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:

Gracie
Looks like: Poodle mix
Female, 12 years old (estimated), 10 pounds
She's got style, she's got grace, she's a lady! Meet the darling senior named Gracie who has already captured so many hearts! She may look a little rough around the edges and may have gone through her fair share of experiences, but this beautiful girl has stuck it out and is ready to be placed in the loving arms of her forever home! Gracie gets along great with other pups and truly lives up to her name.

Gracie joined us from Santa Clara County Animal Care and Services where she was brought in as a stray.

Miss Gracie is currently cuddled up boarding at our vet clinic but we'd love nothing more than to see her land in a loving foster home. Can this sweet girl come and snuggle with you?

Guerro
Looks like: Maltese Poodle mix
Male, 9 years old (estimated), 13 pounds
The best way to describe this adorable white fluff is extremely friendly (except to cats)! Guerro is a handsome fella with a heart full of love! Take him on adventures or snuggle up with him on the couch, either way, he will be content just being with you!

Guerro joined the POMDR crew because his loving guardian could no longer give him the attention and care he needs. Would you like to take this sweet boy home with you?

Guerro is currently snuggled up at our Monterey vet clinic looking to bounce into an active foster home. If your home does not have cats and you would like to foster this bundle of love, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Carrot
Looks like: Pomeranian mix
Male, 7 years old (estimated), 12 pounds
Meet Carrot, a handsome and playful spirit who's ready to make you giggle with his silly antics. This little fluffball may have a few years under his belt, but don't let his age fool you, he's an active little fella with so much personality. Carrot's favorite things in life? A good game of tug with a squeaky toy and snuggling up with you for a good Netflix binge after a day full of adventure.

Looking for a companion who will never leave you bored? Carrot's your guy. He'll be your loyal sidekick, your personal comedian, and your all-time best friend. Due to Carrots size and personality we believe we would do best in a home free from younger children. If you're ready to keep up with his energy and give him all the love he craves, this spunky Pomeranian is ready to call your home his forever one.

Carrot joined POMDR after his loving guardian found that she could no longer take care of him.

Curious Carrot is currently boarding at our Monterey vet clinic searching for a foster home. Sadly he was adopted and landed in a loving home but after a nip to a caretaker's hand, he is returning to our program looking for an adopter ready to work on some behaviors with him.

Dancer and Hawk are here to steal your heart and show you that age is just a number when it comes to love, joy, and finding the perfect nap spot.

Together, they balance each other perfectly.

This bonded pair is ready to share their golden years with a family that will love them unconditionally. They're mellow, loving, and all about snuggling up after a day of adventures. Dancer and Hawk will bring warmth, laughter, and loads of affection into your home.

These two beautiful balls of fluff joined us after their guardian grew ill and was no longer able to care for them.

Hawk and Dancer will be joining the POMDR family in April. The exact date of their entry to our program is not set yet as they are hoping to stay with their guardian as long as possible. We'd love to have a landing spot ready for them when they are ready to enter the program.

Toby will be joining POMDR on Friday, April 5th. We would love nothing more than to have a foster home lined up for him to land in that same day. Do you have a Toby sized spot in your home?

Shaquira aka Angel
Looks like: Toy Poodle
Female, 13 years old (estimated), 10 pounds
Say hello to Shaquira aka Angel! This sweet little Poodle mix came back to POMDR after her guardian moved to a new facility and could no longer have her there. She does respond to the name Angel, and is looking for a new forever home full of love. This sweet girl enjoys being held by her person, and deeply bonds with her owners.

She is a pup who will benefit from regular grooming. This sweetheart has separation anxiety when left behind, and will need help learning it is okay to be alone for a bit. Angel would prefer to be the only pup in the home, and the apple of her human's eye!

Buddy
Looks like: Miniature Pinscher Mix
Male, 9 years old (estimated), 10 pounds
Little Buddy is ready to snuggle his way right into your heart or under your blankets! This spunky little boy loves to play with stuffed toys and enjoys a nice walk - he's a perfect gentleman on leash! He has a moderate amount of energy. He plays hard but also naps hard. Did we mention that Buddy is a champion cuddler? This sweet guy bonds with his people quickly and deeply. He loves being on your lap or in your arms but is also perfectly content curled up in a dog bed with or without other pups. Buddy's foster shares that he "has an endearing way of asking you for more affection, pawing gently and moving in sweetly."

Buddy has some arthritis in his back, so he prefers gentle handling, and would love to be in a home with adults or respectful children who can make sure to handle him with care. Despite his arthritis, Buddy loves exploring the world on walks and is happiest sniffing to his heart's content! He does great around other dogs, and gets along beautifully with his foster siblings. Because of his arthritis, Buddy is looking for a home with dog friends who can also be gentle with him and not roughhouse.

Buddy came to us from the SPCA, where he was surrendered by his guardians after they were evicted from their home.

Buddy is currently boarding at our vet clinic looking for a loving foster home! Could that be with you? He'd love to find a mellow landing spot where he can settle in until his forever family can be found.

Summer
Looks like: Poodle mix
Female, 8 years old (estimated), 22 pounds
Meet Summer! A perfect companion in search of her perfect family, this girl is a true lady through and through. She is overflowing with love, cuddles, and kisses for her humans. After a good night of sleep, she'll greet you with the sweetest face and an abundance of tail wags.

Summer's idea of bliss includes good food, head rubs, and belly scratches. Throw in a walk so she gets a chance to flaunt those gams and work that nose, and she'll reward you with meaningful eye contact that says it's true love. As a bonus, enjoy Summer's adorable little piggy snorts as she dives into a lick mat, snuffle rug, or puzzle!

If you're looking for TV time company, she'll happily let you pick the show and will never hog the remote. Be prepared for her to cuddle up on your lap, hip to hip on the couch, or in a dog bed at your feet if you prefer. After all, she did win Miss Cuddles 2025 (title based on a vote taken in her foster home).

Summer came to POMDR from Hitchcock Road Animal Services.

Summer is currently with a loving foster but will need to move foster homes by March 27th. Can Summer be your next house guest?
