Permalink Closed

Well, anyone fancy fostering??....We've had a bit of a spate of foster famlies keeping their dogs in the last few months (you may have noticed!) so GAL are now down to 9 foster homes......this time last year we had 25!..CAN YOU HELP? It's such a worthwhile thing to do. For more info please email david@gal.org.uk


thank you..

If you personally can't foster then why not print off some fostering posters and put them up around where you live? shops, park noticeboards etc..

We have three rats... we just keep the dogs and rats separate !

Go on - Foster a doggy or two its well worth while !

For all you people out there who only have one dog, please consider taking in a second dog as a foster.  Or maybe you have a dog loving friend or relative.


 Having 2 dogs is manageable and it's great for them to have a friend.    


The benefits a homeless hound receives in foster care and the help to GAL is immeasurable!!

I'll vouch for that! The transition from just one dog to two was totally painless in my experience & having a pal has been wonderful for Murphys confidence aswell....

Just a reminder Dave we can take SHORT term dogs off your hands if that helps.

We don't have the room for anymore long term dogs with me being a childminder.
Too many kids and dogs in such a small lounge.

Fraid it's not possible, as discussed with you previously the dogs we expect our foster homes to take are ones straight from the track, 99% of whom would make smart work of your rats and cats.
