Description:

We are looking for quiet, loving respite homes, to look after our dogs whilst they take a break from their training. There are few main reasons one of our dogs may need a temporary foster home; – they may be recovering from a medical condition. – they may be taking a break from their training to assess a behavioural issue. – they are a hearing dog that may need a place to stay while their partner recovers from a medical condition. Dogs that require fostering may be of any age with varying exercise needs. Dogs with medical issues may need to be given daily medication, some may require rest and lead-walks only. Some dogs may have behavioural issues that have lead to them being taking a break from their training and therefore may need careful handling. You may also be required to do some additional training work with the dog if required. Our brilliant Canine Healthcare Team will provide you with any guidance and support required.
