Here's the approach I follow.
What will work depends on how closely you need the word to rhyme. Here are some options, roughly from closest to farthest.
(A) For a PERFECT rhyme. that is, ending with "own-dreez" (Perfect rhyme must match ALL sounds, beginning with the vowel of the syllable with the main accent.)
only one!
"foundries"
very close ("t" is like "d" except without using the voice):
"town trees"
(B) imperfect assonance (=matching of vowel sounds), but consonants all match:
laundries
(C) (usually better than option B):
perfect assonance, that is, preserve the sound of "ow - eez",
but vary the middle consonant cluster
(without one part of the "ndr" cluster):
bounties, counties
sound please, pound keys
(without two parts of the cluster):
howdies, Audis, Saudis, rowdies
cowries, dowries, Maories
brownies
(D) perfect assonance, cononant cluster may vary, cononant at end may vary
1) may use a related sibilant (s-sound) at the end:
outreach
mouthpiece
out east,southeast
2) may simply omit the final z-sound ?
soundly, profoundly, roundly
Roundy, oundy
loudly, proudly
as well as the singular forms of many words listed under option B.

foundries?
Are you asking for the list, itself?
