Dogs Trust Freedom is a free and confidential dog fostering service for people fleeing situations of domestic abuse.
As many refuges aren’t able to accept pets, we understand that dog owners might feel unable to leave their home until they know your dog is somewhere safe too. We place your dog with a loving foster carer for an average of 6-9 months, so you can access a refuge or emergency housing, knowing your dog will be cared for until you're ready to have them back with you.
Dog owners' can refer to our fostering service, or this can be done by their support worker. We would need to be able to speak to both dog owner and support worker to make a referral for fostering.
