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. Click here for more information about volunteering and fostering and to fill out an online volunteer questionnaire.

Some dogs in our program are very popular, and multiple foster volunteers may be interested in fostering the same one. If the dog you are interested in is no longer available, please be patient, many others still need a foster home. Please note that some dogs may have medical or behavioral needs, which will be disclosed (if known) when you inquire about them. Thank you for your patience.

The following dogs need foster homes:

Magic
Looks like: Shepherd, Beagle Mix
Female, 8 years old (estimated), 50 pounds
Magic is looking for a little magic of her own! This easy girl is good with everyone, from cats to dogs and adults to children. She is mellow and just looking for a place to call her own! Easy and relaxed, she'll be lounging in the sun or snoozing on your couch.

Magic is searching for her new home after her guardian could no longer care for her. Can you help this gentle giant find her forever spot?

Magic is a big girl and needs a foster before she can join the POMDR program. Can you help this sweet pup out?

Gabby
Looks like: Schnauzer, Poodle mix
Female, 13 years old (estimated), 37 pounds
Gorgeous Gabby may be enjoying her golden years, but this sweet senior Schnoodle still has plenty of pep in her step! She loves her daily walks, basking in the sunshine, and staying close to her people for gentle pets and affection. With her moderate energy level, Gabby is the perfect companion for someone who enjoys a leisurely stroll followed by a cozy cuddle session on the couch.

Gabby is as easygoing as they come. She gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats, making her a great fit for many types of homes. She isn't demanding or overbearing - just a calm, loving presence with soulful eyes that have a way of capturing everyone's heart. Gabby is also delightfully quiet, usually only offering a bark or two every few days when she's hoping for a little extra attention.

One of Gabby's many wonderful qualities is that she is fully housetrained, according to her foster. In fact, she arrived without even a single accident, which is a rare and impressive testament to what a good girl she is.

Since arriving, Gabby has been receiving the medical care she needs to help her feel her best. She is currently being treated for Cushing's disease and is working toward losing approximately 9 pounds. Her weight loss journey will take time, even with reduced calories, and may require several months of patience and consistency. Reaching a healthier weight is an important step before she can safely undergo a dental cleaning and have a couple of lipomas removed.

Gabby is also an enthusiastic eater and has a habit of consuming things she shouldn't. Her future family will need to provide a safe environment by keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, including products such as snail or rat bait.

Gabby is a special senior girl who deserves a home where her health needs are understood and where she can spend her days feeling safe, loved, and cherished. If you believe life's sweetest companions only get better with age, Gabby is ready to show you just how wonderful a senior dog can be.

Gabby joined the POMDR pack after her loving guardian was no longer able to care for her.

Gabby needs to move fosters soon! Interested in meeting her? Please reach out so that you can come meet this precious girl and let her fill your home and heart with love.

Barnabas
Looks like: Poodle mix
Male, 15 years old (estimated), 28 pounds
Introducing Barnabas, the most charming "vampire" you will ever meet! With his soft, curly cream coat and gentle eyes, this sweet boy is far more interested in stealing your favorite spot on the couch than casting any spells. Barnabas is a gentle soul who loves human affection, making him the perfect companion to keep you warm and cozy all year round.

Barnabas joins us from San Jose Animal Care & Services. Due to his senior status, they felt that he would do best in a rescue setting to find his forever home.

Barnabas will be joining our program shortly and looking for a cozy landing spot. Can he stay with you? If you are interested in giving this sweet senior a loving landing spot, please reach out today!

Jason
Looks like: Maltese
Male, 11 years old (estimated), 8 pounds
Jason is a gentle soul who needs a little extra time and a whole lot of understanding to feel safe in the world. He's a timid boy who is still learning to trust, and he'll need a patient person who is happy to let him move at his own pace. Jason isn't ready to hit the walking trails just yet, and he may never be the adventurous, leash-walking type. But with time, kindness, and a little encouragement, he may surprise us! For now, his happy place is somewhere safe and cozy, with the freedom to take each new step when he's ready.

One of the best things about Jason is how wonderful he is with other dogs! In fact, having a confident canine companion (or even a whole pack!) in his next home is a must for this boy. He takes comfort in his fellow pups and can learn so much by watching them navigate the world. He also does well with kitties, making him a lovely candidate for a home with feline friends, too.

Jason is looking for someone who understands that progress doesn't always happen overnight. He may need extra time to settle in and build trust, but for the right person, helping him discover that the world can be a safe and happy place will be a very special journey.

Jason joins Peace of Mind Dog Rescue from Hitchcock Road Animal Services, where his senior status made him a good fit for our program.

Because Jason needs a delicate touch, he is looking for a special foster to build his confidence and trust. He's looking for a home with at least one other confident dog to learn from. Does this sound like you? Please reach out to us today.

Boo
Looks like: Pit Bull, Husky
Female, 9 years old (estimated), 50 pounds
Boo! Did Boo surprise you? She didn't mean to! Boo is a sweet girl who likes other dogs and is great with people of all ages! She is pretty happy to relax on the couch, but likes a nice walk once or twice a day.

A proper lady, she's great on leash and knows her basic obedience. She is also crate trained! With her previous guardian, she would go to work, lighting up the day for everyone who saw her.

Despite her name, she's not scary at all! Boo is a big love looking for her next place to call home--just no cats, please. She promises no tricks, only treats! She is joining POMDR after her guardian could no longer care for her.

Boo is a big girl and needs a foster home before she can officially join the POMDR family. Can this girl curl up on your couch?

Loretta
Looks like: Maltese mix
Female, 9 years old (estimated), 9 pounds
Loretta is ready to trade in her "rough around the edges" days for a life of cozy beds, gentle TLC, and being thoroughly spoiled. Loretta seems to have lived a tough life in the past and she's definitely in need of a little makeover and some extra love. She could use a nice bath, a good groom, a soft place to curl up, and most importantly, a person who will remind her just how wonderful she is.

Despite whatever she's been through, Loretta is an absolute sweetheart. She's easygoing, gentle, and gets along well with other dogs. She doesn't ask for much- just a comfy bed, some tasty snacks, a little companionship, and someone who will make sure she feels safe and loved from here on out.

Miss Loretta joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. Due to her medical need and her senior status, they felt that she would do best in a rescue setting to find her forever home.

Loretta is currently cozied up in a doggy suite, awaiting her foster family. If you are interested in giving this sweet senior a loving landing spot, please reach out today!

Tarzan and Jane - 11/25-12/18 only
Looks like: Poodle mix
Male, 10 years old (estimated), 14 pounds
Looks like: Poodle mix
Female, 9 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Meet Tarzan & Jane! Twice the Love, Double the Joy! Tarzan and Jane are a bonded pair with hearts as big as their personalities. If you're looking for loyal companions who will fill your home with love, laughter, and unconditional affection, these two are ready to meet you.

Jane is the ultimate cuddle bug. She loves curling up next to her people and would happily spend an evening snuggled on the couch-or better yet, on your lap. Although she has very limited vision (okay, she's basically blind) she doesn't let it define her. She enjoys going for walks and, once she learns her surroundings, gets around remarkably well. Like all of us, she's not perfect, but her resilience, gentle spirit, and loving heart shine through every day.

Tarzan is full of life and always ready for the next adventure. He has one hilarious superpower: if there's an open car door, don't be surprised if he launches himself into the seat like a little Superman, convinced it's time for a road trip! To Tarzan, every car ride is another chance to be with his favorite people, and his excitement is impossible not to love.

Together, they're the perfect team. They adore each other, but they also have a funny little rivalry over one very important prize-your lap! What makes Tarzan and Jane truly special isn't just their bond with each other-it's how completely they love their humans. Whether they're joining you for a neighborhood stroll, riding shotgun on an adventure, or simply relaxing at home, they're happiest when they're by your side.

These two don't need a perfect family-because none of us are perfect. They simply need someone willing to love them for who they are. In return, they'll give you unwavering loyalty, endless affection, daily laughter, and the kind of companionship that only dogs who know they've found home can offer.

If you have room in your heart for two incredible dogs, Tarzan and Jane are ready to fill your life with twice the love, twice the joy, and a lifetime of unforgettable moments.

Tarzan and Jane joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. They were picked up as strays. Due to their senior status and Jane's vision impairments, they felt they would do best in the hands of a senior rescue.

Tarzan and Jane are in a loving foster home and are just looking for a temporary spot while they are out of town. Can they stay with you? Please reach out to us today if so!

Barbara Walters
Looks like: French Bulldog
Female, 7 years old (estimated), 20 pounds
Barbara Walters is just as charismatic and personable as her namesake! She's the perfect size to sit by your side and bend an ear (or both ears!) and she's still got plenty of spunk and moxie!

She enjoys interviewing adults, children, and other dogs, though she's yet to meet a cat. She is also crate-trained and knows her basic commands. Barbara is still peppy and ready to get back into interview shape! Lights! Camera! Foster!

Barbara Walters joined POMDR after her guardian was no longer able to care for her.

Barbara is looking to join POMDR on 9/2 and is hoping to go straight to a foster! Can you help her get back on-screen?

Rita
Looks like: Maltese
Female, 13 years old (estimated), 11 pounds
Rita is a gal with a heart full of love and a calm, easygoing charm. She's the kind of companion who's happiest in the simple moments: cozy snuggles, gentle strolls, and quietly keeping you company just because she loves being near you. Rita is always ready to settle in close at your feet, beside you on the couch, or wherever her favorite person happens to be. She doesn't ask for much, just your presence, patience, and a soft spot to land. She's cat friendly and has done well living with feline housemates.

Rita is gentle and sensitive and prefers not to be picked up or moved abruptly, and with consistency and care, she settles in beautifully. Her twice-daily medication is part of her routine and she does well when it's thoughtfully tucked into meals.

Rita came to POMDR after her guardian moved into assisted living and could no longer care for her. Now she's ready for her next chapter,a quiet, loving home where she can share her steady devotion, soft companionship, and endless sweetness.

Darling Rita has been showing a little bit of cognitive decline in her aging years. While she has shared a home with another dog much of her life, she seems to wish to be in a home free from other dogs. We'd love for Rita to cozy up in a loving retirement spot.
