O'side Dream Foster Home

27/05/2024

10 years ago was the beginning of our foster journey. Momma Sadie and her 6 puppies started it all.

Just a peek at a day in the life of Sadie's puppies - at least for now!

With Thrive Animal Rescue – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉 We love Thrive - because they love to rescue dogs in need!

Puppies leave our home tomorrow; soon in search of their forever homes. Not certain, but these little girls should be available for adoption Thursday or Friday at San Diego Humane Society in Oceanside. I can honestly say that they are super sweet and ready to adore you. They come running when we call and can't wait to be with their favorite people. That could be YOU!

These puppies gathered around their food tray, threatening to contact the authorities if food didn’t arrive soon. Of course we had to oblige! 

26/04/2024

We mostly love fostering, but it’s not always awesome! To be fair, foster puppy Gary has no idea what happened to these remotes.

Puppy meal time is frantic and funny! “ hey girls! It’s easier if you climb right into the food!”

22/04/2024

We call her Bebe and she doesn't seem to mind. One stunning blue eye - she looks awesome even though it's not a matched set. These husky pups should be available for adoption for the SD San Diego Humane Society in Oceanside CA sometime next week!

Just a 10 day assignment for O’side Dream Foster. But it’s going to be a lot of fun with these puppies!

Oh boy! Huskies in the house!! Foster boy Gary insists that they come out to play…

Still trying to figure out linking the Osidedream foster Instagram account! (https://www.instagram.com/osidedreamfoster/) In the meantime, it was an eventful weekend at O’side Dream Foster. Two sweet dogs have moved on to their forever homes. 🎉 Bibian was so playful and fun! Resident foster fail Piper LOVED playtime and walks with her. And tiny Chihuahua Hazel was a bundle of puppy energy love and fun. Let’s don’t mention the extremely sharp little teeth. Missing them already…🥺

The shelters and rescue groups are overflowing with terrific pups. And this isn't just a local problem! The SD Humane Society is looking for help during this crisis. If you can help a little or a lot, please consider fostering. It's the most rewarding thing we do; find out for yourself how much joy this can bring. https://www.sdhumane.org/support-us/volunteer/foster/ -dog-foster

Our Foster girl, Hazel seemed really interested in my ears today. Now if I could get her to do something about my hair in the morning…

22/03/2024

We've been so busy with fosters that we haven't been good about updating our page. We have two sweet girls right now - this one is Hazel, a 1.5 lb Chi mix. Sweet as can be and should be available for adoption from the San Diego Humane Society in 2 to 3 weeks. (Unless we adopt her first!)🙂

Well, sweet Zandra has returned to the Oceanside San Diego Humane Society and is available for adoption. Though we understood her to be shy and anxious at the shelter, Zandra was a totally different dog in our home. Playful, friendly with people and dogs, energetic (she can ZOOM!), cuddly - just a joyful young dog! When we first got home she jumped on my lap! She did turn out to be a little overwhelming to our resident dog; Zandra is twice the size of Piper and desperately wanted to play. She will needs some additional training, but she's smart and treat motivated - she'll learn! And it's apparent that Zandra would LOVE to be your second playful dog.

02/02/2024

We waited a full 24 hours before picking up our next foster. Zandra was having a tough time at the SD Humane Society shelter. She's an anxious girl, and the constant noise at the shelter was getting her down. So we're seeing how she behaves in our home! Wish this sweet girl luck!

Our sweet foster Candy - now Sandy - has arrived at her forever home! And we're thrilled that this playful girl has a fur-buddy to play with. Life is good!

25/01/2024

Walk dogs, pet kitties, foster dogs, puppies & kittens - this is truly good work!

09/01/2024

This is a couple of months old, but we love getting pictures of our past foster pups! Re**er was a sweet foster boy we had two years ago. His name tells part of his story - he was rescued from an illegal cannabis grow - thus the name Re**er. Our thanks to Judy for the updates and for giving this sweet boy the best forever home!

06/01/2024

Wow! Candy looks like a different dog now that she's been groomed!

02/01/2024

Here's our new foster girl, Candy! She's shy but settling into our home nicely. We'll post more pictures after her grooming appointment. She appears to be about 2 to 3 years old, listed as a miniature Schnauzer mix, weighing around 20 lbs. She will be available through https://www.thriveanimalrescue.com/ before too long!

25/12/2023

As soon as I get a decent picture, you'll all get to meet our latest foster girl. Spoiler alert, she's sweet and adorable!

22/11/2023

Fostering is a great way to give comfort, love, and shelter to a dog that has been left behind, abandoned, dumped, or surrendered. Consider it if you have any extra love in your heart and home!

20/11/2023

Please join us in welcoming Willow, Phoebe, and Molly to our O'side Dream Foster Home!They'll probably be with us through the Thanksgiving holiday and should be available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society in Oceanside in early December. They all appear to have some Shepherd in the mix, so they'll be good sized adults. All are sweet as can be!

We don't know who chewed on your Crocs. NOW will you pick us up?!!

02/11/2023

Please welcome our three sweet foster pups! Looks like some chihuahua in the mix!

07/10/2023

So many great animals looking to fill someone's life with love!

29/09/2023

Well, the shelter is bursting at the seams with great dogs and cats. And with 50% off adoption fees, this is the perfect time to bring home your new best friend!

12/08/2023

A forever friend at next to no cost?

Cocita is in the house! She was picked up by a good samaritan on the street - hungry, cold, exhausted. As always, the SD Humane medical team stabilized this sweet girl, got her warmed up - and let the foster team find her a temporary place to continue her recovery. That's us!
