🚨 Long-Term Foster or Foster-to-Adopt Needed for Rowan 🐾
We are looking for a long-term foster home or foster-with-a-view-to-adopt for Rowan, a young male dog who urgently needs stability, structure, and ongoing support while he receives the care he needs.
Rowan has had a difficult start in life and came from the pound underweight and malnourished. Despite this, he is an incredibly affectionate, sensitive, and people-focused dog who just wants to be close to his humans and involved in daily life.
In the home, Rowan does well with routine. He is clean with good management, settles when his needs are met, sleeps through the night, and can be left for short periods once exercised. He enjoys toys, welcomes visitors enthusiastically, and has never shown any aggression.
Rowan is still young and full of energy. His biggest challenge is walking on lead — he pulls strongly and becomes over-excited when he sees people or dogs, wanting to greet everyone. This is currently made more difficult by the fact that Rowan is living with ongoing pain in his left leg.
Rowan has been diagnosed with OCD (osteochondritis dissecans) and requires further diagnostics and treatment. He is currently on pain relief but remains uncomfortable, which is impacting his training, focus, and ability to fully enjoy normal puppy experiences.
Because of this, Rowan needs a foster home that understands:
✔ Training will be ongoing and gradual
✔ Routine and structure are essential
✔ His medical needs must be managed patiently
✔ No small children (due to size, strength, and excitability)
✔ A calm adult dog could be beneficial, but is not essential
Rowan is not a “plug and play” dog — but he is a dog with huge potential, a lovely temperament, and a deep desire to connect with people.
📍 We are seeking a long-term foster or foster-to-adopt home. All rescue support will be provided.
📌 A GoFundMe has been set up by Rowan’s current owner to help cover his veterinary care. If a suitable long-term foster or adoptive home is found, the funds raised will be made available to the rescue to support Rowan’s treatment and ongoing care.
