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:

Potion
Looks like: Chihuahua, Mix
Female, 12 years old (estimated), 7 pounds
Potion is just as magical as her name. This sweet girl is missing part of her lower jaw, but that doesn't stop her from enchanting all who meet her! Due to her unique look, she needs a special someone who can feed her all her meals to keep her healthy and strong! This resilient girl proves that being a little different doesn't make her any less lovable. Will you start her next chapter of joy, cuddles, and yummy meals?

Potion is joining POMDR from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after it was determined she needed additional medical care due to her missing lower jaw.

Potion is still looking to join POMDR and would love a dedicated foster who can help her with her unique needs.If you are interested in fostering and you are already a POMDR volunteer, email us. If you are interested in fostering and are not a volunteer yet, please fill out a volunteer application. Or, if you're interested in adopting, fill out an adoption questionnaire.

Edgar Allan Paw
Looks like: Pomeranian, Rat Terrier
Male, 11 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Edgar Allan Paw is more about living his stories to the fullest than reading them. This guy is full of spunk and love. He loves playing with other dogs, then cuddling up with you. He isn't writing horror stories, but adventures! Find him running alongside you or taking in the sights. He doesn't seem to know he's a senior pup!

Edgar Allan Paw settles in quickly and greets every person with enthusiasm and love. He joined POMDR from Sacramento Animal Care and Regulation when they determined his senior status would make him a better fit here.

Edgar Allan Paw is currently cozied up in a doggy suite, awaiting his foster family. Can you help him write his next big story?

Lucy
Looks like: Terrier mix
Female, 11 years old (estimated), 7 pounds
Meet Lucy! Named after the famously sassy Peanuts character, our Lucy is actually the sweetest little love bug you could meet! She's a very mellow, gentle girl who loves being around her people and is happiest when soaking up affection. With her scruffy good looks and sweet personality, she's pretty hard to resist!

Lucy also does wonderfully with other dogs and would be happy to have a canine companion. She's the kind of girl who doesn't need a lot of fuss. Just a cozy spot, some love, and her people nearby. If you're looking for a sweet, easygoing little companion with a whole lot of love to give, Lucy may be your girl!

Lucy came to us from Bradshaw Animal Shelter in Sacramento where she was surrendered by her guardian.

Lucy is currently curled up in a cozy doggie suite with us but this doesn't compare to the love of a home. Can she stay with you?

Boo
Looks like: Pit Bull, Husky

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.

Male, 7 years old (estimated), 10 pounds
Looking for a little bit of magic this Halloween? Meet Salem! With his inky-black coat, snowy little markings, and big soulful eyes, Salem looks like he stepped straight out of a Halloween storybook.

Salem is the perfect size for cozying up beside you and would love to find a forever home where he can enjoy all the good things in life: soft beds, leisurely days, plenty of attention, and a family to call his own. No tricks, just treats: Salem is ready to make his happily-ever-after happen. Could you be the person he's been waiting for?

Loretta
Looks like: Maltese mix
Female, 9 years old (estimated), 10 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.

Cream Cheese
Looks like: Great Pyrenees mix
Female, 10 years old (estimated), 70 pounds
We're still getting to know miss Cream Cheese but what we do know is that she's a lovely lady who enjoys the company of people and other dogs. With her fluffy coat, gentle senior-dog charm, and a name this delicious, Cream Cheese is pretty much impossible not to love. We have a feeling this big, beautiful girl has plenty of sweetness to share and we can't wait to see her blossom as she settles into her next home. Maybe with you?

Miss Cream Cheese joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was picked up as a stray. Due to her senior status, they felt she was best suited to join a senior focused rescue.

Vanna is crate-trained and knows her basic commands -- clearly she's ready to be your top star. She just needs a little TLC to shine again. She's the perfect level of energy. Whether she's settling by your side or going for a walk, she's up for it!

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

Peter Piper is all about keeping things easy-breezy, with gentle affection, chill vibes, and a bit of a tongue twist. He does not need much to be happy, just a loving human and a forever home to call his own.

Barbara Walters
Looks like: French Bulldog

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!

Relish
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Female, 8 years old (estimated), 16 pounds
Relish is a bright spark of personality with just the right amount of zest to match her name. She has a curious, attentive nature and a sweet little presence that makes her easy to root for from the moment you meet her.

Relish enjoys being near her people, finding cozy spots to tuck into, and taking in the world with quiet interest. She's the kind of small dog who settles in and quickly becomes part of the rhythm of the home. Relish would prefer a quiet home without too much going on and would benefit from a patient family helping her find her new rhythm after raising three lovely puppies.

After arriving from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento, where she came in as a stray, we discovered that Relish was pregnant! She has now raised her little ones and is ready to find her forever family and be pampered like the princess that she is!

Now that her puppies have flown the coop, Relish is ready for some well-deserved 'me time'! Can she stay with you while she waits for her forever home?

Kelpie
Looks like: Terrier mix
Male, 9 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Kelpie is a happy-go-lucky little guy with a smile that never quits and energy to match! He is a pure Energizer bunny! This scruffy sweetheart is full of charm and is always ready to brighten your day with his cheerful personality. He's an active guy who loves playtime and walks.

Whether he's trotting along on a stroll or curling up for a cozy nap, Kelpie is simply happy to be by your side. Kelpie could use a little extra guidance. While he typically gets along with dogs, he is leash reactive, and he takes a little while to warm up to strangers. Kelpie would do best with an experienced guardian who is ready to show him the world isn't so scary! He likes to communicate with his mouth, so he would do best in an adult-only home.

Kelpie came to us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services after his guardian could no longer care for him.

Kelpie is looking for a special someone ready to teach him new skills! He could use a little extra patience as he learns that the world isn't such a scary place.

Mattie aka Matteo
Looks like: Poodle mix
Male, 13 years old (estimated), 10 pounds
Mattie is a sweet little lamb, following his foster people around the house hoping for snacks! He was in ruff shape when he came to POMDR, but with the loving care of his foster family and attention to his medical needs, he has become a new dog! We have determined that Mattie is hard of hearing, but you wouldn't notice it for how attentive he is to his surroundings.

He is on inexpensive medications for Cushing's disease and low thyroid. Luckily, he is a champ at taking his meds!

He does very well around other dogs and is super food motivated! Besides meal time and snack time, Mattie also loves his naps. He loves to wander around the yard and explore the house. He doesn't really need leash walks. He gets his steps in around the house! He does just fine being left at home, and would likely get along fine with cat friends.

Mattie joined us from Los Banos Animal Services after being found as a stray. They realized it was in Mattie's best interest to land with a senior dog rescue. We're happy to report that Mattie is on the path to a whole new life! Can you be his forever home?

Mattie is a loving, easy-going guy but needs to move foster homes soon. Can he stay with you?
