But before you go...
If you've made the decision to add a canine companion to your family, but haven't fallen in love with the dogs we currently have here, don't give up on us! We get dogs coming through all the time, and rehome for local stray dog kennels too. Many of these dogs get snapped up before we even have a chance to put them on our website.
How? Well... they've completed our adoption application form and instead of putting the name of one of our current dogs, they've said "Any" and tell us about the sort of dog that would fit in well with their family. When the potentially perfect dog comes into our care, we call them first, before promoting the dog elsewhere.
These are some of the dogs we've recently rehomed in this way:
OLIVE
SHADOW
JADE
MARY
So if you're prepared to wait for the ideal dog, click the button below to get the ball rolling. We'll process your application. Our homing manager will call you to have a chat about your application and then arrange a home visit. This is so that the rescue is able to determine that we're all in agreement about the dog that will best suit your family, your lifestyle and your activity levels.
CAN YOU BECOME A FOSTER HERO?
Council stray dog kennels can hold a dog for 7 days, during which time they make best efforts to trace owners if the dog is microchipped or wearing a tagged collar. If unclaimed, they need to find them a rescue, because council facilities are inundated and simply don't have the space for them.
We want to help home as many of these dogs as possible, but we also have limited space in our kennels, so we need fosters to provide love and support in their homes, giving these dogs a chance at adoption, and helping them transition more successfully when their forever homes are found.
-
We will provide full support, and cover any veterinary and medication costs.
-
We will lend you dog beds, bowls, leads, harnesses and a crate if needed
-
We can also provide food if required, but many fosters prefer to cover this themselves, rather than have to collect from our kennels.
If you have time and space, please think about fostering. It’s a huge help to rescue centres that are flooded with dogs, some of which have never been left in kennels and are simply there because their owners are sick, or can’t keep them. Kennels are not fun places. They are cold and bewildering. But the alternative is worse. And as soon as one dog is rehomed there’s another 20 desperately needing the kennel space. Fostering is so rewarding, a lot of work but you get so much back and you’ll be helping a dog find its way to a new life. And rescued is the best breed!
- Helping Hounds Foster
Keep dogs like these out of kennels by providing love and support in your home, helping them transition more successfully to their forever homes.
