Foster a dog

Fosters are the unsung heroes of dog rescue. These are the people who selflessly welcome a dog into their lives – sometimes for only a few days, sometimes for many months – to provide a vital steppingstone between shelter and forever home.

Despite the common misconception that dogs in need of foster are ‘adoption rejects’ who need help working through behavioural issues, there are a great number of reasons why a dog may need a foster home. Whatever their story, the time spent in your home will provide a foster dog with an invaluable opportunity to learn, settle and prepare themselves for what comes next.
