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:

Mimi
Looks like: Poodle mix
Female, 12 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Miss Mimi is just a dream dog! This amazing little girl has nothing but love to share with the world! She loves a good snuggle session just about as much as she loves to roll around on the couch. She's just a doll. Mimi gets along great with other dogs and adores meeting new people. New friends are the best! Looking for a walking buddy or Netflix buddy? Mimi is up for whatever you have in store!

Mimi joins us from the Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter. They reached out to POMDR in hopes of a senior focused rescue finding her the best home for her.

Mimi just landed with us from a partner shelter. She'd love nothing more than to snuggle up into a loving foster home! Can she stay with you?

Nani
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Female, 10 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Sweet Nani is a small Chihuahua mix that we like to call a miniature Husky because of her gorgeous markings! Nani can start out a bit shy at first, but she warms up quickly and has come such a long way thanks to the loving shelter staff who have been caring for her. Nani really loves sitting in laps and leaning in for pets and love.

Nani joined POMDR from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being picked up as a stray.

Nani is looking for a loving home to decompress in as soon as possible. Can you help? Please let us know! We think this girl will melt your heart and find her forever home pretty quickly.

Ronnie
Looks like: Golden Doodle Mix
Male, 2 years old (estimated), 43 pounds
Ronnie is everything and more and Sweet with a capital "S"! We are shocked this handsome boy ended up at the shelter in the first place, but don't worry, he is getting his second chance at a good life! Despite being markedly underweight, this boy has energy to burn. He's an energizer bunny who doesn't have a low energy mode -- only go, go, go! He's looking for an active home that can keep up with him!

Ronnie gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He will need to gain some weight, so he will be looking for someone who can help him slowly regain the life that every five-year-old pup should have.

Rad Ronnie joined POMDR from Ventura County Animal Services in an attempt to alleviate overcrowding.

Ronnie is currently boarding at our Monterey vet clinic. He's looking for a high energy home that can keep up with this energy. Could that be you?

Izzy
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Female, 5 years old (estimated), 8 pounds
Meet Izzy, a sweet and curious girl with a heart full of love! Though she can be a bit shy at first, with patience and time, Izzy quickly becomes a loyal and brave companion. She's the kind of dog who will stand by your side and support you through it all.

Izzy's list of favorite things is long and absolutely adorable. She loves burrowing into blankets, cuddling up inside your sweatshirt, and getting chest scratches. She's also a fan of 3-5 mile walks and, above all, food! For a meal, she'll leap with excitement, leaving all her pride behind for the joy of a tasty bite.

Izzy would thrive in a solo person and adult-only home where she can feel safe and secure. She's a gentle soul who can get overwhelmed around children, so a calm environment will help her shine.

Izzy came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray.

Little Izzy is looking to move foster homes into a quiet home open to working with her on some minor behavioral quirks. Interested in learning more about Izzy? Please reach out to us today!

Maximo
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Male, 7 years old (estimated), 12 pounds
Darling Maximo is just a joy to have around! This bouncy senior lad is proof that age is just a number. He still has plenty of pep in his step to join you for an evening walk or even a weekend hike! Maximo gets along famously with other dogs and of course adores his human companions.

Maximo was adopted as a young puppy from Hitchcock Road Animal Services, but sadly was returned seven years later due to his family dynamics changing and the family not being able to keep him.

Maximo is currently boarding at our Monterey vet clinic where he awaits a loving foster home. Can he stay with you?

Snoop Dog
Looks like: Poodle mix
Male, 6 years old (estimated), 16 pounds
Snoop Dog is just as happy as they come. This sweet boy loves other dogs and adores people. He is all tail wags, and would love to roam around a yard or go for a walk around the neighborhood. He is definitely up for an adventure! We think he'd make a great addition to any family!

Snoop Dog joined us from San Jose Animal Care and Services. They found that Snoop would do best in a senior-specific rescue to find his forever home.

Snoop is currently boarding at our Monterey vet clinic awaiting a loving foster home. Could that be you? He'd love to pop into your pack today!

Maxx
Looks like: Schnauzer
Male, 11 years old (estimated), 25 pounds
Mister Maxx is your typical loving, sweetheart of a Schnauzer. Those who know and love the breed will be head over heels in love with this sweetheart. Maxx gets along great with other dogs and enjoys the company of people but he seems to be a bit more independent of a spirit. He enjoys exploring a nice yard taking in his sights and smells around him.

Maxx landed at a partner shelter with some slight wobbles. He seems to have overcome this medical mystery but his forever family (as any senior dog adopter would) will want to keep a close eye on his medical as he ages.

This sweet senior lad joins us from he Sacramento Bradshaw shelter where he was surrendered by his family due to his medical needs being too much for them to manage.

Maxx will be landing with us on Saturday, May 17th. He'd love to land in a loving foster home shortly after his arrival. Can he join your home?

Sophia
Looks like: Shih Tzu
Female, 12 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Sophia is a gentle little soul looking for a soft place to land and spend her golden years. At 12 years young, don't let her age fool you, this sweet girl still has plenty of pep in her step and a whole lot of love to give!

Darling Sophia is the definition of a lap dog. She is the happiest when curled up next to her person and enjoying quiet moments, soaking up all the affection she can get. She also enjoys joining in for a walk or monitoring you while you eat. She just wants to ensure you don't need help cleaning up. In typical Shih Tzu fashion, she's an absolute love bug who has so much love to share with her people! She gets along great with other dogs big and small and even does well with dog savvy kitties!

Sophia joins us from the Bradshaw Animal Shelter after she was picked up as a stray. The shelter thought she would do best in a senior focused rescue to help her land in the most amazing forever family.

Sophia would love to land in a loving foster home she could call her own. Can you open your loving home to sweet little Sophia?

Roland and Leo
Looks like: Cocker Spaniel
Male, 4 years old (estimated), 25 pounds
Looks like: Cocker Spaniel
Male, 4 years old (estimated), 25 pounds
Roland and Leo are the dream team if we ever saw one! These adorable Cocker boys are on the search for their forever home, might that be with you? These adorable pals are the best 'wiggle butts' full of excitement and full body wiggles when they meet new friends! They walk well on leash and would love to join in on any adventure they can be a part of! Roland and Leo are a bonded pair so they are searching for a forever home looking to adopt them both. What's better than one Spaniel than two, right?

Sweet Leo and Roland join POMDR as their former home was not able to meet their needs.

Leo and Roland will be joining POMDR on May 28th. We'd love to see them land straight in a foster home that same day.

Barbie
Looks like: Poodle mix
Female, 10 years old (estimated), 12 pounds
Barbie is absolutely darling! She loves people, gets along great with other pups, and is in great spirits despite not feeling her best.

This sweet poodle girl came to us in rough shape with several masses. Fortunately, our clinic is equipped and our fantastic team will be addressing these masses so that Barbie can live the rest of her life feeling great!

Barbie joined us from the Contra Costa Animal Shelter when they reached out for help with her medical needs.

Barbie is curled up at our vet clinic in Monterey! We are seeking a foster home that can make her feel safe and loved while she waits for her forever home. She will need a few visits to the clinic to get her masses removed so ideally the foster home would be located close to our clinic in Monterey. Can you open your heart and home to Barbie?

Lola
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Female, 10 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Her name was Lola, she was a Chihuahua girl. She loves to wear feathers in her hair and doggie dresses she will wear! While Lola's showgirl days may be behind her, she's an absolute star in her peoples eyes! This lovely senior lady is looking for a loving landing spot after bouncing around to a few homes in the past. Lola has some slight vision impairments that come with her senior status but that doesn't slow her down one bit. Lola gets along well with other dogs but people are really where she shines.

Lola joins Peace of Mind as a guardian surrender. Her former guardian lost her job and found that Lola needed a more stable home to land in.

Little miss Lola will be joining the POMDR family on Wednesday, May 21st. We would love for her to land in a loving foster home that day that she could call her own.

Winkle aka Landline
Looks like: Shih Tzu
Male, 12 years old (estimated), 12 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.

Winkle is cozied up in a loving foster home but due to some advancing senior related issues, it's looking as though he needs to find a new long-term foster spot. Could he stay with you? He's a champion napper but when awake, he's a real riot to watch toddle around. Winkle does take many medications and will need to be seen at our Monterey vet clinic for rechecks.

Bobby - 6/14-6/18 only
Looks like: Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix
Male, 9 years old (estimated), 21 pounds
Since landing in a loving foster home, with its caring and peaceful environment, handsome Bobby has been able to decompress and has really come out of his shell. This super sweet and lovable guy experienced some bullying from other dogs in the shelter, and while he can still get scared occasionally, he walks well on leash and greets new dogs with a quick, polite sniff. He has also done well with other dogs visiting his foster home! He greatly appreciates having his very own pooch support person and quickly and closely bonds with his human companion, but he is also always open to meeting new people. When he is in the mood, he sometimes performs hilarious "sing-alongs" with his foster mom and he very much likes to sleep and snuggle under the covers with her at night. We have not yet had the opportunity to see how he behaves around cats or children, but given his reserved and gentle nature, we assume that he would do just fine. Bobby's favorite activity is to walk around with his beloved triple flavor twist sticks and hide them in top secret locations around the house! How cute is that?!

Bobby is a low-maintenance sweetheart, and he would love to find a safe and quiet home with a nice cushy bed where he can curl up and just be near you. He will follow you around, making sure that he does not lose track of you. He is fine when home alone now and then, but is also up for coming along on car rides. As time goes by, we expect Bobby to become more and more confident in regards to meeting other dogs. Until then, he would prefer to be the only dog in the home. We can't wait to see him making the best of his second chance in life.

Bobby joined us from Kern County Animal Services.

Bobby is looking for a temp foster while his current foster is out of town. Can he come and cuddle with you?!
