Fostering a dog

Fostering dogs: how do you do it?

If you are interested in fostering for Hope Rescue you will need to complete a Foster Application form. A member of our fostering team will contact you for an initial chat to discuss fostering in more detail.

Please read the 'Frequently Asked Questions' (FAQs) at the bottom of the page for more information about fostering before you apply.


"Why I foster"

by a Hope Rescue Foster Carer

"There are many reasons why I foster, helping the dogs who have often been let down by humans is the main one. When they end up with incredible homes that send you photos like this with the message "Happy Christmas from Danny", it really makes my day!!

Danny came to Hope Rescue from a puppy farm type of situation. He was lucky that at 10 weeks old he didn't bear the mental scars that the older dogs taken from the same place had. But he was poorly though, with a very bad tummy, jumping with fleas and full of worms.

He was a very hard one to let go, but now has the best life in North Wales with dogs and horses and a very loving family. This is why I foster."
