Foster a dog
Dog fostering can be incredibly rewarding. We’ll provide everything you need – and expert support during your four-legged friend’s stay.
Why dog fostering matters
There’s no place like home. For dogs who would benefit from extra care and creature comforts, a stay with a fosterer can do the world of good.
As well as offering an environment better suited to their specific needs, it can help them prepare for life in a permanent home. And it can even make that day come sooner.
Apply to become a dog fosterer
Be part of the magic and give a dog a break from kennels while we search for their forever home on The Dog House. We're looking for fosterers to support us with dogs that could be on the Channel 4 show, so apply now and we hope to place a pet with you by the end of February.
Benefits for you
As a dog fosterer, you can take care of a pet when you have the time available to dedicate to them, with no long-term commitment. This can be great if you have a lifestyle which makes it harder to have a pet full-time.
We’ll provide everything your foster dog needs, so it won’t cost you a penny! And our teams will be on-hand at every step with round-the-clock support.
So, why not become a fosterer and play a vital role in our dogs’ journeys to happiness?
