Detailed Description

We need committed volunteers to foster dogs in their own homes, to provide an essential service to families in crisis. The Dogs Trust Freedom Project is a dog fostering service for families fleeing domestic abuse. Volunteer foster carers play a crucial role by providing vulnerable dogs with a loving home until their owners are in a position to be reunited with them. Given the nature of the project, we quite often need placements for dogs at short notice. We look for volunteers who are committed and flexible as these are invaluable qualities that enable us to assist families in crisis. Foster placements generally last between six to nine months, we provide everything the dog needs as well as ongoing support throughout the foster placement.
