We leave food in easy to reach places, kitchen worksurfaces, coffee tables, bins. Perfect places for our dogs to do what has kept them alive as a species for thousands of years. scavenging and foraging, using their nose to find food. And us weird humans shout and get angry, wonder why our dinner got stolen and think of them as bad dogs.
We think sniffing natura ..read more

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
