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:

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!

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.

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.
