any other details: I am experienced with dogs only in so far as I have had 2 dogs of my own - a cross breed (prob Lab x Rotti) and a pedigree Samoyed. Both were rescues. Neither of them had any significant behavioural problems and both responded well to the little bit of training that I did with them. I have 2 young children (5 years old) and an older son with some special needs. I am happy to foster a dog but it would obviously need to be good with children, house trained and no known medical or behavioural issues.

I have had 3 dogs stay here on overnights during transport runs and feel we can cope with and offer a good foster home to a calm well behaved dog! Appreciate this narrows it down quite a lot, but feel it is important that I am realistic about my limitations!
