FOSTERING AND ADOPTING

Interested in Fostering for us?
We are always needing foster carers to join the BTRF team. Very often our dogs go

straight into foster because they need medical and / or behavioural support and
then once the dog is ready and if it is appropriate for all concerned, the foster

home is given the opportunity to adopt. Why not contact us for more information.

Interested in adopting?

The first stage of our Adoption Process requires our adopting families to complete
a HOME ENQUIRY FORM*. Before completing the form, it will be useful to read

the information on the website which will help answer any questions you have.

We very carefully match our Beddies (and crosses) to their new homes and offer
back up and support right through the process. For us it is all about making sure our
dogs find the right homes and stay there, so we offer behavioural back up and

support as well as any veterinary support for dogs that have existing medical issues.

We ask that our adopters work closely with us right through the adoption
process. We will do many checks to ensure that the dog is right for your family
situation and that you are right for the dog. Where a dog needs behavioural help,

BTRF will appoint and cover the cost of a fully qualified behaviourist but we then do
expect the family to work closely with that behaviourist. The feedback we get from
our adopters who have gone on this journey with us is that it is very rewarding and

they have felt supported all the way.

* BTRF has recently updated its Home Enquiry Form to capture the answers you
provide and to automatically populate a database that will help us match
rescue dogs and prospective homes. If you previously completed an old style

form and you are still interested in adopting a Beddie, please complete a
NEW HOME ENQUIRY FORM
