We Need Foster Homes!

We typically have about 80 dogs in our care at any given time. We also typically have up to 15 dogs waiting to get into foster homes.

POMDR provides supplies such as crate, bed, collar, harness, leash, id tag, bowls, toys, flea prevention. We also cover all medical expenses. We ask that our foster homes provide the food and a loving, safe home until your foster dog is adopted.

Fostering is a wonderful way to help dogs left behind find their forever homes. You may also want to foster as a way of finding the perfect match for your home if you are looking to add a dog to your family.

The following dogs need foster homes:

Simon Howl
Looks like: Great Pyrenees, German Shepherd mix
Male, 6 years old (estimated), 70 pounds
Darling Simon is searching for some help. This poor guy landed at a local shelter in need of medical support. He has an injury to his back and was found to have polyps in his ears. We'd love to give this deserving big boy a second chance! Can you help? In order to bring Simon into our program we need to secure a foster home that can provide him with the love and care he needs.

Simon is looking for a soft landing spot where he can relax and recover. A foster home close to our Monterey vet clinic would be preferred as he will need to be seen for a few recheck appointments.

Nougat
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Male, 10 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Adorable mister Nougat, what's not to love? This sweet guy is all kisses and cuddles. He adores his people and can't get enough or being snuggled. Nougat gets along well with other dogs and would fit into just about any home.

We don't know much about Nougat's past as he was found as a stray and brought into Santa Clara County Animal Services. They were looking for a more senior specific rescue to help him find the best home to meet his needs.

Little Nougat will be ready to land in a foster home around Wednesday, 2/26. We'd love to see him land in a warm and loving home to spoil him with the love he deserves!

Chow Mein is a lady with a personality all her own. This sweet girl loves to hang out with her people and enjoys the company of other dogs.

Sadly, this little lady was surrendered to Santa Clara County Animal Services after her guardian passed. She's ready to land in her forever home with you!

Little Chow Mein will be landing with us from the shelter shortly and will be ready to land in a loving foster home around Wednesday, 2/26. Can she stay with you?

Bert
Looks like: Beagle, Corgi mix
Male, 10 years old (estimated), 30 pounds
Bert, true to his namesake, is a total character! He's sure to make you chuckle every day with his silly antics. Despite his age, he is known to run zoomies around the yard and really just enjoys living life! He gets along great with other pups but he's more of an independent spirit. Bert likes to take himself on walks about the yard to smell the smells. He's not quite the cuddle bug type, but he's happy to keep you company for whatever adventure you have in store.

Bert and his pal Ernie were frequent flyers at the Sacramento County Bradshaw shelter, often coming in with a new pal in tow. While they are the sweetest duo, the shelter found that they do best living separate lives, soaking in time with their people. We're excited to give Bert a warm landing spot to spend his days.

Bert is currently boarding at our Monterey vet clinic but would love nothing more than to land in a loving foster home that can take him for some nice walk about. Could that be with you?

Art Vandelay
Looks like: Pekingese mix
Male, 3 years old (estimated), 25 pounds
Art Vandelay is a man of many hats, as is our boy Art or Artie as we call him. Art is a boy ready to take on the world! He is a young lad who walks nicely on leash and would adore a walking buddy. Art gets along well with other dogs and would fit right in to just about any home! Art really loves attention from humans, and it's difficult not be obsessed with him once you meet him! He has gorgeous, soft fur and loves to chase toys around the yard.

This sweet guy joined us after landing at Hitchcock Road Animal Services as a stray. They found that he had an eye ulceration and two damaged ear drums! Ouch! So the shelter sought rescue placement that could address his medical needs.

Art is currently boarding at our vet clinic and would love to hop right into your home!

Ernie
Looks like: Beagle Corgi mix
Male, 10 years old (estimated), 30 pounds

Despite his age, he is known to run zoomies around the yard and really just enjoys living life! He gets along great with other pups and is ready to start his next chapter. Could that be with you? Ernie doesn't quite realize his size and thinks he's a lap dog! He'd love to snuggle up on the couch with you for a good movie night or cuddle session.

Ernie and his pal Bert were frequent flyers at the Sacramento County Bradshaw shelter, often coming in with a new pal in tow. While they are the sweetest duo, the shelter found that they do best living separate lives, soaking in time with their people. We're excited to give Ernie a warm landing spot to spend his days.

Mattie
Looks like: Poodle mix
Male, 8 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Mattie has been through a lot in his time before joining us here at POMDR. The poor boy has a few medical concerns that have come up including some touchy masses when he came in and finding that Mattie has cushings. Despite all of the discomfort he must be in, this boy is an absolute angel! He is incredible with other dogs and generally just wants to be loved.

Mattie joins us from Los Banos Animal Services after being found as a stray. They realized it was in Mattie's best interest to land with a rescue to address his ruptured masses and skin issues he came in with. We're happy to report that Mattie is on the path to a whole new life! We hope you can join him along his journey.

Mattie is currently snuggled up at our Monterey vet clinic but he's patiently waiting for the perfect foster home to come along and scoop him up. Could he stay with you? Ideally, his foster would live close to our clinic so that he can frequently visit for rechecks.

She's got a sense of humor that's sure to keep you laughing and a friendly demeanor that makes her the perfect companion. Despite her love for all things fun, Touche does have one quirk: she's not a fan of cats. However, this doesn't stop her from being the amazing dog she is!

Trusty Touche comes to POMDR because her loving guardian can no longer care for her.

Sweet Touche will be joining us this Friday, 2/21, and we are hoping to find her a foster home to go directly into once she passes her evaluation. Could that be with you?

Pepi - 5/5-5/16 only
Looks like: Dachshund, Chihuahua mix
Male, 13 years old (estimated), 11 pounds
Pepi is a happy, mostly confident little guy who's very favorite pastime is napping, closely followed by frolics in the yard or at the park, interspersed with plenty of pets and hind-quarter scratches. Although this little dude is vision and hearing-impaired, he walks well on leash, taking it slow and easy. He's also a pro at stairs and doesn't need to be carried up or down! He gets along well with other dogs that he meets at the park, mainly by ignoring them after the initial sniff test. He also lives with another pup who he loves to nap next to. When meeting new people, including children, he can be a little shy at first, but is always sweet and friendly. We don't know yet how he behaves around cats. At his foster home, he does not mind being home alone, but he also loves being out and about, eagerly hopping into the car, politely sharing the back seat with fellow canines as they all know it is time to head to the park. When Pepi wants attention, he will politely raise his paw for you to see. How cute is that?!

Pepi is hoping to find a quiet, loving household either with or without another dog. Due to his vision impairment, he can be cautious in new places and needs to be carried up and down flights of stairs. His ideal human would be a shuttle driver to the park, timely server of breakfast and dinner, massage therapist for cuddles and attention, room service personnel for fluffing up his cozy bed, and a generous treat dispenser.

This sweet senior lad came to us from a shelter in Sacramento where he was on the red list for euthanasia.

Pepi is looking for a medically skilled temporary foster while his regular foster is out of town. Could that be with you?

Prince Charming - 3/13-3/16 only
Looks like: Ridgeback/Pit Bull mix
Male, 5 years old (estimated), 68 pounds
Yes, Prince Charming is quite the ladies' man, and yes, he would really love to meet you! This gentle giant is all tail wags when meeting new people. He gives kisses, knows basic commands and has done well around other dogs at our office. Prince Charming loves going for walks and sniffaris in the yard.

Poor Prince came to us with a severe wound on his lower back. Our loving staff is helping him on his healing journey. Despite his wound, he is so ready to give you all of his love! Prince Charming will make the perfect adventure buddy by day and snuggle buddy by night.

Prince Charming came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services.

We are looking for a foster for Prince Charming so he can continue to heal and rest in a loving home. His foster would ideally live close to our clinic in Monterey. He currently requires frequent bandage changes and laser treatments, which our clinic is happy to do.

Tugboat
Looks like: Schnauzer mix
Male, 6 year old (estimated), 20 pounds
Tugboat came to us in pretty bad shape. He was found as a stray after being hit by a car, and Hitchcock Road Animal Services took him in. Sweet Tugboat is now at our clinic getting the care he desperately needed.

Tugboat will need some time to recover, but we can't wait to get to know him once he is no longer in pain and feels like himself again! We can already tell that little Tugboat is going to be a wonderful companion for the lucky soul who gets to keep him!

Tugboat will probably need to be at our clinic for a bit to recover but as soon as he is allowed to go to a foster, we would love for him to have that option! Every pup deserves a soft and loving home to land in! Could that be with you?

Astrid - 3/24-4/16 only
Looks like: Shih Tzu
Female, 13 years old (estimated), 12 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.

Astrid is in a loving foster home and is looking for a wonderful temporary foster to keep her company while her regular foster is out of town. Can she come and stay with you?

Coral
Looks like: Miniature Pinscher, Chihuahua mix
Female, 7 years old (estimated), 12 pounds
Cutie pie Coral is just as cute as can be and has the personality to match. This darling little lady looks like she's wearing high heels and tippy taps her way through life. Coral bonds deeply with her favorite people, and can be cautious of strangers at first. With her person, Coral is all tail wags and kisses, sometimes even crawling into your sweatshirt to snuggle up against you.

Coral would prefer to be the only pet in an adult only home - so she can really relax and show your her truest loving nature.

Coral joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray.

Coral is currently cozied up at our vet clinic searching for a home that can manage her behavior quirks. Please reach out if you are interested in hearing more about how to best support this cute gal.

Buddy Boy - 5/5-5/16 only
Looks like: Maltese, Poodle Mix
Male, 14 years old (estimated), 17 pounds
Buddy Boy's senior guardian sadly passed away after being together for 14 years. We're eternally grateful that he can spend his days in the loving home of his foster receiving all of the specialized care he requires. In his younger days, Buddy enjoyed riding in the car and even doing zoomies from time to time!

Sweet Buddy has multiple age-related issues plus extreme anxiety that would be difficult for him to make another move. He will be cared for in his foster home for the rest of his life.

Buddy Boy is looking for a medically skilled temporary foster while his regular foster is out of town. Could that be you?
