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:
Female, 11 years old (estimated), 70 pounds
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?

Female, 5 years old (estimated), 12 pounds
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?

Female, 7 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
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.

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?

Female, 3 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
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!

Male, 13 years old (estimated), 13 pounds
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?
