Story
HI - I'M WINKY, and my story is a bit heartbreaking. I was dumped in a trash bin by some callous person, possibly because I have a cloudy eye. Thankfully I was rescued and am now in a foster home, where I share my days with other pups. The vet says it's just a very dry eye, so I'm hoping my eye does not need to be removed. I'm currently on eye medicine to help it improve, since I was definitely neglected. I'm a 5-year-old Shih Tzu mix, possibly part Lhasa Apso given my size (I'm 17 lbs). I'm an adorable little friendly guy who would love to be with a person or people who truly love me, and who won't throw me out in the trash! I'm very much a lap dog and a snuggler. If you can open your home and heart to me, please email for an application. I'm currently still in California, but can be transported to Northern California.

Story
Roxy currently plays with an older (9yrs) female Shih Tzu 5 days a week when I help care for my  daughter’s children. She likes playing fetch and tug-a-war. She is very affectionate. She likes to be held and her tummy rubbed. When I walk her I let her walk ahead of me and explore. I have been training her not to bark at other dogs when on the leash. She finds it difficult especially if the other dog barks first. Roxy is very loving and playful. She likes going for walks. She can pull on the leash. She also does not like being closely approached on the leash by dogs or people. When I have boarded her the caretakers like her. I have to tell her to stay when I go out the front door or she may run out the door. She can whine in the car wanting the window down. She responds to treats for good behavior (not barking at other dogs). She is very protective.

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: 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.

Story
Looks like: Shih Tzu Female, 10 years old (estimated), 12 pounds Say hello to Beatrice, a sweet and serene senior lady looking for a soft place to land. She may have a few gray hairs peppered into her coat but don't that fool you. This girl still has plenty of pep in her step! She loves a good walk around the block and even gets zoomies from time to time. While she has an active side to her, she also adores soft blankets, and simply being near her person. head pets are a favorite of hers. Whether you live in a small apartment or a large house, Beatrice will fit right in, as long as there's a cozy bed to curl up in. This sweet girl gets along great with dogs big and small and is even wonderful with kitty friends, greeting everyone with a wagging tail.

Story
Looks like: Shih Tzu Female, 10 years old (estimated), 14 pounds Meet Spork -- yes, like the world's most versatile utensil, because 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). At around 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, a soft blanket, and a human willing to admire her underbite and call her the cutest thing ever at least five times a day (non-negotiable). She is the kind of pup who will make you laugh with her quirks and melt your heart with her snorts. If you have been searching for a tiny, fluffy comedian to share your couch and your heart, Spork is ready to serve up joy with a side of adorable attitude! Sweet Spork joins us from the San Jose Animal Care Center and Services who thought she'd shine best with a senior-focused rescue.
