Rescue Dogs to Adopt - The organisation helps dogs in need by finding them suitable new homes. Some of our dogs have lived in shelters or been abandoned, most of our dogs reside in a dedicated foster home until they find their “for

ever home.”
Rehoming Your Dog – We offer a FREE, confidential service to help owners rehome their dogs safely where they have had a change of circumstances. This service is to prevent dogs going into shelters, being euthanised or sold/rehomed unsafely on social media. We will assist any owner to rehome their dog safely via our own register of adopters wishing to adopt a dog. BK9 Confident E-Learning Courses & Resources - We provide e-learning courses and resources which promote positive practice in canine ownership, welfare & understanding and address all sorts of owner and dog issues using the latest scientific evidence and understanding developed by experienced canine professionals to ensure every owner and their dog has the affordable help they need.

Functional Analysis & Behaviour Diagnostics Reports - We provide these for any owner who requires a thorough written presentation of advice and guidance to combat complex problems where their dog may be demonstrating multiple unwanted behaviours. Different dogs can exhibit identical behaviour, but the behaviour of each dog may have a completely different reason behind it, these reports identify the cause of the behaviour before treatment is recommended, we highly recommend these. FREE Training Courses & Resources - These are available on our website in our resource library. The organisation is committed to promoting positive practice in canine ownership, welfare & understanding via its BK9 Confident e-learning courses and resources using up to date, clear and understandable, scientific based information on how to understand your dog and meet their needs better to prevent unwanted problems and behaviours like separation anxiety, aggression, dominance, fears and phobias, biting, etc. The BK9 Confident courses and resources were developed by Jo Brewer and other associated canine professionals, Jo is an Advanced Canine Behaviourist with 30 years’ experience with rescue dogs. All revenue raised from BK9 Confident courses contribute to the care and rehabilitation of rescue dogs in our foster care, this is our charitable purpose.

These two beautiful boys have not had an easy start to their young life, they were dumped and left to die with their mum and sister by their owner. As if this wasn't enough, the floods that came in October 2018 which hit PAWS rescue shelter full on almost drowned the dogs in their care it was so severe! All the dogs were terrified when the floods hit, it was only the quick thinking of the volunteers that saved the dogs that day. Ice, Sweet and many of their dogs have been housed for as long as possible by the volunteers but more and more dogs have come into their care since October and now their future is uncertain. Simply put, the shelter cannot cope with so many dogs who need foster as they have so many kennels destroyed by the floods which they are unable to use. Please help this rescue, they have been rescuing dogs and cats for 40 years and they need your help deperately. Please go to dogs2foster page to see the video of the floods and the dogs desperate for adoption on our 'adopt a dog' page. PAWS are an incredible, small charity as are ODAT also on our dogs2foster page. Being true brits they try and battle on but they can't survive if they don't have public support and adopters for their dogs and cats, its that simple. We rehomed two of their dogs, one from PAWS (Pip) and one from ODAT (Nacho) please see Nacho's video which is dedicated to his foster carers via ODAT. Both dogs were the most fantastic gift see for yourself by watching Nacho's story on our page or on Youtube. PLEASE help these genuine, dedicated people by sharing, donating, volunteering. We prefer to tell the positive and incredible information about their dogs, not the sad, sad truth of how they survived on the streets before now and that they are all lucky to still be alive! We look to the future not the past at dogs2fosteruk, please support us, we help any dog or owner in need due to difficult circumstances.

The Dogs2Foster UK story

Dogs2Foster UK was founded by Jo Brewer following the loss of two of her own rescue dogs. “We had always re-homed rescue animals as a family, in fact, I can’t recall us ever buying a pet. When we lost our beloved dogs in a short space of time, we were completely devastated and lost without them. Home just didn’t feel like home any more so, we decided to re-home another dog/dogs which we assumed would be quite straight forward!

We spent most evenings for two months completing endless dog adoption forms through various charities large and small for dogs that needed a good home who we thought we’d be a perfect match for. These were all wealthy charities, the sort we donated to for decades - obviously they could afford the best marketing managers, but when it came to actually adopting from them, they didn’t even reply to us!

I had my own business, we owned our own home, had a large secure garden, I was able to work around the dog’s routine to ensure it was not left for more than a few hours, I could take the dog to work, we were experienced dog owners, and we were financially stable. Our son was five years old at the time, he was very intelligent around dogs, he’d always lived with them and knew ‘the rules’ of respecting and owning a dog.

After applying to re-home at least thirty dogs and each application taking several hours, some of the rescues never even responded to us and the ones that did turned us down because we had a young child, or some of the dogs were no longer available but were still advertised. It was a depressing and frustrating experience. Here we were, desperate to give a dog/dogs a wonderful home and we couldn’t find one for love nor money. We weren't alone, our dog owning friends who used to walk with us had had exactly the same frustrating experience when they’d tried to adopt!

I eventually found a dog rescue in the Midlands and wanted to adopt two of their dogs who unknown to me at the time were Spanish dogs, this was a whole new experience but geography wasn’t going to stand in my way, we adopted both - Pippa, a pure white Labrador cross with the most loving nature you could wish for and Nacho, an ex-hunting Pointer who had been left for dead, he was covered in scars BUT the most wonderful, gentle boy you could ever meet and both Pip and Nacho were the gentlest of dogs with our young son, in fact they were inseparable, when our son was unwell, Pip and Nacho never left his side. Please see Nacho’s story on our website at www.dogs2fosteruk.org Nacho very sadly passed away two years later after a courageous fight with cancer, our beautiful boy remains in our thoughts every day in our work to help dogs just like him. As any loving dog owner knows, you never get over losing your dogs, you just try and keep the your memories alive by helping more dogs.

I volunteered as a home-checker, and was a charity co-ordinator as well, so I firmly believed I had the experience to REALLY help dogs in need buy matching the right dog with the right home, I had worked in my previous profession and business with people for 25 years so I had a pretty good understanding of people, and dogs are not too different, just easier! I studied advanced canine behaviour and coupled the skills I learnt from my many years working in children and families fostering services.

I wanted to create a simpler arena for people to adopt dogs in need BUT, I also wanted to prevent dogs potentially being abandoned or given up to shelter in the first instance, which is why we help dog owners who have made a wrong choice or had a change in circumstances and can no longer care for their dogs. This may include homelessness, redundancy, wrong breed/owner, illness, bereavement etc.

We are here to try and help as many dogs and owner’s as possible, its that simple! If we can’t help, we try our very best to point you in the right direction.

We are working (with limited volunteers) to build the very first Dog Sanctuary in the New Forest. Our beautiful surroundings are the most perfect place for dogs in need to recover from trauma and abuse. In fact, it saddens me to feel that in the New Forest, one in four households own dogs and yet we have such little support for our project. I grew up on a small holding in Brockenhurst, nowhere is more perfect for a sanctuary than the New Forest. If you really want to help, please support our project.

In times like this, wouldn’t it be wonderful for us all to have a sanctuary with the dogs where we can grab a cuppa, watch the dogs progress in training, attend events with your dog(s), feel at peace and remember our loved and lost canine friends - this is how the sanctuary would be, a place for all animal lovers, all ages, but most importantly surrounded by wonderful dogs who need our help!
