The team at Give a Dog a Home know more than anyone the responsibility of taking on a dog whether that be adopting or fostering.  We want to touch on what a complicated mass of emotions fostering a dog is. As a fosterer you need the knowledge, experience and intuition. Alongside these emotions comes a large amount of uncertainty about the outcome, ambiguous feelings on taking this often disturbed living being into your home, worrying about whether you can make a good job of it, feeling obliged to others, often unmet, who have either cared for the dog themselves in some way or are willing ..read more

It's Foster Fursday!! A new regular post written by our team of fosterers - wisdom, laughs and tears... ​ Lorraine - Gabby and Zac taught us that sometimes when things don't go as planned, it can turn out to be a blessing in disguise. We were only meant to foster Gabby, but Zac's fosterer fell through so we took him too. It was hard work but worth every second! We had the best time with these guys and we all learnt from each other. And sometimes when things don't work out at first, as in Zac's first home and Gabby's potential adopters, it is all for a reason because now they are with their for ..read more

“I am a Dobermann, cataloged one of the most intelligent and most feared dogs, I have served the US Navy and I will not narrate my dark past on the German side. They called me the devil's dog, today they ask me to behave like a Poodle, they have gone so far as to wear clothes ... I am a Malinois: Gifted among dogs, I shine in all disciplines and I am always ready to work. Today they ask me to relax on the couch all day. I am an Akita Inu: My ancestors have been selected to fight with other dogs. Today they ask me to be tolerant of my peers, and they blame me for my reactivity when one of them ..read more

We rescue puppies and dogs all year round, but this is only half the story. By helping trusted dog-rescuers to spay and neuter homeless dogs in their localities, we strive to reduce the canine overpopulation crisis at its source and thereby reduce the number of puppies born into lives of needless suffering, fear and premature deaths... One of our fantastic supporters, Paul Wheeler, is running a 22km Maverick Race with his beloved woofie in December and we are hoping to raise £200. This will be enough to spay 5 dogs at our chose rescue called Ezios Rescue, in Bosnia, run by a lady called Rus ..read more

Paul is a long time amazing supporter of Give A Dog A Home, and is running two marathons in two months this winter! The first marathon is an incredible 24km and is on Saturday 14th November, around South Downs National Park. All the money we can raise in sponsoring Paul will go towards the dogs we rescue from the very worst of conditions. As many of our supporters will know, as well as trying to offer help and homes to lots of dogs every single month, we also cover long term medical bills and short term fostering costs. Every single penny makes such a difference, and we regularly show how ma ..read more

So, as a new chapter of my life is starting as a rescued dog, there are so many things to think about, understand and work through which means stress levels are high. I can’t cover them all here right now, so am just going to share the most important things for me and any rescue dog in the first few days of living somewhere new. We will have expectations of the new home based on our previous experiences. That does not mean you all have to over compensate, over love, over protect. We need you to do some simple key things to help us realise…..we are now safe. 1. Exercise No thank you. We do not ..read more
