Give a Dog a Safe Place to Land

Sometimes a dog simply needs somewhere safe to stay while we arrange what comes next.

By fostering with Dog Desk Animal Action, you can give them the security and care of a home when they need it most.


Could You Foster?

You don’t need to be a dog trainer or have years of experience.

You need a suitable home, time and patience, and a willingness to work with us.

We’ll talk to you about your circumstances and the kind of dog who may be a good match for your home.


How It Works

Apply → Talk to us → Home check → Approval → Matching → Foster

We match dogs carefully. You will always be given information about a dog before deciding whether you can offer them a foster home.

And you can always say no to a placement.


We’re With You Too

You aren’t expected to know everything.

We’ll provide guidance, answer questions and work alongside you throughout your foster dog’s stay.

Our Foster Handbook explains what fostering involves and what you can expect from us.

What If I Fall in Love?

It happens.

If you decide you’d like your foster dog to become a permanent member of your family, talk to us and we’ll take you through the adoption process.


Could You Be Their Safe Place?

For however long they stay, you can give a dog something that matters enormously:

a safe place to land.
