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:

Juice Box isn't about wild puppy antics, he is about quiet walks, cozy naps, and being the steady, loving presence by your side. If you are looking for a mellow sweetheart who will fill your days with warmth (and maybe a little fizz of fun), Juice Box is ready to pour his heart into yours.
Poor Juice Box joins POMDR after his beloved guardian suddenly passed away.
Got space in your heart (and home) for one very special Juice Box? This handsome senior Australian Labradoodle will be coming in for his intake evaluation on September 5th, and we'd love for him to head straight into a cozy foster home. Juice Box is as mellow as they come! Calm, gentle, and totally kid approved. He is easygoing, low maintenance, and promises not to spill on your carpet. All he needs is a foster family to keep him cool while he waits for his forever home. Who's ready to pop open a Juice Box and savor the sweetness?
