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:

Tulle
Looks like: Terrier mix
Female, 12 years old (estimated), 10 pounds
Tulle is a sweet little dog with a gentle charm that makes her impossible not to love. She has an adorable presence and a soft, endearing personality that will quickly win your heart. Tulle enjoys being around her people and would love nothing more than to find a family where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished.

With her sweet nature and lovable personality, Tulle is ready to leave shelter life behind and begin her next chapter. If you're looking for a darling little companion who will bring plenty of affection and happiness into your life, Tulle may be the girl you've been waiting for!

Tulle came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after her guardian passed.

Tulle 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?

Bow Tie gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would be happy to have canine companions in his new home. He's an easygoing guy who enjoys the company of his furry friends, but his favorite place is still right next to his people. And his favorite accessory? A cozy lap! Bow Tie absolutely loves to cuddle, snuggle, and be close to the people he loves. He's the kind of companion who will happily settle in beside you and soak up all the affection he can get.

French Press
Looks like: French Bulldog mix
Female, 7 years old (estimated), 28 pounds
French Press is a delicate, loving little lady looking to land in a warm bed as soon as possible. French Press would do best as a solo dog in her next home, where she can be the apple of your eye. She is not a dog that can be around cats or other small critters, as she has an extremely high prey drive and has unfortunately attacked a cat.

This little Frenchie joined us initially from Hitchcock Road Animal Services and lived as a beloved part of a family for some time. Due to a change in circumstances, she was no longer able to stay with her former home and finds herself looking for a new loving landing spot.

Joon
Looks like: Cocker Spaniel, Poodle mix
Male, 6 years old (estimated), 30 pounds
Meet Joon, a handsome gentleman with a sweet face, a happy heart, and a whole lot of love to give! Joon is the kind of dog who makes friends wherever he goes. He's wonderful with other dogs and enjoys having canine companions around, making him a great fit for a home looking for a friendly, social pup. He's active and happy and would love a family who can keep him moving with walks, adventures, and plenty of time together.

Joon is currently having some eye discharge and needs a little extra support with his eye care while we get to the bottom of it. He takes it all in stride and is still his sweet, cheerful self. With his friendly personality, playful spirit, and gentle nature, Joon is ready to make a wonderful addition to a loving home. If you're looking for a happy-go-lucky companion with a heart of gold, Joon might just be your guy!

Sweet Joon joined us from San Jose Animal Care and Services after he was surrendered by his family as they were unable to keep up with his medical needs. Due to his senior status and need for medical support, he found his way to POMDR while he awaits his adoptive home.

Joon is looking for a loving landing spot to call his own. Can he stay with you? Please reach out today!

Lacey
Looks like: Dachshund Mix
Female, 14 years old (estimated), 20 pounds
Lacey is the epitome of sweet and mellow. She is good with both dogs and cats and great with people - though she might be a little shy around men at first, she warms up quickly! She prefers to be by your side, but is usually fine when left alone. She is nothing but gentle and calm.

Lacey's perfect day is just relaxing. She's a calm presence and is looking for a home that's low-energy, though she's happy to entertain guests.

After being loved dearly by her previous guardian and rescuer, she is in need of a new home. Can you help Lacey enjoy her retirement?

Lacey is looking to join POMDR on 09/18 and would love to hop straight to a foster home!If you are interested in fostering and you are already a POMDR volunteer, email us.

Kevin
Looks like: Cattle Dog mix
Male, 8 years old (estimated), 50 pounds
Meet Kevin! He's just the "goodest boy" with a happy heart! Kevin is the perfect mix of chill and cheerful. He's a nice, easygoing guy who's always happy to be along for the adventure. He does well around other dogs, although his excitement can occasionally get the better of him -- he's just really excited to say hello!

Kevin is a great walking buddy. He enjoys getting out, sniffing around, and taking in the sights. He's got that happy, upbeat energy that makes spending time with him a whole lot of fun! He's not looking for anything too complicated, just someone who appreciates a good dog, a good walk, and a little enthusiasm along the way.

Kevin joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after he was found as a stray. His family was found, but unfortunately, they were not in a place to care for him any longer, so he begins his next chapter looking for his forever home.

Amara
Looks like: German Shepherd, Lab mix
Female, 9 years old (estimated), 55 pounds
We named this beautiful girl Amara, meaning grace and strength -- two qualities she has already shown us in abundance. Amara came to a local shelter after her elderly guardian suffered a fall and was unable to move for several days. When help finally arrived, they found Amara outside, without the care or resources she desperately needed. She was emaciated beyond belief, with painfully overgrown nails curling beneath her feet, swollen legs, severely damaged skin, and large areas of missing fur. On top of everything her body had endured, she was understandably frightened by this strange new world around her.

But beneath all of that neglect is a remarkably sweet girl who seems incredibly grateful for every gentle touch, kind word, and bit of care she receives. She is learning that hands can bring comfort, that meals will keep coming, and that she is finally safe. We can't wait to watch Amara blossom.

We know there is a beautiful dog waiting to emerge as her body heals and her confidence grows, but getting there will take time, patience, and a very special person. Amara is looking for an experienced home familiar with German Shepherds and with the patience to let her set the pace. Her adopter will need to be comfortable with the long game: allowing her to decompress, helping her learn what it means to be cared for, and celebrating the tiny victories along the way. She doesn't need someone looking for an instant best friend. She needs someone willing to earn her trust and walk beside her as she discovers the life she should have had all along.

Amara has already survived so much. Now she gets to learn what it feels like to be cherished. We have a feeling that watching this girl come back to life is going to be something pretty special.

Amara is looking for a special landing spot that can help her throughout the road that's ahead. She will require medical care, patience, and support but we promise, watching her blossom will be worth every moment of the work. Amara is still with a local shelter awaiting a foster in order to leave to rescue.

Barbara Walters
Looks like: French Bulldog
Female, 7 years old (estimated), 27 pounds
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!

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

Barbara is looking to join POMDR on 9/2 and is hoping to go straight to a foster! Can you help her get back on-screen?

Vanna White
Looks like: French Bulldog
Female, 7 years old (estimated), 31 pounds
Vanna White is ready to take her rightful place in the spotlight. This sweet girl has been struggling with some bad skin allergies, but she doesn't let that stop her sweet and friendly attitude. Adults, children, dogs? They're all friends to her!

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.

Vanna White is looking to join POMDR on 9/2. Due to the severity of her skin condition, she will spend a little time in a comfortable doggy suite before heading off to foster to finish recovering and rehearsing for her big return! Can you help her get back to center stage?

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?

We don't know much about Capri Sun's past, but we know he's looking forward to a future filled with love, treats, belly rubs, and a family to call his own.

He's the kind of pup who doesn't need much to be happy, just a cozy spot, some kind companions, and someone to love. If your home could use a little extra sunshine, Capri Sun is ready to be your daily refreshment. No straw required!

Ingredients: One adorable Maltese mix, a splash of charm, a whole lot of sweetness, and endless potential to become your new best friend.

Strawberry is a wonderful companion who gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having furry friends around.

Snowflake - 10/30-11/2 only
Looks like: Chihuahua
Female, 11 years old (estimated), 6 pounds
Sweet little Snowflake is every bit as unique and dainty as her name suggests. This special senior lady came to Peace of Mind after being picked up as a stray by Hitchcock Road Animal Services in Salinas.

Once in our care, Snowflake was found to have some significant medical needs, including arthritis, multiple heart conditions, and ongoing eye care. Thankfully, this little lady hit the jackpot when she found a loving foster family who welcomed her with open arms and were happy to give her the comfort and care she deserved in her golden years. Given her medical needs, they knew she deserved a place where she could stay comfortable, cherished, and well cared for for the rest of her life. So, along with her beloved guinea pig sibling, Milkshake, Snowflake is officially home for good.

Snowflake is in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary foster to take her in while they are out of town. Would you like this sweet cuddly girl to come stay with you for a bit?

Rita
Looks like: Maltese
Female, 13 years old (estimated), 10 pounds
Rita is a gal with a heart full of love and a calm, easygoing charm. She's the kind of companion who's happiest in the simple moments: cozy snuggles, gentle strolls, and quietly keeping you company just because she loves being near you. Rita is always ready to settle in close at your feet, beside you on the couch, or wherever her favorite person happens to be. She doesn't ask for much, just your presence, patience, and a soft spot to land. She's cat friendly and has done well living with feline housemates.

Rita is gentle and sensitive and prefers not to be picked up or moved abruptly, and with consistency and care, she settles in beautifully. Her twice-daily medication is part of her routine and she does well when it's thoughtfully tucked into meals.

Rita came to POMDR after her guardian moved into assisted living and could no longer care for her. Now she's ready for her next chapter,a quiet, loving home where she can share her steady devotion, soft companionship, and endless sweetness.

Darling Rita has been showing a little bit of cognitive decline in her aging years. While she has shared a home with another dog much of her life, she seems to wish to be in a home free from other dogs. We'd love for Rita to cozy up in a loving retirement spot.
