Fostering
for the UK-GSR
Fostering is like owning a dog but without the worry of the vet bills, the UK German Shepherd Rescue will cover all veterinary costs
including vaccinations, micro-chipping and spay and neutering whilst in foster care. The rescue does not cover food unless they require
a specialist diet. On average it costs about £10 per week to feed a German Shepherd, but there are other things you need to think
about.
Equipment
Your foster dog will arrived wearing a collar and lead, if you don't have dogs already you may need to purchase extra
items such as food and water bowls, harnesses or head collars, beds or bedding, toys and treats.
Feeding
The average size German Shepherd
costs about £10 per week to feed (excluding treats) this can vary by the size of the dog and whether the dog prefers complete dry
dog food or tinned meat and biscuits etc, special diets are covered by the rescue.
Worming
A dog will require routine worming treatments
and these can cost £10-£15 every 3 months.
Flea Treatment
A dog will require regular flea treatments and these can cost around £5
per month.
Grooming and Bathing
The rescue expects you to groom and maintain a dogs coat and ensure nails are not overgrown, visits
to the groomers are not covered by the rescue nor are shampoo's for home bathing.
Vets Fees And Insurance
Foster dogs or any dog belong
to our rescue are not covered by pet insurance, all veterinary costs are out of pocket expenses for the rescue. The rescue has on
average over 42 dogs, so vet bills can be a huge strain on resources. We cover all "approved" veterinary costs but don't cover unapproved
visits so please always ensure you have completed a veterinary request form before attending your vet.
