Ring has teamed up with the UK’s largest dog welfare charity Dogs Trust to deliver a Christmas treat to dogs across the UK who will be spending the festive season in a foster home. Last year, Dogs Trust’s Home from Home fostering scheme, which relies on volunteers to provide a temporary home, cared for 3,585 dogs.
This Christmas, over 1,600 dogs currently in Dogs Trust’s care are still in need of a forever home. To help bring foster carers and their pups some much needed festive cheer, home security company, Ring, has launched its new ‘ Christmas Treataway ’ service, exclusively for the foster carers in Dogs Trust’s Home from Home scheme.
The free package includes a dog-friendly three-course Christmas tasting dinner with guidance on how to safely introduce the food, a festive themed dog toy, and a Ring Indoor Camera to keep a close eye on four-legged guests when briefly out the house.
The free Ring Indoor Camera each foster carer receives will help them keep an eye on their dog when they’ve nipped out of the house.
Dave Ward, Managing Director EU & International at Ring said: “Christmas Treataways aren’t just about delivering festive goodies – it’s about bringing joy and security to foster dogs and their carers during a time when it matters most. At Ring, we believe every member of the family deserves to feel safe and cared for, and that includes our furry friends in need of homes this holiday season.”
Adam Clowes, Operations Director at Dogs Trust said: “Our foster carers are a very important part of Dogs Trust and the dog’s journey to their forever home, as they give us valuable insight into what dogs need most from their new family. We’re delighted Ring is giving our foster dogs an extra special treat this Christmas, and we hope it inspires more people to consider fostering.”
Dogs can be in foster homes for as little as a few days, to several weeks, where foster carers will provide them with lots of love and care, as they prepare them for a life in a forever home. Dogs Trust covers all the essential costs, and is always there to support foster carers with help and advice if they need it.
On Friday, December 13, Dogs Trust Home from Home foster carers in Basildon, Manchester, Cardiff, Kenilworth and Canterbury can order a free Christmas Treataway by visiting ring.com/treataways. In addition, Ring is donating some extra Christmas Treataways to Dogs Trust rehoming centres in Manchester, Cardiff and Kenilworth.
