I would love to do this ❤️

West Midlands Police is calling on animal lovers across the region to open their homes to the force's future four legged recruits.

The force's Dog Unit runs a long standing puppy development programme, based at its training centre in Balsall Common, which relies almost entirely on volunteer fosterers. Puppies, typically German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and working spaniels, are placed with foster carers from around six to eight weeks old and stay with them until roughly twelve months old.

During that time, fosterers are responsible for the vital groundwork that shapes a working police dog. That means regular socialisation trips to parks, shops and public transport, exposure to different sounds, people and environments, and attending structured training sessions at the centre alongside the wider Dog Unit team.

It is not a small ask. Fosterers need a secure, well fenced garden, a suitable vehicle to transport a growing dog, and the time to make sure a puppy is never left alone for more than a few hours at a stretch. In return, the force covers food, equipment and veterinary care, and volunteers get a front row seat watching a puppy grow into a dog that could one day be finding missing people, tracking suspects or detecting drugs and weapons on our streets.

Every operational police dog in the West Midlands starts life in someone's front room before it ever wears a harness. Without fosterers willing to put in the early hours, there is no pipeline of dogs for the frontline.

If you have ever fancied raising a future police dog, or you know someone who has the time, patience and garden fence for the job, this could be your way in. Anyone interested should get in touch with West Midlands Police's Dog Unit for details on how to apply.
