FOSTER A DOG
Becoming a foster is one of many ways you can help improve the lives of our dogs.
A foster home selflessly provides temporary care to vulnerable shelter dogs that urgently need a home, e.g. young puppies, injured and sick dogs, senior dogs, dogs with severe kennel stress and badly abused or neglected dogs that need socialization in a home environment.
The length of time a foster dog stays in your home varies with the dog’s situation and this will discussed beforehand.
We provide food and vet care, but if you’re able to help with some costs like food, it makes a huge difference for us financially.
You give vulnerable dogs the one-on-one care they desperately need, which can be tough for us to provide in a shelter setting.
Thank you for considering fostering – you truly help us save our dogs and offering them a real chance for a successful adoption!
Would you make a good dog foster?
You love dogs, you are responsible and committed and you have time to help a shelter dog for a certain period of time. Fosters must remember that they are a vital, but a temporary guardian to a dog in need. As a foster you do have some responsibilities like providing the dog with food, shelter, love and attention and education; transporting your dog to medical appointments and adoption events, administering medicines and adhering to special diets.

“Turtle was a stray when she was knocked over by a car at just 3 months old. Three of her legs were broken. We were fortunate enough to foster Turtle twice through her recuperation after operations. Fostering is so rewarding, she is such a loving and brave girl and we were able to provide her with a calm, caring environment whilst helping with her physical needs. If you have a week, month or maybe longer where you think you might be able to provide a temporary home for these special cases, it really makes a difference to their lives and also helps Akira tremendously!”
