I have my own secure garden, the back garden is separate from the front.
I have access to transport to pick up a foster dog and am able to transport the dog back to Many Tears (Llanelli) or an approved vet in an emergency.
I am happy for potential adopters and any resident dogs to come to my home.
I am ready to start fostering within the next two months.
I am planning on becoming a regular fosterer (if my circumstances allow and there are suitable dogs) and am not planning on fostering with a view to adopt.
Any children living in the house are over 6 years of age and are
dog-savvy and able to follow guidance around dogs.
I am either a home owner or am able to provide landlords consent to me fostering.
