DB Lincoln Greyhound Rescue

We are desperate for foster homes in Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire, & Nottinghamshire areas.
Fostering can be very rewarding. Instead of just helping one or two dogs by rehoming, you can litrally help hundreds.

You can foster for how ever long you would like, but please make it VERY clear from the off set if you can only foster for a short time otherwise we would expect you to have the dog until a forever home can be found.
When dogs have operations it better for them to go into a home enviroment to recooperate. Some dogs suffer terribly with kennel stress and we desperatley need to get these dogs into foster car until a forever home can be found.

What you can expect from us We assist with any medical bills, we can provide food, bedding, collar, lead, toys etc. The dogs just need your time & love. We can transport the dog to you but if you can collect that would save our drivers who might be are needed else where.We offer full back up but please read the following and consider if you really can help us & the dogs.

What we expect from a fosterPatience & understanding-some our the dogs may have been in kennels for a while and will act like little whirl winds once in a home, others may become withdrawn and disinterested.Please be prepared for all situations. The dogs might have forgotten house training, might not walk well on a lead, might not be socialised with other humans/dogs etc. They might chew your furniture, the might dig holes in your lawn, they might not sleep well for a few days- all the things you might expect with rehoming a new dog. They will probably need to be taught alot of new rules.We can not guarantee what dogs are like in a home enviroment as act differentley in kennels.

As we aim to rehome the dogs we will need potential new owners to be able to come and see the dog and need you to be able to assist with this.
We ask that you provide information on the dog to assist with rehoming and photo's if possible. We are very often asked if a dog is ok with cats, children, othr dogs etc so this information is very useful and will help to rehome a dog alot quicker.

Its no use to our rescue or the dog if you give up after just a few hours/days, their kennel space will have saved the life of another dog and we may have no-where to place the dog. Obviousley if there is a huge problem we will have the dog back but can't always arrange transport immediately- so please consider all these things..
