Foster carers are always urgently needed, and temporarily looking after dogs until a forever home is found is an immensely rewarding experience. And, of course, if you fall deeply in love with your foster dog and decide to keep him or her, you can adopt.

Once Loved Dog Rescue takes in all breeds, but many of their dogs are Staffordshire Bull Terriers who have been rescued from Death Row. Please don't be put off by the negative press about Staffies. When treated kindly they make wonderful family pets and are extremely loyal and affectionate.

The Oldies Club rehomes dogs of all breeds over the age of 7. Many of these dogs have lost their lifelong owners through death or serious illness, and need a loving home for their twilight years. Older dogs are very undemanding. They ask only for a comfortable bed and your loving company, and if you're thinking of fostering or adopting a dog, but don't have the energy for a puppy, please consider taking in an oldie.

Foster carers are highly valued members of the teams in all of these rescues, and by becoming involved you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are enabling more lives to be saved.
