Our foster dogs
What you need to know…
- Our special team of dog-loving foster carers welcome these animals into their lives for a minimum of one month. They learn their personalities and expose them to new situations and adventures, in preparation for their new homes.
- Our fosters are vaccinated, microchipped, worm and flea treated and, if age-appropriate – not too young or old – they are de-sexed.
- Some are referred to us through vet clinics after experiencing career-ending injuries. We arrange and pay for all medical costs and rehabilitation while they await adoption.
- When we rehome a dog, we take great care to match them to the best possible home. Prospective owners must provide a vet reference and undergo a property inspection.
- To contribute towards the cost of their care, we charge an adoption fee of $350.

These working breed dogs are not in our personal care. The advertisements are on behalf of the current owners or rescue groups.
We have a fabulous online network filled with many repeat adopters. If your situation has changed and you need to rehome a working breed dog, you can arrange this here.
