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:

Barnabas
Looks like: Poodle mix
Male, 15 years old (estimated), 30 pounds
Introducing Barnabas, the most charming "vampire" you will ever meet! With his soft, curly cream coat and gentle eyes, this sweet boy is far more interested in stealing your favorite spot on the couch than casting any spells. Barnabas is a gentle soul who loves human affection, making him the perfect companion to keep you warm and cozy all year round.

Barnabas joins us from San Jose Animal Care & Services. Due to his senior status, they felt that he would do best in a rescue setting to find his forever home.

Barnabas will be joining our program shortly and looking for a cozy landing spot. Can he stay with you? If you are interested in giving this sweet senior a loving landing spot, please reach out today!

Adele
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Female, 14 years old (estimated), 8 pounds
Darling Adele is a tiny Chihuahua lady with lots of love to give! This sweet pup is on the lookout for a lap to curl up in and a person to call her own. She's a quiet little lady, only making silly vocalizations when she's excited. Adele loves following her favorite people around the house and is happiest when she's close to those she loves. She does well around other dogs but isn't a big fan of kitties.

Adele does have some special medical needs, including kidney disease that requires weekly fluid treatments and several daily medications to help keep her feeling her best. She's looking for a dedicated, loving person who is comfortable helping her manage these needs. In return, Adele promises plenty of companionship, sweetness, and Chihuahua charm!

This little lady came back into our program after her guardian could no longer care for her. She can still be startled by loud noises, so a calm, peaceful environment where she can feel safe and loved would be ideal. Could you be the special someone she's been waiting for?

Evie
Looks like: Pitbull Terrier mix
Female, 9 years old (estimated), 85 pounds
Meet Evie, a whole lotta love wrapped up in one adorable potato of a Pittie! This sweet senior lady is as lovely as they come. Evie seems to think everyone she meets is a friend just waiting to happen, whether they have two legs or four! She's happy to make friends with dogs, kids, and even cats!

Evie is also a wonderful walking buddy! She's great on leash and would probably be thrilled to add a few more strolls to her daily routine. A little fresh air, some quality time with her people, and plenty of affection sound like Evie's idea of a pretty perfect life. And with a face that sweet and a body built for maximum snuggling, we suspect she'd be an excellent couch companion, too. If you're looking for a friendly, easygoing girl with a big heart and a little extra potato to love, Evie might just be your perfect match!

Evie joins Peace of Mind Dog Rescue after her guardian passed away.

Jason
Looks like: Maltese
Male, 11 years old (estimated), 8 pounds

Your patience will be rewarded as his happy personality starts to shine through, and you get to see him blossom into his true self!

Jason is joining POMDR from Hitchcock Road Animal Services, where, due to his senior status, he was deemed a good fit for our program.

Because Jason needs a delicate touch, he is looking for a special someone to step up as his foster before he can enter the POMDR program.

Zero
Looks like: Poodle
Male, 6 years old (estimated), 15 pounds
Zero is a charming boy. Despite being attacked by a dog, he remains sweet and docile. He is looking for a special someone who can help him recover. In return, you get his adoration and love. He just needs a place to curl up so he can become himself again.

Zero joined POMDR from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after he was found as a stray. Due to his severe wounds and need for emergency medical care, he was transferred to POMDR. He is now stable, recovering, and searching for his foster.

Boo
Looks like: Pit Bull, Husky
Female, 9 years old (estimated), 50 pounds
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.

Boo is a big girl and needs a foster home before she can officially join the POMDR family. Can this girl curl up on your couch?

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.

Miss Loretta joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray. Due to her medical need and her senior status, they felt that she would do best in a rescue setting to find her forever home.

Loretta is currently cozied up in a doggy suite, awaiting her foster family. If you are interested in giving this sweet senior a loving landing spot, please reach out today!

Gabby
Looks like: Schnauzer, Poodle mix
Female, 13 years old (estimated), 37 pounds
Gorgeous Gabby may be enjoying her golden years, but this sweet senior Schnoodle still has plenty of pep in her step! She loves her daily walks, basking in the sunshine, and staying close to her people for gentle pets and affection. With her moderate energy level, Gabby is the perfect companion for someone who enjoys a leisurely stroll followed by a cozy cuddle session on the couch.

Gabby is as easygoing as they come. She gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats, making her a great fit for many types of homes. She isn't demanding or overbearing - just a calm, loving presence with soulful eyes that have a way of capturing everyone's heart. Gabby is also delightfully quiet, usually only offering a bark or two every few days when she's hoping for a little extra attention.

One of Gabby's many wonderful qualities is that she is fully housetrained, according to her foster. In fact, she arrived without even a single accident, which is a rare and impressive testament to what a good girl she is.

Since arriving, Gabby has been receiving the medical care she needs to help her feel her best. She is currently being treated for Cushing's disease and is working toward losing approximately 9 pounds. Her weight loss journey will take time, even with reduced calories, and may require several months of patience and consistency. Reaching a healthier weight is an important step before she can safely undergo a dental cleaning and have a couple of lipomas removed.

Gabby is also an enthusiastic eater and has a habit of consuming things she shouldn't. Her future family will need to provide a safe environment by keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, including products such as snail or rat bait.

Gabby is a special senior girl who deserves a home where her health needs are understood and where she can spend her days feeling safe, loved, and cherished. If you believe life's sweetest companions only get better with age, Gabby is ready to show you just how wonderful a senior dog can be.

Gabby joined the POMDR pack after her loving guardian was no longer able to care for her.

Gabby needs to move fosters soon! Interested in meeting her? Please reach out so that you can come meet this precious girl and let her fill your home and heart with love.

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?

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.
