Mutts in Distress use foster carers quite a bit. There's never enough room at the kennels, and some dogs don't cope well in kennels anyway. They also use foster homes to check dogs out before re-homing.

There are often dogs that have been brought over from Rumania and Spain, where conditions aren't good.

I like the foster-carer idea. As you say, they should have a good idea of how the dog reacts in a home environment.

Update: we have adopted a Romanian rescue dog, Elsa, (around 2 years old) who was in foster in South Wales. We managed to get her just before the lockdown so have had her 2 months now. She settled into our routines really quickly and we have had no issues with her at all. She really has filled a big gap in our lives and getting her just before the lockdown was perfect timing.
She really enjoys the company of other dogs and so we decided to adopt another dog, this time directly from Romania, who was described by his rescuer as the most chilled, laid back dog she’d come across. Well, we’ll soon see if that’s right as Scruffy’s being delivered to our house tomorrow morning, after a 4 day journey across Europe and around the U.K.
Exciting times!
