BTRF are quite unique in that as a rescue organisation we ensure that all our foster carers are trained and supported when they take on one of our rescue dogs. This is where our Foster Carers' Training Scheme comes into it's own.....
Sadly, many of the dogs that come into our care have existing behavioural and / or medical issues to some degree - often the nature of rescue. One of BTRF’s prime ongoing objectives is to increase the number of trained foster carers we have immediately available.
Living with a foster family gives a dog one to one care that they may not receive in a kennel environment. It is quieter and less stressful to a dog where simply moving them from one environment to another can cause huge stress alone. Our whole purpose as a rescue organisation is to minimise this stress and help our dogs settle away from an environment they may have lived in for several years.
This will empower the carer with some basic skills to be able to work with the trainer / behaviourist appointed to them in helping the dogs prepare for their new home.
The role of the foster carer will be divided into 6 different levels of care:
The Application Form will ask the applicant to indicate which levels of care they feel they can offer.
