We are urgently needing pet-free foster homes to allow more senior dogs to come into foster care. Some dogs will be suitable to be adopted out (once vetwork completed), others may be determined to be permanent foster dogs.
We are urgently needing foster homes where there are no other pets in the home (high priority) as these dogs need to be the only dog within the home and they are not cat-tested.
As the dogs are of senior age, they do not require regular walks. Some dogs waiting to come into care may not have seen another dog for years & are not dog-friendly but they are great with people. Having a securely fenced yard with access inside the home is important. Apartment living isn't ideal unless you are on the ground floor and have your own yard.
Shepherd experience is not required for our senior dogs
If you can open your home to a senior shepherd in need, please complete our foster care application form, via the link below and we will be in touch with you as soon as we can.
If we do not have the foster homes available, we are unable to bring the dogs into care but together we can help the seniors who need us
