Could You Foster?
As the rescue approaches its 6th Birthday we are in ever increasing need of good quality foster homes for the daily demand for rescue spaces.
Fosterers are an essential resource for The Little Dog Rescue. We do not use kennels, believing that the best means of assessing a dog for a home is in one. Our fosterers come from all walks of life and we are happy to accept applications from part time working homes, young families, retired people or those with disabilities.
It is not essential that you are a dog owner, or have previously owned dogs, although obviously experience is useful for dogs that need a little more work before homing. What is important is that you are able to offer a secure garden, a safe home, time and commitment, and that you are willing to keep our internet forum updated with news of the dog you are caring for. We promote positive training, and do not use punishment or harsh methods. An ability to drive is not essential, but does help us greatly as it reduces the extra work our volunteer drivers have to carry out for vet trips etc.
We do not use foster homes where a resident dog is not neutered or spayed unless there is a valid reason for this (eg: age / health issues).
To find out more please read the details on the link below, where you'll also find out how to apply.
WE NEED YOU! Don't just think about it...take that step today
I Can Foster!
