This is the program that aired on Sunday, February 4, 2018:

Carie Broecker is Executive Director of Peace of Mind Dog Rescue in Pacific Grove, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in October 2009.

Our mission is to be a resource and advocate for senior dogs and senior people on California’s Central Coast.

We find loving homes for dogs whose guardians can no longer care for them and for senior dogs in shelters. We also provide volunteer and financial assistance so seniors can keep their pets with them as long as possible. In addition, we make pre-arrangements to take in dogs should their guardians become unable to care for them.

We have a lifetime commitment to all the dogs who come into our care. They will either be adopted into a wonderful, permanent home or will live out their lives in one of our foster homes. (Sometimes when we bring a senior dog into our care, it becomes clear that he or she should not have to endure one more move or life change.)

We help senior citizens pay for veterinary care for their dogs if they are unable to afford medical expenses. We also provide temporary foster care for people who are hospitalized and dog walking for people who are no longer able to walk their dogs.

POMDR is led by a dedicated board and an incredible staff. POMDR is also supported by a network of over 600 volunteers who help with foster care, adoption events, transportation, office work, fundraising, and other tasks as they come up. We pride ourselves on adhering to the POMDR culture.

Our vision is to model lifetime care for dogs and all companion animals to help bring about a positive change in the way society thinks about and treats senior dogs, and to create better lives for them through rescue, foster, adoption, hospice, and education.

Our offices and headquarters are located at the POMDR Patricia J Bauer Center at 615 Forest Avenue in Pacific Grove.

Jen Walker, besides being education director for the Santa Cruz shelter, she is also an accomplished dog training. This week and next, she will be handling Dog-Training-By-Radio, as Laura Pakis is out of the country. Jen has spent over a dozen years working in animal shelters, with strong emphases on humane education, community outreach, and companion animal behavior.

She has a Certificate in Training and Counseling from the prestigious Academy for Dog Trainers and is a Certified Humane Education Specialist through the Humane Society of the United States.

Jen is a Program Trainer with UnChained and has apprenticed with Mardi Richmond of Good Dog Santa Cruz.

She has attended (and sometimes presented at) numerous conferences, workshops and seminars, and is deeply committed to continuing education for herself and others, including unpaid roles on several nonprofit director and advisory boards.

Jen has written for magazines such as Growing Up in Santa Cruz, Coastal Canine Magazine, and Spot. She is a licensed presenter of Family Paws(an international program assisting expectant parents and families with children with their pet-related challenges) and a longtime member of Delta Pet Partners (animal-assisted therapy).
