JOIN OUR FOSTER SUPERHEROES
Ellie's rescue has no base of operations or kennels. All dogs that we save are fostered by amazing volunteers from around the Wellington region, they are our superheroes.
Fosters look after the dogs in their home providing love, food, shelter, water, safety, training and exercise like they would their own pet. It can be truly hard to say good-bye, but it is a really rewarding experience knowing you have saved that dog.
Ellie's provides everything required to the foster family including food, bedding, bowls, and a crate if needed. All dogs are treated for fleas and worms and we pay for all the vet visits for the dog/puppy. A typical foster placement varies from 2 weeks to 6 months.
Requirements for fostering:
All of our dogs are to be indoor dogs and not be chained.
Live in the Greater Wellington region.
Fully fenced, secure area for toileting on your property.
Time to devote to training and socialising the dog or puppy.
Able to get them to vet appointment for de-sexing, vaccinations and microchipping.
Able to send photos and updates to us so that we can accurately find suited forever homes.
Patience for the dog or puppy.
Be willing to give the dog AT LEAST 5 days to settle in before returning the foster dog.
What to expect
The dog or pup may not be house trained.
Your existing dog and the foster might not get on immediately.
The dog may have been abused before and skittish /shy.
When a rescue feels safe and at home, you will see a new side of the dog and see them open up to you.
We will be there to support you and we will provide everything we can to make sure you are safe and looked after.

Please note: our committee is made up of a small number of passionate volunteers who have other jobs, families, etc. We will get back to you as soon as we can but it may take us a week or two in some cases. Please be patient.

Beautiful Duchess is in foster care with our amazing long term foster Deb. Duchess had surgery not long after she arrived to fix a luxating patella and has now found a new lease of life.
