Foster a Dog for Christmas

Thank you thinking of fostering a dog for Christmas. Your gift of a home for Christmas is more than a shelter dog could ask for. From our past experience with the Christmas Foster Programme, we’ve found that the process runs much more smoothly when our Dog Rehoming Team can meet families in person. This helps us make sure we match each family with the most suitable dog. We have a duty of care to both our dogs and our foster families, so meeting you in person is a very important part of the process.

To register to foster a dog please visit the shelter in person and talk directly to the Dog Rehoming team. The shelter is open Tuesday – Sunday from 12-4pm and no appointment is required.

The team will only know what dogs are available for Christmas fostering nearer to start/mid December. If they don’t have a dog to suit your home it’s not because of you it’s because we have a duty of care to all the dogs in the NSPCA and to the families who foster for us. Know that we are so grateful that you have made the decision to foster. You details will be kept on file should you select the option for us to kept them as a general foster who can help throughout the year if and when you are available.

Thank you again for making a difference to shelter animals this Christmas.
