With kennels wanting their space back for summer boarders and people losing their jobs and homes, we are in dire need of fosterers within an hour or so of Croydon, Farnham, Gatwick or Guildford, Surrey. We have 3 dogs coming in and we don't have anywhere to put them! Here is an example of what we face:
Another couple lost their home. Nowhere for their dog to go. Drove it to 'a rescue' on Tuesday, but they didn't even need to get as far as the small print on the surrender form. They were told to take it back to their vets and have it put to sleep. They have had it sleeping in a friends garage, in a van for 2 nights plus. We have had him neutered last Friday with a view to us trying to find somewhere for him by tomorrow.
As far as we know he has no hangups with people, dogs or horses or medical problems and is happy to be brushed and bathed and is a worried old gentleman who just needs a twilight resting place. The 'other rescue' wouldn't even give him a chance, not because he's difficult or has a history, but just because he's old and therefore of no worth, so expendable. He has grown very loving over the last 3 yrs and now likes to sleep close by.
Owners have been told by new landlord they can only have 2 dogs not 3..and as they feel lucky to be able to take 2 they cant argue. However the landlord has agreed to them taking Max in until he is homed, so we will be doing a direct homing from his house.
These photos were taken after he was neutered so that's why he looks groggy...

Circumstances like these occur everyday for us, so if you are able to foster we will be able to save a dog like this who hasn't got a chance. Please get in touch if you can foster for as little as 2-3 weeks or more if you can! Thank you.
