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:

Zoey
Looks like: German Shepard
Female, 11 years old (estimated), 70 pounds
Meet Zoey, an older girl with a young but gentle soul! This sweet gal is full of love and just wants to show everyone how much she cares through infinite tail wags and big tongue smiles!

Zoey was well cared for by her previous guardian, as she seems house-trained and loves riding in the car! She does have a bit of strength left in her, so Zoey is looking for a person who can handle her pulling on the leash. We think she is pulling primarily because she is trying to go and find her former guardian (heartbreaking!), but we know that once she finds her next forever home, she will settle right in. Zoey is in her golden years and is looking for someone with a big heart to scoop her up and spoil her rotten! Could that be you?

Zoey’s guardian passed away, and the family member who was left with her was unable to care for her. When she went missing and ended up at the shelter, the family member surrendered her to Hitchcock Road Animal Services to be re-homed.

Beautiful Zoey is currently residing at our clinic while she waits for a loving foster home or forever home! Zoey is wondering if you would like to come and take her home with you?

Gidget
Looks like: Miniature Pinscher mix
Female, 5 years old (estimated), 12 pounds
This Los Angeles rescue is Gidget, a happy-go-lucky pup in the market for her forever home. Gidget loves people, giving non-stop tail wags when she sees you, and even loves meeting new folks!

She is a quiet girl despite her outgoing personality. Her foster reports that she rarely barks and will sleep quietly in her crate each night. Gidget is a pro at going for walks. She's no stranger to a leash! Gidget would do best as the only dog in the house, as she really likes to be the only apple of someone's eye. She is most interested in her human's lap!

Gidget came to us after she was transported up from Los Angeles to ease the burden on shelters affected by the fires.

Gidget is looking for a foster home that ideally does not have other pets so that she can be the apple of your eye! Could that be with you?

Coral
Looks like: Miniature Pinscher, Chihuahua mix
Female, 7 years old (estimated), 15 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 with grace.

This precious girl prefers the company of a small mellow group of other likeminded doggy pals but is also perfectly content soaking up all the love and attention as a solo dog from her adoring family.

Coral joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. Coral had some skin issues, so the shelter thought she would do best in a rescue that could give her that extra TLC.

Coral is currently in a foster home but she is searching for a home that can manage her behavior needs. Please reach out if you think she could be a good fit in your home.

Jet Puffed
Looks like: Poodle, Shih Tzu mix
Male, 10 years old (estimated), 14 pounds
Meet this silly little marshmallow fluff, Jet Puffed! His personality is as quirky as his name suggests, always eager to offer a friendly wag of his tail to anyone who comes his way. Jet Puffed has a sense of independence that is admirable, yet he never shies away from spending quality time with those around him. Jet Puffed does have clear boundaries. He does not like to be touched when chewing on his toys and he is looking for a home that is able to help him work on his manners with people. We have found that kitties are a little too exciting for Jet Puffed so he is searching for a home without kitty friends.

This fluffy little pup joined us from the Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter after his senior guardian's health declined and caring for Jet Puffed became too difficult.

Jet Puffed is currently in a loving foster home but is looking for a new foster home at the end of January 2025. Could that be with you?

Francesca
Looks like: Beagle, Terrier mix
Female, 3 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Francesca is an exotic beauty searching for her forever home. This sweet gal comes from a rough past. She was one of dozens of dogs in her last home, so while she is very dog savvy, she isn't as familiar with the outside world. She will need a patient adopter willing to help her explore the world around her at her own speed.

This sweet gal has a ton of energy and could use some long walks or even runs in her next home once she gets more familiar with walking on leash. She can be quite bouncy and would be able to jump a short fence, so her forever family should mindful of this.

Francesca came to us with six other pups who were rescued by Hitchcock Road Animal Services from a hoarding situation.

Francesca is currently in a loving foster home but is looking for a new foster home that has other pups who can show her the ropes!

Pepi - 5/5-5/16 only
Looks like: Dachshund, Chihuahua mix
Male, 13 years old (estimated), 13 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?

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.
