Become a foster carer

Many people think it is too hard to be a foster carer as eventually you have to let your little rescue go to their new home. While it can be sad to say goodbye, foster caring is very rewarding. We could not survive without our network of foster carers and the more carers we have the more pets we can save. Each time you say goodbye to your foster pet, you can be proud of the work you have done to help transition them into their new home. Sometimes a safe and caring environment is all that is needed to transform these little beings.

What is involved?

We welcome every offer to foster care. Once we receive a request via the button below, we contact you to discuss your housing situation, lifestyle and other furry friends. We endeavour to match foster carers with our suitable rescue pets. We aim to give you a pet that you feel equipped to look after, eg appropriate exercise, training and quality time, etc. Subsequently, we will conduct a home check to ensure your place is secure - our team can spot potential escape points a mile away. Once approved, we will make arrangements with you to collect the pet.

What does SAS provide?

We provide initial vet checks, collar and tag, harness and leash, and bedding. SAS is fortunate to have SavourLife supply us with some food supplies which we share amongst our foster carers. We also provide any necessary medications, flea control and worming tablets. If any medical issues arise during foster care, please contact us and we can advise the next steps.

What do you need to provide?

You will be required to provide everyday meals, exercise, gentle training, a safe and secure home, as well as some much needed TLC for the pet.
