How your Plank for Pups donations help…
Foster Carers Wanted
As we face the financial crisis, we’re urgently seeking help for the dogs who will feel the impact.
We’re especially searching for people with space in their homes and hearts for dogs that are more difficult to find forever homes for, such as big dogs, un-housetrained dogs, and dogs with challenging behaviour. If you think you can offer a temporary home to a dog in need while the UK is in financial crisis, please get in touch here.
When Sylvie first arrived into Dogs Trust’s care after being found as a stray, she was a shy, timid girl who was quite overwhelmed by the world. Sylvie struggled to cope with life in kennels. So she went to stay with one of our fantastic foster carers. Read how our foster care scheme changed Sylvie's life and helped her find her forever home here.
