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.

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

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? *

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. *
