Could You Open your Heart & Home to a Foster Dog?                 

We have a number of dogs coming from homes or in kennels that would benefit from a foster home. Foster homes are the most effective way to evaluate our dogs and bring them back to health both mentally and physically as well as teaching them some basic rules.

Foster homes should have some dog knowledge or experience. Full back up is given and all costs such as vet bills etc will be met by us although most foster homes usually cover food as a contribution.               

There is no set time frame for the dog to be in the home however a couple of weeks are normal for them to settle and be assessed. You will help us to find out what they are like around other dogs, possibly cats and children and help us to find the right home for them. Fostering is a rewarding experience as many dogs come in timid and scared and leave their foster homes as happy and well adjusted family pets. 

We take time to ensure you are matched with the right foster dog, and take into account your home circumstances, family set up, other pets etc. Some foster homes can more or less take anything, others only small dogs, puppies, older dogs, or certain breeds.

If you think you could open your heart and home to a foster dog then please email Kate at fosters@hoperescue.org.uk

You will be required to complete a foster form, undergo a homecheck and sign a fosteing agreement.
