Large Munsterlander Rescue can never tell how many dogs per year, or when dogs are likely to come in for rehoming. When you first contact Rescue, it may be possible to do a homecheck and a suitable dog may already be known to need a new home. On the other hand, your details may be taken and held until a suitable dog becomes available.
Fostering
Sometimes an old dog, or a dog with health issues, comes into care and it is then that the dog will be offered for "fostering", with Rescue taking all responsibility for its veterinary bills in connection with its problem.
Dogs come into Rescue for a huge variety of reasons. Sometimes, we know the dog's complete background and take a full history from the current owner, so that we know what home will best suit the dog. Occasionally, a dog will come in with no history whatsoever, and that dog has to be assessed to see whether it gets on with children, other dogs/bitches, cats and livestock, and whether it has any problems.
We aim never to turn away a Munsterlander who is in need of rehoming, and will find a loving home where the dog can remain for the rest of its life.
What we expect from our new owners
All of our new homes are homechecked by us and have a secured garden area. We would never allow one of our rescues to go to anyone who works full time. We like to have an update on their progress, so will contact you from time to time. For the first three weeks in their new home, dogs must be kept on a lead. An identity disc must be worn giving the dog's name and contact telephone number.

With transport
Quite often, dogs need transporting from one place to another. LMR would like to hear from volunteers interested in donating their services as a doggie taxi within your local area.
Home Checks
Responsible and knowledgeable people could help with vetting prospective homes in all parts of the country.
