Fostering An Akita

Be the bridge between rescue and a forever home!

We are currently seeking fosterers that will welcome one of our Akitas in need into their homes.

Are you patient? Compassionate? Have breed or large breed experience?

Can you offer one of our dogs a lifeline and be the bridge between rescue and forever home?

Can you make a difference?

Benefits of Fostering

You

  • Get to make a difference
  • Get to follow that dog on the next chapter of its life having been part of its journey
  • Get the chance to rehabilitate, watch the dog flourish with the right care, dedication and love.
  • Can share your foster dog’s journey, first experiences, give regular updates in order to find a forever home.

The Dog

  • Has time to decompress in a safe home environment before they are adopted.
  • Can experience the comforts of a home life, a warm cosy bed, a garden to play in.
  • Can experience the sights, sounds & smells of life outside a kennel. Exposure to different environments and situations before they are adopted.

ARW

  • Will support your foster journey with guidance & back up.
  • Financial costs are supported, including food & veterinary care (including neutering – enabling the dog to recover in a home environment rather than kennels)

Fostering Requirements

  • House not a flat
  • Secure garden with robust 6ft fencing
  • If house is rented, written landlord’s permission must be obtained
    Someone at home most if not all of the day, the dog needs to decompress and adjust to home life especially if they have been in kennels.
  • It can take 3 days for your new dog to decompress from travel, 3 weeks for them to learn your routine, and 3 months for them to truly feel at home.
  • Dependant on the particular dog, we may need pet free or adult only foster homes too.
  • Means to separate if necessary
