K9 Rescue partners with a no-kill, kennel-free sanctuary, where abused and traumatised dogs are rehabilitated and prepared for adoption or forever fostering within traveling distance of the sanctuary near Crymych, Pembrokeshire in West Wales.\u00a0 We have taken the initiative to focus on foreign dogs already adopted into the UK who, due to their past history, have struggled to settle in their new homes or cope with the expectations placed upon them.<\/p>\n
It can sometimes take years for a traumatized dog to be able to integrate back into a family environment. Many times, dogs with a history of abuse find it difficult to cope with even the most insignificant experiences. With our 19+ years of experience working with abused dogs, when space allows, we are able to take these dogs, and provide them with a tranquil space where they can safely decompress at their own pace in a calm and serene environment.<\/p>\n
There are many other wonderful formerly-feral dogs that are nearing the end of their rehabilitation at our sanctuary that could be fostered by families willing to put the time in to help them take the next step towards full integration into family life.<\/p>\n
Our formerly-feral dogs are in various stages of rehabilitation, who would do incredibly well in an understanding home – these dogs are not yet comfortable walking on a lead and it’s not yet safe for them to leave the property, yet a home with a large secure garden in a peaceful setting away from busy towns or cities would be a great introduction to living in a family environment.<\/p>\n
All of our dogs are raw fed for improved health and longevity and this is something we would like to see continued in their new home, as nutritionists advise the additives in processed pet food can interfere with normal thought processes and brain function, so for us, diet is an integral part of the rehabilitation process. For fostering, all food and vet bills are paid for by K9 Rescue, we just ask the foster carer to provide freezer space for their foster dogs’ raw food.<\/p>\n
We also offer a Forever Foster Scheme for some of our older dogs or dogs with specific health issues, where their medical costs are prohibitive to them finding their forever home easily.\u00a0 Please contact us<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n Due to the cost incurred in rescuing and rehabilitating all our dogs, we ask for an adoption donation of between \u00a3200-\u00a3350, according to their age, although concessions will be considered. Please see below for Our Adoption Process.<\/p>\n<\/div>
