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:

Our staff and vet team have Agatha cleaned up and looking and feeling so much better already but she really needs a home she can lay her head down in. Can you help? She's looking for a loving foster home that can help her to lose some weight but also to limit her exercise due to her heart condition. She will need more frequent visits to our Monterey vet clinic and some medications. Luckily, she's an easy patient all around. Agatha gets along great with other dogs and seems to enjoy the company of people.
Agatha joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was picked up as a stray in this neglectful state. Sadly her guardians were found but they surrendered her to the shelter not being up able to meet her medical needs.
Agatha is searching for a home that can keep her comfortable and not overly active due to her heart condition. She does however need to lose some weight so this foster home would ideally be able to monitor her diet closely to help with this weight loss.

Barbie is curled up at our vet clinic in Monterey! We are seeking a foster home that can make her feel safe and loved while she waits for her forever home.

Izzy's list of favorite things is long and absolutely adorable. She loves burrowing into blankets, cuddling up inside your sweatshirt, and getting chest scratches. She's also a fan of 3-5 mile walks and, above all, food! For a meal, she'll leap with excitement, leaving all her pride behind for the joy of a tasty bite.
Izzy would thrive in a solo person and adult-only home where she can feel safe and secure. She's a gentle soul who can get overwhelmed around children, so a calm environment will help her shine.
