Be Their Bridge

Foster Care

Becoming a foster carer is incredibly rewarding. Giving a dog the chance to live in a home environment truly makes a difference.

Our foster carers also provide basic training and build the dogs’ confidence, preparing them to move on to their forever homes. Some dogs need a little extra time to adjust, and our UK foster carers play a vital role in helping the less confident dogs settle after their journey from Turkey to the UK. This role is not only essential for the dogs but also deeply rewarding for the foster carers.

In Turkey, we have wonderful foster carers who look after our dogs from the moment they’ve been vet-checked. They help these sometimes traumatised dogs learn what love, good food, a comfortable place to sleep, and a secure, caring environment feel like—often for the very first time. It’s a place where they can heal in mind, body, and soul.
