Could you be a doggy foster carer?
Simply put fosterers save lives. Not only does a foster home provide a safe place until a dogs forever home is found but it also provides them with a chance to relax and practice their “home skills”.
Some dogs find the kennel environment difficult, this is where our amazing team of foster carers come in.

Why foster a dog?
Fostering really can be life changing for the dogs who need it most, and we are so grateful to the wonderful people who volunteer their time to make this possible.
Our community of dog foster carers open up their homes and hearts to dogs in need. They provide the comfort to dogs who need a little extra care, such as those who need a calm environment to recover from surgery or a patient friend to help them come out of their shell.
Fostering a dog during their rehoming journey is a rewarding experience and many of our foster carers are repeat foster carers helping many dogs find new homes.
Becoming a fosterer
Your role as a foster carer
With the support of our dedicated team, you will be improving their wellbeing, and work on their training and socialisation, all guided by our experienced team.
You’ll also support their rehoming journey. Rehomed dogs who have spent time in foster often find the transition to their new home easier than those who have had a lengthy stay in kennels. You will be a unique part of their journey and it’s incredibly rewarding.
Your role as a foster carer
Are there any costs?
Pawprints Dog Rescue cover all the costs of foster dogs. This includes providing food, bedding, and toys and any veterinary treatment and routine appointments they may need.(local fosterers use our lovely vets at Animal House Rugby)
Any specific care or training plans for your foster dogs will be discussed with you in detail and our Adoption & Foster care team will be on hand to support you with anything you need
Urgent fosterer appeal
Finn is still waiting to find his forever home and the longer he waits the harder he is finding kennel life 😢.
This little lad probably has had the best life and at nearly 9 years old, he has been very patient waiting for a perfect home.
Finn does have a few special requests that he will needs to find that perfect home and these include…
🐾 A home with ideally just one human as he does find multiple people a bit worrying, so a quiet but active home would be perfect..
🐾 A home with no children, visiting children.
🐾 A home with no other dogs, visiting dogs or other animals.
🐾 A home where he can go out a couple of times a day as he loves his walks.
🐾 Ideally a home with a garden as he loves to play ball and have a run around but this is not essential.
🐾 He is happy going out in the car but prefers the back seat rather than the boot or a crate as he is a nosey little thing so likes to look out the window.
🐾 He loves going to the local country park and garden centre and will happily sit and watch the world go by as his human enjoys a coffee and a piece of cake. All he asks is that you remember to take some of his favourite treats as well.
If you think you could offer the home Finn is looking for, please use the link below to complete and application form. We are currently looking for a foster or forever home for him 💜.
