Long Term Commitments
There are times when, as a rescue, we become involved with a dog who needs long term care. As a voluntary organisation, relying on the kindness and donations of our supporters to carry out our work this can sometimes lead to difficult decisions having to be made as we have to be responsible when using funds and also make decisions based on the potential quality of life of the dogs we help.
Occasionally, dogs that come in to the rescue have medical problems which will need long term medication, operations or other long term commitments both financially and by way of support and care from a new owner. Normally, we give all the information we can about a dog and we expect a new owner to take a dog and be responsible for its care and vet bills, however, there may be special circumstances when, as a rescue, we commit to some form of long term assistance to secure an excellent and loving home for the dog.
We also have dogs that are too old to stay in our kennels, or are in need of a home environment or special care. In these cases we have a number of very special supporters who act as foster carers, nursing the dogs back to health, rehabilitating the dog or simply just offering a loving home. In these cases the rescue pays for food and vet bills until a home is found.
If you are unable at the moment to home a dog yourself, you might like to consider sponsoring one of our long term dogs. Even £1 a week will make a difference and help us to continue our support.
