A temporary home that changes lives

Foster application

Thank you for thinking about fostering a Dobermann. This form helps us match the right dog with the right foster home.

Thank you for offering a Dobermann a safe, temporary home — it is one of the most valuable things you can do for our rescue.

Fosters are for a maximum of 6 months. There are no wrong answers and no judgement. It takes about 10–15 minutes and there are 8 short sections. If a question doesn’t apply to you, just say so.

Once you’ve applied, we’ll be in touch for a friendly chat and, later, a home visit.

If you are looking for a forever home, please use our adoption application instead.

1. About you

So we can get in touch.

2. The dog you’re hoping to foster

Preferences help us search — they are not a promise. “No preference” is a perfectly good answer.

Age bands (tick any)
Would you consider (tick any that apply)
Behaviours you could not manage (tick any)

We’ll always be honest about what each dog can offer. Dogs who’ve spent a while in kennels sometimes need their house-training refreshed, so a little patience helps.

3. Your experience with dogs

First-time fosterers are welcome — this just helps us support you well.

Have you owned a dog before?

4. Your home & garden

A little about where your new dog would live.

Do you own or rent your home?

5. Your household

This helps us pick a dog who’ll settle happily with everyone at home.

Do children live here?
Do children visit regularly?
Does anyone elderly or frail live at the property?
Does anyone in the household have dog allergies?
Are any new babies planned?
Does everyone in the household agree to foster?

6. Other pets

So we can make sure everyone gets along.

Do you have resident dogs?
Cats in the home
Other pets
Do other dogs visit regularly?

7. Daily life & routine

Dobermanns are people-loving, high-energy dogs — this helps us match their needs to your day.

8. Foster terms & commitment

Please read these terms carefully before you apply.

Fosters are for a maximum of 6 months. DRUE will:

  • Supply or fund food for the Dog.
  • Cover the cost of approved veterinary treatment.
  • Provide support and advice to the Fosterer.

Finally

Thank you. We read every application and will be in touch.
