Emergency/Temporary Cover

Evolution

This section covers the areas of Temporary, Emergency, Holiday and Week-End Cover.

We have a number of volunteers who  are not in a position to care full-time for an ADNI pup/dog in training.

However they are able to offer a place in their home for one of our pups/dogs on a temporary/overnight and at weekends. Sometimes, a dog may need to be placed for a longer period of time to cover illness and/or holidays.

Full support is given and all dog food and equipment is provided. All our dogs are insured and in the event of any vet care being necessary.
