Lifetime Foster Dogs
What are Lifetime Foster Dogs?
Dogs aged 9 and over who come into our care are rehomed as Lifetime Foster Dogs.
It takes someone special to offer a home to an older dog but Labrador Welfare believe these dogs are particularly special and deserve the security of a good home in which to remain and enjoy their twilight years.
Lifetime Foster Applications
Applications to lifetime foster a dog of 9yrs or over are considered in much the same way as applications to adopt and will be subject to the same careful matching process and home visit criteria as if the dog were being formally adopted.
Prospective foster carers taking on a lifetime foster dog from Labrador Welfare are expected to provide a secure, loving environment, food, exercise and companionship.
Our Support
Foster carers can be assured of regular contact from our dedicated Rehoming Team who will keep in touch for the rest of the dog’s natural life to offer support and help when needed
The undemanding friendship and unconditional love that comes with opening your heart and home to an older dog are what make lifetime fostering a richly rewarding experience.
Lifetime Foster Carers can expect full back-up support from the charity with assistance for costs associated with veterinary treatment (with the exception of vaccinations, flea and worm treatments and minor procedures such as nail clipping).
