The foster care team at Hunter RSPCA NSW are always on the search for loving people to join their team of foster carers.
Did you know many of our shelter animals spend a considerable amount of time in foster care prior to adoption? Whether they're awaiting medical procedures, such as desexing or dentals, undergoing behaviour support, or just need a break from the shelter, foster care allows these animals to experience some much needed time in a home environment. The time in foster also allows us to gather more information on their personality and future home requirements. Plus, the joy and positive experience is often shared by the foster carers too!
Foster care gives people the opportunity to welcome a furry friend into their home, even if it's just for a little while. The wonderful foster team at the shelter provides everything you will need to care for the animal, including food, bedding, toys, bowls, medication if needed, and anything else that may be required.
The types of animals we are often needing care for are adult dogs, puppies, adult cats, kittens (especially now we're coming into the warmer months!) and pocket pets (such as rabbits and guinea pigs).
