How it Works
When fosterers are ready to take on a dog they inform the Foster Coordinator
Fosterers may request a specific dog that they have seen in “Urgent Action Needed” on the DID forum
Once in the foster home, the dog’s listing on the DID forum is moved from “Urgent Action Needed” to “In Foster Care”
The dog settles into his temporary home. After a week to ten days the fosterer completes a Foster Dog CV and returns it to DID. The form provides details of the dog's temperament See More▼

The rewards of dog fostering
DID fosterers come from every walk of life. They have one thing in common; a great love of dogs and a commitment to helping them in the most practical way possible - by taking them into their homes on a short term basis. Fostering takes commitment in terms of time and effort. Most foster dogs will need some basic training, they will need to be walked at least twice a day, they will need love, care and attention. Many DID fosterers have been fostering See More▼

Foster a dog
Dogs in Distress (DID) uses a network of fosterers who offer short-term homes to the dogs that we rescue. We rely on our fosterers to provide a safe and caring environment for our dogs. Foster based care is particularly important and beneficial as our fosterers can provide great insight into the dogs personality and the kind of home he will be best suited to.

Our approach
We neuter, worm, microchip and vaccinate all of our dogs during their time in foster care. The fosterer assists with house training, lead training and general socialisation to ensure our dogs are ready for their new life. Most importantly the fosterer provides love, care and attention to their foster dog.

Some of the dogs that we rescue have not been properly cared for and may need veterinary care. In addition we pay for vaccinations, worming and micro chipping. See More▼

Dogs in Distress is active mainly in Dublin county, Dublin city, Meath, Kildare and Wicklow. Most of our fosterers are based in Dublin and Meath. However See More▼
