UPDATE ON REHOMING

Sadly like many other charities across the UK, we are completely full with dogs at our kennels and in foster homes. Due to the rehoming crisis in this country, we are currently very limited as to the dogs we can take in. 

This is largely the result of a huge increase in dog breeding and ownership across lockdown, and the sharp decrease in demand for dogs now. We are seeing many more dogs being surrendered by breeders if they can’t sell litters, or from owners who don’t research or misunderstand the reality of pet ownership. Recently we have seen an increase in puppies and ex breeding dogs, often handed in when the owners can no longer want their dogs, or when puppies develop health issues. We are seeing many more dogs in need of veterinary treatment, each dog that comes in to us costs us on average of £1000. This trend has had a huge impact on our funding and our capacity to take in more dogs.

Thanks to your ongoing support we can continue to be there for the dogs that need us. 

We have recently seen an influx of puppies, like Hazel pictured here, who are often abandoned when they cannot be sold. Often these puppies have behavioral or medical issues that mean they are of no value to a breeder.

Appeal for Foster Carers

At All Dogs Matter we work hard to make our kennels as comfortable as possible, but some dogs struggle in this environment, particularly older and or unwell dogs. Therefore, foster carers are incredibly important in helping provide dogs with the extra attention and stability they need in this turbulent period of their lives. Foster homes also free up valuable kennel spaces so we can make room for more dogs in need so they aren’t at risk of euthanasia.

To be an All Dogs Matter foster carer you need to:

  • Ideally have had previous experience owning a dog and be confident with handling them
  • Be based in North/North West London postcodes or surrounding Essex areas
  • Be at home for some of the day and not leave the dog alone for more than two hours (we can’t consider you as a foster carer if you work full time as lots of our dogs suffer with separation issues)
  • Offer an adult only home or home with children aged 14+
  • Have direct access to a secure private garden as many of our dogs can be nervous and need a safe space to explore by themselves
  • Have your own transport – to take your foster dog to vet appointments
