Peace of Mind Dog Rescue

The Peace of Mind Dog Rescue Veterinary Clinic provides veterinary care for the adoptable dogs in our foster/adoption program. The dogs receive an exam, senior blood panel, parasite screening, urinalysis, any xrays, ultrasounds, biopsies or other diagnostics needed. They then receive any necessary treatment, surgery, or a referral to a specialist as needed. The clinic also serves our Helping Paw clients (homeless or low income pet guardians) on a limited basis.

Helping Paw Program - Our Helping Paw Program provides physical assistance for people who need help caring for their dog. This may include volunteers walking the dog, transporting to a vet, groomer, or boarding, or providing temporary foster care for the dog. The goal of this program is to keep dog and guardians together for as long as possible and to prevent dogs from being surrendered to a shelter. Our Helping Paw Program also provides financial assistances needed to individuals who need financial help caring for their dog. This may be used for veterinary care, boarding, training or supplies and is paid directly to the service provider. POMDR has helped 2,683 helping paw clients keep their dogs since October 2009.

Adoption Program: POMDR takes into our care dogs from animal shelters and dogs from guardians unable to care for them. Each dog gets an exam with a veterinarian including a senior blood panel, xrays and other diagnostic procedures as needed, spay/neuter and any other treatment or surgeries as needed, vaccinations and microchip. The dog is then placed in a volunteer foster home, put on our website and advertised as adoptable. The dog goes to adoption events in the community until he/she is adopted to a permanent family. We then follow up several times per year to keep track of how the dog is doing in his/her new home. POMDR has rescued 3,800 dogs in need since from October 2009 through December 31 2023 we have approximately 100 dogs in foster care at any given time.
