Dogs Trust has appealed for more foster homes in the West Midlands to provide furry friends with a loving home.

There are currently 70 dogs waiting to be rehomed in the rescue charity's kennels in Kenilworth, Warwickshire. 

Dogs Trust is urgently appealing for more volunteer foster carers across the West Midlands as demand for its Freedom service, which supports people fleeing domestic abuse by temporarily fostering their dogs, has doubled over the last five years.

The charity highlights the strong link between domestic and animal abuse, and the lack of pet-friendly accommodation, which leaves many victims unable to escape unless their pets are cared for safely.  

Data from the National Crime Survey for England and Wales shows that the prevalence of domestic abuse continues to remain high, and almost 8 per cent of people aged 16 years and over - around 3.8 million people - had experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2025.

Freedom provides full support, covering all costs and veterinary care, while ensuring confidentiality and keeping owners connected with their dogs until they can be reunited.
