alex_b Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 A friend has fostered and adopted through Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare (https://www.hershamhounds.org.uk/). They?re an excellent charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdulwicher Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Dog's Trust are worth a look:https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/fostering/They have lots of kennels all around the country - Uxbridge and Basildon are the nearest ones to SE London. Scroll down on that link and they cover off the basic questions. You'll have to go through a homecheck and a discussion as to what sort of dog you're after plus your experience so they can pair you with a suitable dog.If you're after a specific breed, it's worth a search on Facebook as there are a few breed-specific rescues. Generally, they try to get dogs adopted rather than fostered though as they're more volunteer run and don't have the time or resources that places like Battersea and other proper kennels have.

Lockdown meant most shelters went empty because of the demand.Now the times have changed and shelters are experiencing high numbers of surrendered dogs again unfortunately, many under a year old.
