Sponsor our Long-Term Foster Dogs
Would you like to help support our ‘Long-Term Foster’ dogs? By choosing to become a sponsor today, you are giving vulnerable dogs a second chance at life, whatever their age, health condition or medical needs. Your sponsorship will go towards ensuring our lovely Long-Term Foster dogs have the best level of care and support throughout their lives.
Our Long-Term Foster Scheme provides lifelong care for dogs who often don’t get much chance of adoption due to their age, or health and the related ongoing costs. When the charity takes a dog into this scheme, we guarantee that the dog is supported for the rest of its life by covering vet bills and medicines, as well as being on hand for advice and support when needed to ensure that every dog gets its happy ever after in their forever foster home.
For just £5 per month you could become a sponsor today, or sign up for one year’s sponsorship for a one-off payment of £50. Simply download the Sponsorship Form below to get started, and return via email to aireworthdogsinneed@gmail.com
What is included in your sponsorship?
At Aireworth Dogs in Need you don’t sponsor an individual dog, instead you sponsor the whole group of lovely Long-Term Foster dogs. That means there’s a lot of dogs for you to get to know!
You’ll receive a Welcome Pack with your very own Sponsorship Certificate, Keyring & Bookmark. Throughout the year you’ll get three further updates about our charity and the lovely Long Term Foster dogs you’re helping. In each update you’ll get to know more of the dogs, and see how your support is making a difference to their lives.
Sponsorship FAQ’s
Where do the foster dogs live?
Our Long Term Foster dogs all live with people who have opened up their homes and hearts to dogs who are older, or have complex care needs. ADIN covers the cost of their long-term care, such as vet bills for any illnesses, operations or ongoing medications. We also provide access to any other care the LTF dogs may need, such as physio, hydrotherapy or behavioural support.
As they are all in homes it is not possible to visit our LTF dogs. In fact we do not have a centre to visit at all, we are a completely foster based charity.
Where does my sponsorship go?
Your sponsorship contribution will be used to care for our Long Term Foster Dogs and all other dogs within ADIN’s care.
The money is used to cover the costs of vet bills, equipment, special diets, training and behavioural support and more. Ultimately, your donation goes to helping us ensure each dog receives the best possible care.

Meet our Long-Term Foster Dogs
Alfie
Hi from little me -my name is Alfie and I am 15 years young . I used to live with my Dad but he died and then his son carried on looking after me for a couple of years.Sadly though he needs to be away a lot so I have come to live with a foster mum at ADIN. I would really like my to have my forever home. I am virtually blind but manage really well once I learn the layout of your home and garden. I do not like other dogs or babies/toddlers if they come close and may bark and nip if I could, but I am not very large so can be easily distracted or kept away. I do like to be with my humans and potter in the garden and be in the car with them…have you a sofa I could share please?
Bailey
Hi from little Bailey – I am so happy to have my very own forever foster dad. He makes sure that I get well looked after and I have trained him well, so he knows just what I like and don’t like. I did hear someone say I was rather a tricky little pooch to re home -but me and my chappie -well we get on just fine -its great to have my forever home.
Bear
Hiya my name is Bear and I have had a very sad time recently, when my beloved owner died very suddenly and unexpectedly at home. Me and my sister Bella came to live with a relative until they could find us a new home. Sadly though my life long pal was also very poorly and she was helped over Rainbow Bridge to be reunited with our owner-so now its just me. Now I am adjusting to life with a new foster mum and with love and patience I am settling down to my new life. I am 15 years old and now need some medication to help me, so your sponsorship really does make a difference. Thank you so much
Buster
Hiya my name is Buster and I joined the long term foster dogs group recently as sadly no one suitable came forward to adopt me when I came in to the Adin family. Though actually thats great for me as my lovely foster family now get to keep me forever with a little help and support from the Aireworth team. I can be a rather prickly character when it comes to being near other dogs but I love playing at home and my special trips to a secure field where I can run about without the worry of other pooches–win win!
Pupdate June 25 -I do have a very sensitive tum and need special food to keep thing steady -your sponsorship helps to fund this too…thanks so much
Butch
Hiya my name is Butch and I joined Aireworth long term foster dogs in Nov 2021 and I am the baby of the group at only 8 years young. They say I am rather a special boy as I have recovered really well after having a permanent tracheostomy preformed, though I do have other health issues too which my lovely foster mum and dad and the ADIN team are on the case with. I think I am rather special even if I am proving very expensive—if could you help out by sponsoring me that would be Ace…ta muchly from the Butch.
Update -I am now having a special injection regularly to help my pain thanks to ADIN, so I can get up to all sorts of mischief now-look out for me in our 2023 calendar…
October 23—Oh dear back to the vets again as I am now having a lot of problems with my funny little tail which means I need yet another operation !! I really appreciate those kind people who are sponsoring me as it is going to be a tricky and expensive time….
January 24 ..me again-tail..what tail?..someone at the vets stole it and I have had all sorts of bother since then, I think I may have to complain…..
December 24-hi again just in case you were wondering I am doing sort of okay me and mum keep checking out at the vets as the painkillers for my pesky joints needed adjusting -so I am now trying yet some more medication
Harry
Hi from me – Harry. Very pleased to be one of Aireworth’s long term foster pooches. I am one special little fella -I enjoy a comfy sofa and good food and my walks, though I do have some issues and I need to do things in my time and at my level or I can be a bit snappy. I needed a very patient and committed foster Dad -thank goodness the team found me one and helped with some advice to manage my little quirks and foibles. Thank you so much guys
Luna
I joined ADIN in March 2024 I may be a senior lady but I love life . My foster mum loves the larger ladies like myself and guess what she has fallen for my charm and cuddleability!! It is such a relief to know I can stay with her for the rest of my life and enjoy our trips to the secure field which I love. I dont need to worry any more.
Pupdate June 25-I have just had to have an operation on my nose and now need medication too so thanks so much to those who sponsor us oldies -we really appreciate it
Molly and Milly
We joined the ADIN family in March 2023 and we are bonded sisters 12 years young. We lived with our lovely dad since we were 7 weeks old, however he sadly passed away a few weeks ago and we have been hoping to find another loving home with a new foster family. We are both on long term medication so its a huge relief to know we will be looked after for the rest of our lives.
January 24 well we are certainly getting to know lots of lovely people while we test out some of the fosterers ! What we really need is that special someone who can deal with our little accidents and let us out regularly for toileting and who wont mind if we have accidents inside sometimes…anyone? -we promise to be on our best super cutest behaviour…
Pupdate february 24-yeah we have a new foster mum- she is our forever mum.
Pupdate July 24-we both have further health problems and now on extra medication, but we still love our walks and we have our foster mum fully trained now to ensure we get all we want!!
Pupdate June 2025- well we are doing okay but are now on lots of medication -this “manypaws” is not kind to us old ladies you know!! -thanks to all you sponsors for ensuring we can get all we need
Olly and Cleo
We joined the ADIN family in June 24 and we are bonded siblings just 13 years young. Brother Olly has a suspected auto immune condition and needed massive dental work when he arrived and his sister Cleo is blind and also needs major dental operations -she has had her first one and awaiting her second next month. They had a super temporary foster mum who sadly due to her own health problems was unable to keep these 2 cuddle bugs, but they have now moved to a lovely experienced couple where they have settled in beautifully.
Hooch
Hi from me… the Hooch -I am a really super friendly young chap who loves my humans . I have lived with my foster family and have been waiting patiently to be adopted for ages now. Sadly I have several health issues which the vets and Adin are trying to help my foster family sort out and this makes me an expensive Dude! As my foster family have fallen in love with me and no adopters seem to want to take me on-I have now joined the long term foster family. If you can sponsor me that would be just fine and dandy -many thanks
Update Nov 23 I now need special hypo allergenic food which is super expensive but luckily thanks to you lovely supporters we are able to get this provided by my Adin friends….Fanks guys!!
Pupdate feb 2024–Oopsie-I was just helping out with some leftover Chinese -from the bin! Who knew I wasn’t allowed to eat it and the skewers…! an operation and over £3000 later -you will be pleased to hear I am doing ok
River
Hi from -I am a lovey old lad, my owner sadly passed away but luckily the great Aireworth team have taken me in and found me a fabulous new forever home . I was very sad at first but I get lots of love and cuddles and I know life will be just fine now I am safe. I do have a few health problems and am on regular heart medication If you can sponsor me that would be just fab -many thanks.
Shiba
Hi from me Shiba I am a huge fluffy lady who needed a very special home -as I am a real outdoor girl !! I was lucky enough to get handed over to the ADIN team who worked very hard to get me just right the home I needed. I have lots of attention and cuddles and I can spend lots of time watching the world go by -thanks everyone for supporting my care in my forever home
Stan
Hi from me Stan the man -I am a really friendly staffie -I was lucky enough to go and live with my foster mum since I arrived in June 2024. I have lots of fun and cuddles. Boy what a relief ….as at 13 years young I didn’t know if anyone would want me -thanks everyone.
pupdate -my old bones were giving me some pain so my foster mum took me to the vets and I am now on some painkillers which do help my old joints-thankyou for sponsoring my treatment
Tegan
I am Tegan and I used to be a guard dog for a family. I was always kept outside and did not really have any good times like some doggies do. I did have a lovely dog walker who took me for a walk each week for the last couple of years and he persuaded my owners to ask the Aireworth team if they could take over my care as I am now virtually blind. They jumped to my rescue and now I live in a home with a smashing lady-its lovely and warm and comfy here…luvverly jubbly. I need to see the vet soon -so If you can help sponsor me that would really help out with the costs of my care – thanks ever so much.
Update- Though my foster mum is just fab and really loves me-I cannot manage her steep steps-so I really really need a new long term foster home where I can get into the garden without having to negotiate lots of steps-I cannot see them and as I am a big girl and I cant see its very difficult for me
Pupdate- Hi everyone -well its good news then bad news-I have found my forever home with a fantastic couple who just love me to bits and I still get to see and go out with my lovely dog walker -who helped me get the loving home I so needed. Sadly though I have been found to have a nasty tumour so I wont have long to enjoy this fabulous new life, but at least I will get whatever care I need and spend my last few months inside a lovely home with toys and treats,comfort and company -so not all bad. If you are one of Aireworth’s long term sponsors thank you so much
Mr T
Hi from me Mr T I was rescued along with my house mate and now we live in a lovely home with a lovely foster lady-warm, cosy and safe.
If you are one of Aireworth’s long term sponsors thank you so much for helping them to keep us all safe.
