Fostering dogs saves a lives!
Urgent Appeal NOW !
Following our recent spate of rescues we are now desperate for
your help, we have two options, short term and longer term. Our
Galgo rescues are already committed to homes in Belgium, and while
the paperwork is completed we need homes for 4 to 6 week periods
in order to complete this prior to their departure. Alternatively
choose any dog from the web site and we can arrange for that dog
to be fostered by you.
These dogs could be with you for a few days or as long as you can
manage since we would wait for an adopter to come forward before
re homing the dog. All we ask is that if you are unable to keep
the dog for any reason such as a visit to the UK you give us as
much notice as possible in order that we can arrange alternative
care.
If you already own a dog and are uncomfortable about introducing
a new dog into your home temporarily then let us help you with our
qualified behaviourist with 14 years of experience. She can also
help with any aspect of behaviour issues and is very capable with
helping from a wide variety of problems from aggression to barking.
 Foster
care consists of providing a safe, loving, temporary home for a
dog until a permanent adoptive home can be found. All dogs are screened
for health and temperament before entering our program. We can only
rescue as many dogs as we have foster homes!
We provide food, basic supplies, veterinary care, and guidance.
You provide the love, training and home. The dog provides you with
love, joy, and the satisfaction of having saved a life. Some of
the foster home responsibilities are:
- Be willing to provide a temporary foster home from rescue to adoption.
- Be patient and understand that all dogs are
rescue dogs.
- Notify us immediately in the event the dog is sick or lost.
- Take the dog to medical appointments and adoption events whenever
possible.
- Keep us informed about your foster dog's personality, quirks, behaviour, etc. Your input is invaluable for describing the dog on the website and to potential adopters.
- Treat the dog as a member of your family.
We welcome foster homes that work to find permanent homes for their
foster dogs. We do understand that parting with the first dog is
the hardest, but the rewards for saving lives are beyond measure.
Please, if you really care about local animals and want to really
make a difference then call us and discuss how best you can help
us help the dogs. If you would like to help us by fostering a dog
please
