Foster Carer Application

Howdy legend, we are so lucky to have you here applying to be a foster carer!

We are a foster based rescue, meaning we don't have a shelter or a space. We simply rescue animals facing euthanasia from pounds and place them directly with foster carers. On average, foster animals are in care for 2-3 months before they're adopted, but this can vary.

The steps to becoming a foster carer are:
1. Submit a fully completed application form
2. Be over 18 years of age
3. Provide a safe and secure environment within your home.
4. Ensure all your animals are up to date on vaccinations and desexed.
5. Be able to isolate the animal if required from other animals.
6. Communicate via Facebook with updates to your case manager.

What kind of animals would you like to foster? (Cats/Kittens/Dogs/Puppies). Please note puppies under 6 months are only placed in foster homes that already have a resident dog to prevent singleton puppy syndrome. Kittens are also not placed solo homes but can be placed with another kitten. *

If you want to foster dogs, how often will you be able to walk them? *

Where will the foster animal sleep? *

If applying to foster dogs, please describe your back yard - if fenced, how high, size, etc. - if applying to foster cats please write N/A *

Please attach some pictures of your yard if you are fostering dogs, or some pictures of the space the cat will be living. *

If you have current pets, please give us a little bit of information about them; age, breed, activity level, if your animal/s have any medical conditions we should be aware of, etc. *

If you have current pets, are they desexed, vaccinated and up to date on flea & worming treatment? If you have a cat, is your cat allowed outdoors, if so how do they access this? *

Have you fostered animals before? If so, with who, and why are you applying with us now? *

How would you describe your experience level with animals? *

Do you have any upcoming holidays affecting your ability to foster? *

Tell us about your house, do you have permission from your landlord or property manager to have animals or do you own? *

Do you need supplies provided for you to care for the animal? We strive to make fostering accessible and will provide all the essentials for caring for your foster. However as a not for profit we rely on donations to care for these animals so any time a foster carer can also provide for the animal it is incredibly appreciated, but never expected. *

Please attach a photo of your ID, eg. License or Passport *
