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:

Amber
Looks like: Pomeranian, Chihuahua mix
Female, 8 old (estimated), 18 pounds
Amber is a sweet senior lady whose story tugs at the heart. Life hasn't been easy for this sweet girl lately, and you can see a touch of sadness in her soulful eyes. But beneath that, Amber carries a quiet hope, hope for a soft place to land, a cozy lap to curl up in, and someone who will love her for the rest of her days.

She's gentle, easygoing, and just wants to be near her person. Amber may not be the bouncy pup she once was, but she still has so much love to give and deserves the chance to spend her golden years surrounded by kindness and comfort. A calm, patient home where she can feel safe, cherished, and finally exhale would mean the world to her.

If you have a heart for seniors and want to give Amber the new beginning she's been waiting for, she's ready to meet you. Could you be the one to turn her sad eyes into a happy sparkle again?

Amber comes to us after the loss of her beloved guardian, and we're excited to help her begin a new chapter filled with love, comfort, and the joy of finding her forever family.

Sweet Amber's world has been turned upside down after the recent loss of her beloved guardian. This gentle senior deserves to spend her golden years wrapped in kindness and comfort, and we're determined to help her find that safe haven.

She'll be joining our program soon, but we'd love to make her transition easier by placing her in a foster home right away. A quiet, loving home will give Amber the stability she needs as she adjusts and begins her new chapter.

Could you open your heart and home to Amber while she waits for her forever family?

So if you're ready to give a very special pup his next great journey- no battles, just love. Legolas is waiting for you, ears perked and heart open.

Legolas joins us after his guardian passed. We look forward to seeing him start this next chapter with his forever family!

He lived peacefully alongside other dogs and remains a loyal companion to canines and humans alike. Whether he's at your side on a quiet walk or resting his paws in the safety of your home, Aragorn brings the steady calm of a true king.

He's not one for wild quests or rowdy adventures, he's more into soft beds, kind words, and the occasional treat. Now, he awaits the one who will look into his eyes and see the noble heart within. Could you be the one to crown him with love?

CiCi is the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal, loving pet who will fill their home with laughter and love.

CiCi came to us from a loving military family who is moving away and, due to unforeseen circumstances, can't take her with them. CiCi will need a soft place to land and understandably a good amount of patience while she adjusts to her new life.

Gomez
Looks like: Pug
Male, 6 years old (estimated), 13 pounds
Meet Gomez, the dashing, debonair, and slightly dramatic senior Pug who's ready to steal your heart (and maybe your last slice of pizza). Inspired by the one and only Gomez Addams, he's charming, loyal, and a little bit mischievous, but in the most lovable way possible.

Gomez knows life is better with romance, naps, and snacks, and he's on the hunt for a forever home that appreciates good humor, snuggles, and occasional theatrical sighs. This distinguished gentleman comes with a lifetime of Pug wisdom and enough personality to fill a mansion (Addams style, of course).

If you are ready for a little adventure, lots of love, and a touch of Pug-y drama, Gomez is your man. He is looking for his Morticia. Could it be you?

Gomez joined POMDR after the San Jose Animal Care Center reached out looking for a senior focused rescue for him to find his forever home.

Cadbury
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Male, 11 years old (estimated), 10 pounds
This fun and active little dude is generous with his tailwags, is engaged, happy, and inquisitive all day long, and will provide undivided moral support to whatever you do. Cadbury loves to hang out with his people, snuggle belly-up on the couch, and soak up all the attention he can get. He enjoys roaming around the yard and going for brisk walks or trail hikes. On car rides, he is an excellent co-pilot, preferably taking in the scenery with his nose out the window. He can be selective about other doggy friends, and he will chase after and bark at cats and is thus looking for a feline-free home. We don't know yet how he behaves around children, but we assume that he will enjoy their company.

Besides missing a good number of his teeth, Cadbury is in excellent health. His muscles are toned and his joints are creak-free. With his smiley face and beautiful rich chocolate-colored coat, this lucky little charmer has everyone around him swooning in no time. He is very much looking forward to being part of a loving household and to be your best buddy forever.

Cadbury came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services so that we could address his dental disease.

Nana would prefer to join a home with stability and predictability. She can be a bit confused by new people entering the home. She is hoping for a patient, understanding home that will give her comfort, routine, and reassurance when she needs it. In return, she'll give you unconditional love and a calm, devoted companionship that only a senior dog can offer.

Independent as well as affectionate, Nana is just as content to nap on the porch or lounge in the yard as she is to enjoy a car ride or a slow stroll. She walks beautifully on leash and loves to take in the world at her own pace.

Sweet Nana joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray.

Nana is currently boarding at our Monterey vet clinic and is looking for a loving foster home! Are you interested in giving Nana a safe place to land while she finds her forever home? If so, please reach out today!

Looks like: Chihuahua mix

Zelda recently had one of her eyes removed, and is healing like a total champ. She would love nothing more than to live out her golden years in a warm and loving home.

Zelda came to POMDR from Santa Clara County Animal Services.

Zelda was in a foster home but she really dislikes being around other dogs. Even at 5 pounds, she bossed the other dogs around. Zelda is now at our vet clinic waiting for a foster home where she can be the only pet.

He may not bark much, but when he does, it's with style and definitely for decorative purposes. Think of him as a living, breathing, four-legged scented candle: comforting, charming, and impossible to ignore.

Yankee Candle is looking for a forever home where he can retire in comfort and style. He dreams of a life filled with cozy laps, soft blankets, and humans who appreciate the fine art of senior dog snuggles.

Looks like: Poodle mix
Female, 12 years old (estimated), 12 pounds
Miss Mimi is just a dream dog! This amazing little girl has nothing but love to share with the world! She loves a good snuggle session just about as much as she loves to roll around on the couch. She's just a doll. Mimi gets along great with other dogs and adores meeting new people. New friends are the best! Looking for a walking buddy or Netflix buddy? Mimi is up for whatever you have in store! Mimi's foster describes her as a total social butterfly. She does great on walks and is a smarty pants - figuring out new routines in her foster home super fast! Mimi has come a long way since her breakout of the shelter, and we can't wait to see how her spunky and playful personality continues to blossom.

Mimi joined us from the Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter. They reached out to POMDR after deciding she would do best in a senior focused rescue.

Mimi is currently cozied up at our vet clinic. She'd love nothing more than to snuggle up into your loving foster home! Can she stay with you?
