Life can change in an instant. At British Dalmatian Welfare, many of the dogs entering our care come from emergency situations—owners who have sadly passed away or neighbours who have inherited a dog they aren’t equipped to care for. In these moments of crisis, these vulnerable Dalmatians need more than just a kennel; they need a home.
Fostering provides a vital “safety net.” It allows us to see a dog’s true personality in a real home environment, ensuring we find them the perfect forever family.
Could you be that bridge to a new life? While saying goodbye can be bittersweet, our fosterers know that by letting one dog go to their forever home, they open up a space to save the next one. We provide full support and assessments to ensure the dog you foster is the right fit for your lifestyle—even if you already have a Dalmatian of your own!
