leisurely walks and toddling around the house and yard. He likes to find his foster parents and nuzzle them for love. He will follow his foster parents around and hang out where the other dogs are. In the evenings, he prefers some lap time before bed. He sleeps well through the night. He will test out all the dog beds in the house! Winkle had severe dental disease when he came to POMDR and had to have all his teeth removed. He enjoys soft food at mealtime and soft treats throughout the day. Winkle has cataracts but he finds his way around the house and yard very well. Winkle had an anal sac tumor removed recently. We are hopeful that he has many more months or years ahead of him. Because of his medical situation, POMDR is offering his adopter a $1500 stipend for medical expenses. Winkle came to POMDR from another rescue group when they discovered that his medical needs were more than they could handle. Senior dogs like Winkle with minor senior-related issues are our specialty so we were happy to bring him into our program.

Spork

Female, 10 yrs 4 mos

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Looks like: Shih Tzu Female, 10 years old (estimated), 14 pounds Just like the world's most versatile utensil, this little lady truly does it all: she is part sweet spoon (all cuddles and snuggles) and part sassy fork (with opinions about when dinner should be served). Now in her golden years, Spork has perfected the art of napping, people watching, and politely judging other dogs' fashion choices from her cozy bed. Don't let her age fool you -- she's got plenty of pep in her step when it's time for a walk or a snack run! Spork's ideal day includes a leisurely stroll through the yard, a soft blanket in her bed, and a human who will exclaim that she is 'the cutest thing ever' at least five times a day (non-negotiable). She is the kind of pup who will make you laugh about her quirky displays and melt your heart with her irresistible gaze. Spork is great with dogs, cats and kids! If you have been searching for a perfectly-sized, silky-soft, and charming comedian to share your couch and your heart with, Spork is ready to serve up joy with a side of adorable attitude! Extra bonus: she gets along splendidly with other dogs, with cats, and gentle children. While overall in good shape, she will require daily prescription eye-drops and medication for Cushing's disease. Since joining POMDR, she has been receiving all the medical care and TLC she needed and is feeling much better than when she first arrived. Sweet Spork joined us from San Jose Animal Care Center and Services, who thought she would shine best in a senior-focused rescue.

Story

Looks like: Chihuahua Male, 8 years old (estimated), 7 pounds Say hello to Tamagotchi! He's just about he happiest little Chihuahua you'll ever meet! Just like the beloved '90s toy he's named after, this tiny guy is full of life, personality, and joy. When Tamagotchi sees people, his whole body lights up: tail wagging, wiggle mode activated, and smiles guaranteed all around. Tamagotchi is incredibly sweet and affectionate, and clearly loves being around humans. He does well with other dogs, though right now he can be a bit over-the-top excited. We expect this enthusiasm to settle nicely once he's neutered through our program. Tamagotchi joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. Due to his senior status, they felt he would do best in a senior focused rescue.
