Strix Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 There are so many places I could post this, but here seemed most appropriate... If you could make a difference to a person with a disability, by giving your evenings and weekends to their dog, FOR JUST 4 WEEKS, would you? I've looked into fostering for Support Dogs, who are based right here in Sheffield, and got a phone all this week asking if I'd be interested in short term fostering For some conditions, Support Dogs take the person's pet dog for just 4 weeks, and train it to be a support dog. Whilst in Sheffield, these dogs need a home for the evenings and weekends as Support Dogs do not kennel dogs If I had known this, I'd have volunteered sooner! Is this something you could consider doing? Just think of the life you could change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranza Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 What a fab idea! I imagine those who have lost pets (due to age etc) and can't commit to a full time pet would really get loads out of this. Great find Strix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yes, that thread prompted me to apply as a fosterer, but if you read it, they are asking for either holiday cover fosterers or a 12 month commitment - I have never come across the 4 week option either online or in the literature they sent out 4 weeks is probably a much more viable option for far more people, so I thought it warranted a thread in a more 'public' space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
