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:

Hamish
Looks like: Westland Terrier
Male, 18 old, 14 pounds
Hamish is a gentle old soul ready to settle into his retirement. At 18, he's learned to take everything in stride. He is good with dogs, though not interested in playing. He loves meeting new people, both out on the street and in his home.

Hamish is house-trained and walks well on leash--an all-around gentleman. His ideal day involves lounging by your side, maybe soaking in the sun or enjoying a nap on the couch.

After being loved dearly his whole life, his guardians were no longer able to care for him and made the impossible decision to find him a new home. Could you give Hamish the safe spot he needs for his twilight years?

Due to Hamish's advanced age, he needs a dedicated foster before he can enter the POMDR program. Can you help this fine gentleman out?If you are interested in fostering and you are already a POMDR volunteer, email us.

Kevin
Looks like: Cattle Dog mix
Male, 8 years old (estimated), 50 pounds
Meet Kevin! He's just the "goodest boy" with a happy heart! Kevin is the perfect mix of chill and cheerful. He's a nice, easygoing guy who's always happy to be along for the adventure. He does well around other dogs, although his excitement can occasionally get the better of him -- he's just really excited to say hello!

Kevin is a great walking buddy. He enjoys getting out, sniffing around, and taking in the sights. He's got that happy, upbeat energy that makes spending time with him a whole lot of fun! He's not looking for anything too complicated, just someone who appreciates a good dog, a good walk, and a little enthusiasm along the way.

Kevin joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after he was found as a stray. His family was found, but unfortunately, they were not in a place to care for him any longer, so he begins his next chapter looking for his forever home.

Cadbury
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Male, 12 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.

She is not a dog that can be around cats or other small critters, as she has an extremely high prey drive and has unfortunately attacked a cat.

After arriving from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento, where she came in as a stray, we discovered that Relish was pregnant! She has now raised her little ones and is ready to find her forever family and be pampered like the princess that she is!

Snowflake - 10/30-11/2 only
Looks like: Chihuahua
Female, 11 years old (estimated), 6 pounds
Sweet little Snowflake is every bit as unique and dainty as her name suggests. This special senior lady came to Peace of Mind after being picked up as a stray by Hitchcock Road Animal Services in Salinas.

Once in our care, Snowflake was found to have some significant medical needs, including arthritis, multiple heart conditions, and ongoing eye care. Thankfully, this little lady hit the jackpot when she found a loving foster family who welcomed her with open arms and were happy to give her the comfort and care she deserved in her golden years. Given her medical needs, they knew she deserved a place where she could stay comfortable, cherished, and well cared for for the rest of her life. So, along with her beloved guinea pig sibling, Milkshake, Snowflake is officially home for good.

Snowflake is in a loving foster home and is just looking for a temporary foster to take her in while they are out of town. Would you like this sweet cuddly girl to come stay with you for a bit?

Rita
Looks like: Maltese
Female, 13 years old (estimated), 10 pounds
Rita is a gal with a heart full of love and a calm, easygoing charm. She's the kind of companion who's happiest in the simple moments: cozy snuggles, gentle strolls, and quietly keeping you company just because she loves being near you. Rita is always ready to settle in close at your feet, beside you on the couch, or wherever her favorite person happens to be. She doesn't ask for much, just your presence, patience, and a soft spot to land. She's cat friendly and has done well living with feline housemates.

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.
