Foster a dog

You may prefer to foster rather than adopt a dog. Fostering one of our 'Special Needs' dogs means that you take home and care for one of our dogs while we remain its legal owner. You may decide that you want to adopt the dog at a later date.

The Dogs' Refuge will provide medication and meet vet costs for any medical condition that exists prior to fostering, and on-going support by way of visits and phone calls if required. In return, foster families will pay the normal costs of yearly vaccinations and periodic flea, heartworm and de-worming treatments. This also includes costs incurred should the dog be injured or fall sick while in their care. Foster families should have a comfy environment and lots of love to give

Please Note: It is essential that people who already own a dog bring it to The Home for a compatibility test with their intended foster dog.
