Fostering a dog

Does anyone have any experience or things to consider apart from the obvious?

I can't give a long term home to a dog but can possibly do short to medium term.

I think its something to offer as some local kennels have dogs that cannot cope with a none domestic life or have been in situations that they would benefit from a more one to one or almost 24 hr company approach.

Any constructive advice would be appreciated.

I dont know the foster site - but my breeder gave two dogs to epilepsy detection. Their first year is spent in a family home where they are socialised.

The first year is the hardest granted - many sleepless nights, as well as toilet training but after the year dogs are then taken for the necessary training.

I would think it's the same for guide dogs?

This is more to support shelters or people with domestic situations who are themselves homeless or cannot manage their dogs for a period of time

yep, maybe google a particular breed you find interesting. I have springers and there are dedicated homes form them. Grossly miss understood dog and families often cant cope with their energy. As much as the dog may well have a decent temperament, they are re-homed due to no fault of their own.

Waffled a little - but I have heard it's the same for great danes.

I would say there are websites for people who are in financial difficulty, or have had injury where they cant cope - I would be cautious that it isn't a rehoming organisation and is a foster site. You could well be left with the dog or it would be changing hands constantly, which isn't good.

Try pets in crisis. Look on the dvconnect website.

Try Dog's trust as they have a scheme set up for homeless people who can't take pets into temporary accommodation but don't want to give up their pets

Damn!

I know there is a programme in the UK which fosters pets for those who have had to leave a home due to domestic violence, often the pets are on the receiving end of the violence too. I foolishly did a quick Google and posted the result.

Or maybe an older dog? They would love to have a nice comfy home for their twilight era. You would have to be pretty strong willed though, but it would be an amazing thing to do xx

My kennels do not have a good word to say about Manchester dogs home. I realise this is going to be a little contentious but they neither treat the animals with care or are concerned about who they go to.

The words out of his mouth were 'I would never send a dog to that home', 'it's a shame they suffered both there and in death, but I would not wish that place on any animal'.

That's why I said to OP be cautious of any dogs home that you are not left with the dog for life. There are quite a few shelters that breed dogs for profits, any they cant sell go in their home and are moved on that way.

I will check carefully what I do, helping someone when being helped with a domestic situation or similar seems what I feel most drawn to but I will see what's needed by the dogs homes.
