What else do you need to know?
There are few main reasons one of our dogs may need a temporary foster home; they may be taking a break from their training, they may be recovering from a medical condition, or they are a hearing dog that may need a place to stay while their partner recovers from a medical condition.
Dogs that require fostering may be of any age with varying exercise needs. Dogs with medical issues may need to be given daily medication, some may require rest and lead-walks only. Some dogs may have behavioural issues that have led to them being taking a break from their training and therefore may need careful handling. You may also be required to do some additional training work with the dog if required.
Our brilliant Canine Healthcare Team will provide you with any guidance and support required.
We love dogs, so it is great to be able to offer a temporary home to a whole variety of breeds when they are in need of extra care.
