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:

Agatha
Looks like: Terrier mix
Female, 13 years old (estimated), 17 pounds
Looking for a true sweetheart? Agatha is as sweet and gentle as they come! This darling lady landed at a local shelter in horrible shape. This poor girl. Her body was covered in feces, she was severely overweight, matted, suspected to be in heart failure, and could barely even stand. It was truly heartbreaking to see any dog in this condition but Agatha proved to just be so loving despite the neglect.

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.

Pedro Pascal
Looks like: Pug
Male, 10 years old (estimated), 25 pounds
Pedro Pascal is a small pug with a big personality and even bigger dreams. Named after the internet's favorite actor, this four-legged heartthrob has a flair for the dramatic and a passion for snack time. Whether he's patrolling the living room like a true Mandalorian or cozying up for a nap in his favorite sunspot, Pedro brings charm, chaos, and cuddle power wherever he goes. With expressive eyes and a snort that could melt hearts, Pedro is always ready for his close-up.

Pedro gets along well with other dogs although he doesn't seem to interact with them much. Pedro is vision impaired so he's searching for a loving home that can keep him safe in this regard.

This adorable Pug lad joins us from San Jose Animal Services.

Darling Pedro would love to land in a home able to help navigate his vision loss with him. He's an easy keeper who doesn't ask for much. Can he stay with you?

Grandpa Gary
Looks like: Pittie mix
Male, 7 years old (estimated), 50 pounds
Grandpa Gary or Gar-Bear as we call him, if just a gentleman at heart. He's a polite Pittie boy ready to join you for whatever adventure you have in mind. He'll happily tag along, tail wagging and a smile on his face! He's just such a joy to have around. Gary gets along well with dogs of all shapes and sizes! He loves hanging out with his canine companions but people are truly his favorite.

Gary joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray. Due to his senior status, the shelter felt he would do best in a senior focused rescue to find his forever family.

Gary is just about the most lovable Pittie in town! He's looking to land in an equally loving foster home. Interested in welcoming this sweetheart into your home? Please reach out today!

Scampi
Looks like: Shih Tzu
Male, 10 years old (estimated), 12 pounds
Scampi is a Shih Tzu lover's dream! This darling boy is just as sweet as he is cute! He has so much love to share with his people and gets along just fine with other dogs. Looking for a walking buddy? Scampi would love to join! Tired of eating alone? He'll keep you company for all your meals!

Scampi arrived as a stray at Bradshaw Sacramento County Animal Services. Due to his senior status, the shelter thought it would be best for him to land in a senior focused rescue.

Scampi will be going POMDR on Friday, May 30th. He'd love to join a loving foster home soon after his arrival. Can he stay with you?

Barbie
Looks like: Poodle mix
Female, 10 years old (estimated), 12 pounds
Barbie is absolutely darling! She loves people, gets along great with other pups, and is in great spirits despite not feeling her best.

This sweet poodle girl came to us in rough shape with several masses. Fortunately, our clinic is equipped and our fantastic team will be addressing these masses so that Barbie can live the rest of her life feeling great!

Barbie joined us from the Contra Costa Animal Shelter when they reached out for help with her medical needs.

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. She will need a few visits to the clinic to get her masses removed so ideally the foster home would be located close to our clinic in Monterey. Can you open your heart and home to Barbie?

Keeva
Looks like: Australian Shepherd mix
Female, 6 years old (estimated), 48 pounds
Keeva is a people loving Aussie lady looking to take on her next adventure! Keeva is an active girl looking for a family that can take her for many long walks to keep her legs in motion. She'd love to be your next hiking buddy or running companion! Keeva adores other dogs but people are truly her favorite!

This sweet girl joins POMDR due to her guardian's medical needs being too high to meet Keeva's needs.

Keeva will be joining POMDR for her evaluation on Wednesday, June 11th. We'd love nothing more than to see her off to a loving foster home upon her arrival.

Quinn
Looks like: Great Pyrenees mix
Female, 5 years old (estimated), 80 pounds
This incredibly sweet and gentle soul is bound to melt your heart the moment you meet her! Quinn is just a love bug in every way. This darling girl landed at a local shelter shut down and scared. In time she has completely transformed and blossomed into the happy, wiggly girl ready to join your home. She's still on the shy side so for this reason, children seem to be more than she's ready for but she adores other dogs and is a devoted companion with her people.

Quinn joins us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. She was picked up as a stray and went up for adoption but after months of being on the adoption floor with no interest, they figured she might do best in a more senior dog savvy rescue.

Sweet Quinn is looking for a loving home to lay her head in. Can she stay with you? She is still at the shelter until we can secure a foster home for her. We'd love to see her off to a nice foster spot.

Teddy
Looks like: Pomeranian
Male, 12 years old (estimated), 11 pounds
His name says it all! Meet Teddy, the sweetest fluff around! Teddy gets along with other pups and loves the outdoors! His original life plan was to live out his years on a farm but he quickly realized that he is NOT a fan of cats or chickens! That's okay though, because Teddy's new life plan is to walk, play, and snuggle all day in a cozy home! Teddy will be joining the POMDR pack because he was originally supposed to be a ranch dog, until he didn't enjoy some of the other animals. Can he start his new chapter in life with you?

Teddy bear will be coming in for his evaluation on 6/4 and we would love for him to go directly into a loving foster home! Could that be with you?!If you are interested in fostering and you are already a POMDR volunteer, email us.

Sweet Jilly joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services where she was brought in after being found as a stray.

Sweet Jilly has been through so much change since being brought in to the shelter as a stray. We would really like to help her find some comfort in a soft and loving foster home.

Coupon
Looks like: Chihuahua mix

He'd love to hang with you all day while you work or leisure. He takes a twice daily medication and loves it with a little peanut butter.

He's got the kind of snuggles that will make you forget all about your day. Coupon is a seasoned pro when it comes to lounging, so if you're looking for a cozy companion to curl up with on the couch, he's your guy. No coupon required!

Coupon joined us from Santa Clara County Animal Care and Services where he was brought in as a stray.

Cute little Coupon is currently cuddled up in a loving foster home but is looking to move foster homes. Can this little lad join your crew? He's an easy keeper, just looking for a little love!

Looks like: Poodle mix

Izzy
Looks like: Chihuahua mix
Female, 5 years old (estimated), 8 pounds
Meet Izzy, a sweet and curious girl with a heart full of love! Though she can be a bit shy at first, with patience and time, Izzy quickly becomes a loyal and brave companion. She's the kind of dog who will stand by your side and support you through it all.

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.

Izzy came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray.

Little Izzy is looking to move foster homes into a quiet home open to working with her on some minor behavioral quirks. Interested in learning more about Izzy? Please reach out to us today!

He has a bit of osteoarthritis in his hips but he doesn't let that slow him down one bit. Aside from taking in the sights and smells around him, Watson loves a good sunbathing session. He'd love to lounge around the yard this Summer with you!

Watson joins us from the Sacramento Bradshaw shelter where he landed after being found as a stray. Due to his senior status, they wanted to help her find his forever family ready to meet the needs of an aging dog so he joined the POMDR family!
