How our current Part-Time Fosterers support us:

Part-Time Fosterers provide short-term care for Hounds for Heroes puppies and dogs when a Puppy Parent or full-time fosterer is away, or when we want the dog to experience a different lifestyle. As a part-time fosterer, you’ll maintain basic training and provide socialisation, exercise and care, helping our dogs continue their development and prepare for life with their future Partner.

In these situations, we would use one of our part time volunteers. We still expect their basic training to continue but it is not necessary to attend classes.

Holiday cover could be anything from the odd day here and there to weekend breaks up to a maximum of up to 4 weeks cover.
