Helping dog owners find freedom from domestic abuse
An update on some changes to our Freedom Project
We’re updating how our service looks and how we talk about it. You’ll start to see some changes come into effect on this website in the New Year and we want to reassure you that the service we offer and the ways you usually contact your local Freedom team will stay the same. Find out more about the changes you’ll see here.
We're here for you and your dog when you need us
As many refuges aren’t able to accept pets, we understand that you might feel unable to leave your home until you know your dog is somewhere safe too. We place your dog with a loving foster carer for an average of 6-9 months, so you can access a refuge or emergency housing, knowing your dog will be cared for until you're ready to have them back with you.
Help a dog, help a whole family
Our amazing foster carers are a key part of the Freedom team, and our service wouldn't be possible without people like you. If you have experience caring for dogs, are at home most of the day and can commit to fostering for up to six months, we'd love to hear from you.
Domestic abuse support services
If you work for a support service such as a domestic abuse organisation or the police, Freedom can help you ensure a family's pets will be safe too. Support workers can refer people directly to Freedom, and we'll be on hand to answer any questions you or they might have.
