Where can you borrow/rent/look after a dog for a few weeks to trail run ?
We would love a dog but would like to try first just to make sure,.
Can this be done ? Does anyone want to lend us a dog ?
Try rehoming charities, greyhound shelters and the like. If nothing else you could try comitting to going there and walking one (or several) for an hour twice a day.
Or find a friend who's off abroad and save them the kennel fees.
IME dog's don't like change, so short term fostering would actualy be quite stressfull for it.
The one by us, as well as needing volunteer walkers, also needs foster homes to house dogs for a few weeks - that would be the sort of thing you're after, I should think, but not sure if they see it so much as a "Try A Dog" scheme. 🙂
I can lend you a cat if that helps?

If you are near south of Bristol you are welcome to come take my dog for a regular run on all the great footpaths and bridleways round here. But only on the condition you give her a bath afterwards!
I've getting a bit fed up of sticking her in the shower after every walk at the moment and can't cycle as my arm is bashed up after a car crash.
