We provide short term care for pets when their owner is unable to do so through illness, homelessness or domestic abuse and cannot arrange any alternative care.

Thinking about fostering? Here's what really matters. 🐾

Fostering isn't just about loving animals. It's about having the time, space and circumstances to provide a suitable temporary home.

That means thinking about your daily routine, your home environment and the type of pet you could comfortably care for.

Every animal has different needs, and PFSS can talk you through what's involved before you decide whether fostering is right for you.

You don't have to know all the answers before getting in touch.

If you've been considering becoming a foster carer, we'd be happy to hear from you. 💙

Contact [email protected] to start the conversation.

Fireworks season can be stressful for our pets. 🎆

Loud bangs and unexpected flashes can leave some animals frightened, so a little preparation can help them feel more secure.

If your pet becomes very distressed around fireworks, speak to your vet for advice ahead of time.

A little preparation can help make fireworks season less frightening for our four legged family members.

Our volunteers give pets somewhere safe to stay while their owners work through what's happening.

It's a service made possible by people who care, whether that's our foster carers, supporters or everyone who helps spread the word.

If you are able to volunteer, or help in another way, please get in touch via [email protected]

Autumn pet tip: Watch out for fallen leaves and seasonal treats! 🍂

Autumn walks are lovely, but fallen leaves can hide things your dog might be tempted to sniff, chew or eat.

Keep an eye out for:
🍂 Conkers and acorns: These can be harmful if swallowed.
🍂 Mushrooms: Some wild varieties are poisonous, so discourage your dog from eating them.
🍂 Fallen fruit: Rotting fruit can cause stomach upsets and some can be dangerous.
🍂 Dark evenings: As the days get shorter, consider a reflective collar, lead or harness so your dog is easier to see.

A little extra attention on your walks can help keep your four legged friend safe as the seasons change. 💙

An unexpected hospital stay. A health problem that makes things difficult at home. Losing your accommodation. Leaving an unsafe situation. These things can happen quickly and leave very little time to work out what happens next.

For pet owners, there is often another question alongside everything else.

When you're already dealing with something difficult, trying to find somewhere safe for your pet can feel like another huge problem to solve.

PFSS provides temporary foster care for pets when their owners are unable to care for them.

It can mean one less thing for an owner to worry about while they deal with everything else.

Because knowing your pet is safe matters. 💙

Most of the pets PFSS fosters are dogs. 🐶

Around 75% of the pets we support are dogs, around 24% are cats and the remaining 1% are small furries and birds!

That means we're particularly reliant on foster carers who can accommodate dogs.
Having more suitable foster homes means we can say yes to more pet owners who need temporary support.

If you've got space in your home and time to give, we'd love to hear from you.

If you've ever thought about becoming a foster carer but wondered whether you'd be suitable, it's worth having a conversation with PFSS.

Our foster carers come from different backgrounds and have different homes, routines and experiences with animals.

What matters is being able to provide a suitable temporary home and being willing to care for a pet while their owner gets back on their feet.

PFSS supports foster carers throughout the process too. So if you've been thinking about it but aren't sure what's involved, ask us - [email protected]

Not everyone can foster, and that's okay!

There are plenty of other ways to help PFSS continue supporting pets and their owners across Scotland.

You could make a donation.

You could share our posts so more people hear about PFSS.

Or you could tell someone you know about our need for foster carers.

Every bit of support helps us reach more people and provide temporary care when it's needed.

If you'd like to donate £5, text 4025 to 70970.

And if you think you could foster a pet, we'd love to hear from you too - [email protected] 💙

You might expect to have somewhere to stay, only to discover that your pet can't come with you.

That's why having organisations like PFSS available matters.

We provide temporary foster care for pets when their owners suddenly find themselves unable to look after them because of illness, homelessness, domestic abuse or other difficult circumstances.

You don't always get time to make a plan.

But you can know where to turn for help. 💙
