Our plan is to find suitable foster carers to help care for dogs in their own homes whilst waiting for adoption. Most of the dogs that come in to our care need special attention and bags of TLC. They may have been abused or neglected and will need time and patience to adjust. You will need to have a home visit to see if the environment is suitable and secure, and to discuss any issues or questions that you may have. The Branch will support you in terms of cost and all food and veterinary bills will be covered. We will also supply you with beds, blankets, toys and of course back up support from the fostering co-ordinator. We would ask for a report on the first few days and then weekly on the dogs behaviour and progress. This would be beneficial to the new potential adopter to know what to expect during the settling in process. We would ask that you have experience of caring for dogs and that you are at home for most of the day. You will also need patience to deal with the dog’s odd habits or nervous quirks. You should also live within a 15 mile radius of Great Yarmouth and have no children under the age of 10. This is for the benefit of the child and the animal. You should also have your own transport and be willing to transport the dog to the vets where necessary. If you think that you fit the criteria and you want to do something that is so rewarding then get in touch. If you have dogs of your own we do ask that they are neutered and vaccinated.
Fostering can be hard work but so rewarding when you see a happy healthy dog going to start a new life with their new family. You can say” I made that happen” Fantastic!
