We need committed volunteers to foster dogs in their own homes.

• These dogs belong to people who are escaping from domestic abuse and need temporary care until they can be reunited with their owners
• As a foster carer you can enjoy caring for a dog without the lifetime commitment and will be helping dogs and their families to escape violence and cruelty
• There is no cost to you as all food, equipment and veterinary care are covered by Dogs Trust
• As a foster carer you will be fully supported throughout the foster period by our experienced staff

What skills do I need?

In order to be eligible as a foster carer we ask that you:

• Are over 18 years of age
• Have experience of caring for a dog
• Be kind, patient, committed and have a genuine love of animals
• Be at home during the day as we ask that the foster dog is not left for more than four hours

• Be able to commit to the project for at least six months

Location

This opportunity can be carried out whilst working from home.
