Helping senior dogs and senior people since 2009

Become a foster

A guest in your home, for a few months.

POMDR relies heavily on foster homes. We cover the vet care and provide the supplies: crate, bed, leash, bowls and toys as available. You provide the home and the love, until the right adopter comes along.

Before you begin

This takes about fifteen minutes.

What we need from you:

  • Under "First choice", pick Foster Care if it is not already chosen
  • Rough days and times you are usually home
  • Your landlord's name and number if you rent
  • Two people who can vouch for you, with their phone numbers

The second half of the form asks about your home, your yard and any pets you have, so we can match you with a dog who will settle in. Every foster gets a manual, training, an emergency number and a mentor.

POMDR foster application form Hosted securely by Little Green Light, the system POMDR keeps its records in.

If the form above does not appear, open it in its own page. Any trouble at all, call (831) 718-9122 or email info@pomdr.org.
