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:

Nana enjoys a good stroll and will happily sniff the flowers. She walks beautifully on leash and loves slow, scenic walks where she can take in the world at her own pace. Nana gets along great with gentle dogs and would thrive in a calm home where she can be your shadow and best friend. She doesn't ask for much- just a cozy spot, a steady routine, and someone to love her like she'll love you. Ready to bring home your own storybook ending? Nana is waiting.
Sweet Nana joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray.
Nana is looking for a loving landing spot in order for us to welcome her into the POMDR family. With so few large breed foster homes, we must secure a foster spot for her ahead of accepting her into the program. Are you interested in giving Nana the loving home she's always deserved? Please reach out today!

Koda sits on command and could benefit from a loving, patient, and understanding guardian to teach him other basic commands and how to politely walk on leash. He gets along with other dogs but does tend to bark at them when he is out on walks to let them know he wants to play. Koda would not be a good fit in a home that has cats or children.
Koda came to us after his senior guardian passed away.
Koda is a strong and sensitive pup who can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly, especially if you have treats! He's currently doing well in his foster home and has shown himself to be a sweet and loyal companion.
Koda does have one incident in his past where he bit a stranger who startled him by suddenly entering his space after a stressful vet visit. This behavior was out of character and seems to have been entirely situational. Because of this, we're looking for a foster who can be a strong advocate for Koda. Someone who understands dog body language, is mindful of his boundaries, and can help set him up for success. Koda would do best in a home without cats or kids.
If you'd like to see videos of Koda in his current foster home or have any questions about his behavior, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]
