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:

Tess
Looks like: Pomeranian, Poodle mix
Female, 1 year old (estimated), 12 pounds
Darling Tess is an adorable pup looking to find her forever landing spot. Tess has a wagging tail for anyone she meets- both people and dogs. Being such a young and impressionable puppy, she is looking for a home that can keep up with her socialization during this critical time in her development. Being such a young pup, she has a lot of energy to spare! She's looking for an active home that can keep her moving and continue her training life long.

Tess joins us after her senior guardian fell ill and found they were unable to care for her.

We will be meeting Tess on Friday, May 9th for her evaluation. If she passes her evaluation, she will be looking to land in a foster home the same day. We'd love to have a loving home lined up for her to land in assuming she passes.

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 Friday, May 7th. We would love for her to land in a loving foster home that day that she could call her own.

Daffy
Looks like: Pug mix
Female, 10 years old (estimated), 18 pounds
Darling Daffodil (Daffy for short) is a quirky, silly little lady ready to charm your socks off! Daffy was taken in originally off a Craigslist ad and lived many years with her guardian but sadly her guardian lost her housing and needed to find a more stable landing spot for little Daffy to live her days. Daffy gets along well with other dogs and truly just loves sharing life with her people! We can't wait to see her have more happy days with her next family!

Daffy joins us after her guardian needed to move but her home she moved to did not allow dogs.

Little miss Daffy will be joining us for evaluation on Wednesday, April 30th. We'd love for her to have a foster home to slip right into upon arrival. Can she stay with you?

Razzle Dazzle
Looks like: Terrier, Shih Tzu mix
Female, 5 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
This girl lives up to her name! She has the REAL razzle dazzle! Radiant Razzle Dazzle was sadly found as a stray after someone abandoned her near an emergency vet. Although the past chapter in her story is heartbreaking, her next chapter is going to match her name and be incredible! This sweet girl loves her pup companions and is making new friends left and right! We have no doubts in our minds and hearts that this girl is going to light up the heart and soul of her next furever family!

Razzle Dazzle joins the POMDR pack after she was picked up and cared for by the San Jose Animal Care and Services team.

Want to bring this adorable girl home with you?! If so, this sparkly pup will be landing here at POMDR this week and will need a foster home once she arrives! Please reach out today to solidify your opportunity to foster this girl!

Markus
Looks like: Dachshund mix

Meet Markus, the mightiest of senior pups! Markus is a fantastic walker and enjoys long walks around the neighborhood. He also expresses his joy and happiness through rapid tail wags and wiggles (adorable!). This sweet senior would really love to spend his time going on sniffaries and loving on his favorite person.

Markus joined us from the Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter, and he is ready to head to a loving home!

Marvelous Markus joins POMDR on April 16th and will be looking for a loving foster home as soon as April 17th. Would you like Markus as a furry house guest?

Meet Vinnie's friend, The Situation! (Are you sensing a theme yet?) The Situation (TS for short) is Vinnie's less energetic friend who supports the life of the party! The boy enjoys daily walks and hanging out with his pup companions! TS adores love from his humans and seeks out an extra pet or snuggle whenever he can!

The Situation joins POMDR from the Ventura County Animal Services, where he hung out with his best friend, Vinnie.

TS is arriving on Friday (April 25th) and we would love for him to go to a loving foster home once he gets here! Can TS come and stay with you?

Pauly D
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Male, 13 years old (estimated), 11 pounds
Meet sweet Pauly D, a senior with a heart full of gold. Pauly D was dealt an unfortunate hand when it comes to his health but that doesn't mean this boy does not deserve to live out the remainder of his life being spoiled and loved! The poor boy has been diagnosed with a heart murmur and enlarged heart, along with a variety of other ailments. If giving a pup with medical needs a second chance is your calling, then look no further, Pauly D is your boy.

Pauly D is joining POMDR from Ventura County Animal Services.

Gentle Pauly D is arriving this Friday (April 25th) and we would love for him to go directly into a loving foster home. Could that be with you?

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! Ronnie 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. He gets along wonderfully with other pups and just wants to snuggle with a loving human!

Rad Ronnie joins the POMDR crew from Ventura County Animal Services.

Ronnie will be arriving this Friday (April 25th) and will be looking for a loving foster home to take him in! Could that be you?

Female, 9 years old (estimated), 19 pounds
Snooki is a girl with a big personality but a big heart to match! This crazy haired little lady is the life of the party and ready to be the star of your house! Under her good looks, darling Snooki is really as sweet as they come. She loves her people and does great with other dogs!

This little lady and her friends join us from Ventura County Animal Services after she was found as a stray. Their shelter was facing a high volume of intakes, so we were thrilled to take in a few of their loving seniors into our program.

Bindi
Looks like: Papillon mix
Female, 5 months old (estimated), 10 pounds
Bindi is a young puppy who was picked up as a stray in Salinas. This poor girl was found hobbling around experiencing some obvious neurological issues. Poor thing! We can't even imagine her out in the big world by herself.

Bindi is searching for a family with people who can be home with her much of the day as she does topple over and has a challenging time getting back up. She will also need baths more regularly than your average pup as she sometimes topples into her potty piles. While Bindi has already been through so much in her short life, she still has so much to learn. Puppy socialization is so critical to lifelong behavior and skills for any dog so we want to ensure Bindi's next home is up for her medical needs up as well as meeting her socialization and exposure needs as a growing puppy.

Bindi joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. While Bindi isn't our usual senior dog, she was out of options due to her medical need. With no other rescues able to take her in, we decided Bindi was destined to become a POMDR pup!

Bindi is looking for a special foster home who can be with her much of the day and support her on her medical journey. She is wobbly on her feet and topples over easily.

Sugar Plum Fairy - 5/19-6/10 only
Looks like: Poodle mix
Female, 7 years old (estimated), 13 pounds
Sugar Plum Fairy is ready to dance right into her new forever home. She is 100% wiggles and tail wags when she's around people, and would do anything to be held close. Sugar Plum Fairy (or SPF for short) seems to do great around other dogs as well.

We are amazed at how happy-go-lucky and resilient she is. Our vet clinic is currently working to determine what kind of eye issues she is dealing with, and believe she is near totally blind. She may need to have her eyes removed to make sure she is comfortable. Our vet staff is monitoring her eyes closely. SOF's blindness doesn't stop her from being the happiest pup in the room, though! We think she would make a great addition to any home that is relatively easy to navigate. Prior blind dog experience is a plus! Apply for SPF today and bring bundles of joy into your life.

Sugar Plum Fairy came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being picked up as a stray.

Sugar Plum Fairy has had a really rough go of things, but you would never know it from her personality. We know she is going to make any home brighter with her presence. Can you give a her a warm landing spot as we look for her forever home? SPF is currently cuddled up in a temporary foster home but will need a new landing spot starting on 5/19!

Prince Charming
Looks like: Ridgeback/Pit Bull mix
Male, 5 years old (estimated), 68 pounds
Prince Charming is a lovable, tail wagging pup who is eager to meet you! He's a total heartthrob, always ready to shower you with kisses and affection. This sweet boy enjoys going on sniffari adventures with his people and letting his nose lead the way! He knows basic commands and has done wonderfully around other dogs at our office, making him a joy to be around.

When Prince Charming first arrived, he was carrying a painful wound on his lower back. But thanks to the incredible care from our devoted clinic staff, he's fully healed and ready to give you all the love and attention you could ever want. Despite everything he's been through, he's a true sweetheart who's just waiting for his forever home.

Prince Charming would be the perfect companion for fun adventures during the day and cozy snuggles at night. He does tend to get a little too excited around cats, so he would do best in a home without them.

Prince Charming came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services, and now he's hoping to find someone special to share his heart with. Could it be you?

Prince is looking for his lucky landing spot to call his own. He is currently in a foster home but needs to move from that home.

Hawk and Dancer
Looks like: Samoyed
Male, 5 years old (estimated), 70 pounds
Looks like: Samoyed
Female, 10 years old (estimated), 70 pounds
Looking for a pair of pawsome companions who know how to live their best life? 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. Dancer is the graceful lady who enjoys leisurely walks, cuddles, and basking in the sunshine, while Hawk is the playful, goofy guy who's always up for a game of fetch or a good zoomie session. 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.

Winkle aka Landline - 5/18-6/11 only
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.

Landline is cozied up in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary foster while they are out of town.

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?!
