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

Story
Luigi is a sweet senior Shih Tzu who’s ready to level up your life. This senior gentleman has still got plenty of extra lives left — especially when it comes to neighborhood walks and making new dog friends. He enjoys companionship (both human and canine), and he’s happiest when he’s part of the team. Whether he’s trotting along on a stroll or powering up with a cozy nap afterward, Luigi keeps things steady, cheerful, and low-drama. No boss battles here — just a loyal sidekick with a soft heart and a wagging tail. Ready to press start on your next adventure? Luigi is waiting to join your player two. Here's some notes from his foster: Luigi is a sweet boy… does great in the car and enjoys his naps! He was only with me 36 hrs but I saw him become more curious and interactive in that time. Definitely on the “chill” side! He was a bit picky with his food but enjoys chicken and cheese! He’s house trained!

Astrid

Shih Tzu

Female, 14 yrs 3 mos
Pacific Grove, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
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.

Shih Tzu Poodle (Miniature)

Male, 13 yrs
Pacific Grove, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
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.
