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:

Polly Pocket - 4/3-4/16 only
Looks like: Bulldog mix
Female, 6 years old (estimated), 45 pounds
Polly Pocket is one darling little lady who is ready to wiggle her way into your home. Polly is full of energy, and loves to play with people, pups and toys alike. She's a low-riding bundle of joy and is ready to give her new furever family a ton of love! She makes everyone giggle with her goofy smile and light-hearted nature. Polly also rides like a champ in the car and is super food motivated!! Polly loves to go for long walks multiple times a day with her foster dad. They are working hard on her leash etiquette and she can't wait to keep learning in her forever home.

Polly gets along with other dogs and likes to play, but will let them know if they are invading her space too much by putting her paw on them. We love that she communicates like this, and think she will do best in a home with another dog who responds well to her boundaries. She has definitely had a few litters of puppies in the past, and we think Polly is showing her motherly instinct when she does this. She would also be great as a solo pup.

This sweet lady came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was picked up as a stray.

Polly Pocket is currently in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary spot to land while they are out of town. Do you have space for this special lady? Please reach out if so!

Murphy
Looks like: Maltipoo
Male, 1 year old (estimated), 8 pounds
Murphy is a bundle of joy and wiggles, the perfect pick-me-up that could make anyone smile! This young and spry boy wants to play with everyone he comes in contact with! He does well with cats and even children, and just wants to find a home where he can feel loved!

Murphy is looking for a home where he can be his playful self! Are you out and about often and would you like a buddy to accompany you? If so, Murphy is your boy!

Murphy will be joining the POMDR crew because his loving guardian can no longer care for him.

Handsome little Murphy will be coming April 9th for his evaluation and we would love to have a foster home for him to go directly into. Can that be with you?

Wonderful Willy is about to wiggle his way right into your heart! This handsome and gentle boy is looking to spend his senior years enjoying the joys of life with his furever person, frolicking in the sunshine and taking long naps! Take sweet boy Willy for a walk this Spring season and watch him fall in love with you right before your eyes!

Willy will be joining the POMDR pack because his loving guardian can no longer care for him.

Willy will be coming in for his evaluation on April 9th and we would love for him to go straight into a loving foster home once he passes. Could that be with you?

Boyfriend
Looks like: French Bulldog
Male, 3 years old (estimated), 20 pounds
Looking for a new companion? Boyfriend is ready to be the man by your side. He'll keep you company while watching your favorite shows, sunset walks on the beach, and of course a dinner date. What more could you ask for? This adorable little guy is everything you could want! Great with other dogs and adores his people, he just wants to be loved!

Unfortunately, this darling guy has a concerning mass in his mouth that our vet team is working to address. His adoptive home will need to continue his care related to this issue.

This adorable little dude joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after he was found as a stray. Due to his urgent medical concerns, POMDR welcomed him in to get his medical treatment started.

Boyfriend is looking for an amazing foster home while he awaits his forever home. Due to his medical needs, we would expect he'll need to go to medical appointments fairly regularly, so we're looking for a foster home that is able to make these appointments with him.

Sugar Plum Fairy
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. This 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?

Prince Charming
Looks like: Ridgeback/Pit Bull mix
Male, 5 years old (estimated), 68 pounds
Yes, Prince Charming is quite the ladies' man, and yes, he would really love to meet you! This gentle giant is all tail wags when meeting new people. He gives kisses, knows basic commands and has done well around other dogs at our office. Prince Charming loves going for walks and sniffaris in the yard.

Poor Prince came to us with a severe wound on his lower back. Our loving staff took amazing care of him and were able to close his wound so it could heal. Despite his journey, he is so ready to give you all of his love! Prince Charming will make the perfect adventure buddy by day and snuggle buddy by night. He does tend to chase kitties and would probably do best in a home without cats.

Prince Charming came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services.

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.

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!

Angel came to us after her loving surrendering guardian could no longer have her in her living facility.

Angel is currently in a loving foster home, but she is now looking for a new foster home, hopefully where she gets to be the only apple in someone's eye. Can that be with you?

Newt
Looks like: Chihuahua mix

Newt joined us from the SPCA of Monterey County, where they found he needed a more senior specific audience to find his forever family.

Sweet little Newt will be joining the POMDR crew later this week from a local shelter. We'd love to help him land in a loving foster home. Do you have space for this little guy?

Manatee
Looks like: Pit Bull mix
Male, 8 years old (estimated), 80 pounds
Mister Manatee is a boy coming for your heart! Described by shelter staff as "simply the sweetest, chunkiest, most loving dog you could ever meet," what's not to love? This big lump of a Pittie boy is ready to plop right down into your home. He'd make an excellent house guest.

It is clear from his calluses that he spent much of his life as an outdoor dog, so we're thrilled to show him a life of luxury and indoor living! Despite his past, his sweet, gentle nature shines through. He does great with dogs of all sizes and lights up when he sees people!

Manatee is hoping to join POMDR from Los Banos Animal Services, where he landed after he was picked up as a stray.

Manatee is in desperate need of rescue placement at the shelter he's currently at and hoping to join POMDR. In order to do so, he would need a foster committed to him through adoption. Please reach out today if you think Manatee might fit into your family.

Miss Waddles
Looks like: Staffordshire Terrier mix
Female, 6 years old (estimated), 70 pounds
Miss Waddles is one vivacious house hippo who is looking for her new forever home! She is extremely friendly, greeting every person and pup with a wagging tail. Miss Waddles LOVES to cuddle and does not hesitate to flop onto her back for a belly rub. Our personal favorite quirk is that she will muster all of her strength to rest her paw on you as a gentle plea for pets.

Miss Waddles is an easy-going girl who loves being around people but also does fine when left alone. According to our vet, she is on a weight loss journey to take pressure off her joints, and we are very excited for her to get all the attention and exercise she deserves in her new forever home.

Miss Waddles joined us from Santa Clara Animal Services.

Miss Waddles is in a loving foster home now but needs to move to another foster home, can that be with you? This beautiful hippo would prefer to be in a home with low-energy pups.

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.
