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:
