BECOME A FOSTER

OPEN YOUR HOME, SAVE A LIFE

Our foster homes across Hawke's Bay are the backbone of the rescue. Without them, we couldn't rescue nearly as many animals as we do.
Some foster animals are fearful, anxious or reactive, and finding their forever home can take months. We need people ready to stick with them.

HOW FOSTERING WORKS

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Basic training, exercise and play

​

  • Meet potential adopters

​

  • Send us updates on how they're getting on

​

  • Get them to vet appointments when needed

​

WHAT WE'LL PROVIDE

  • All their food

​

  • Bedding, bowls, toys and a crate or cage

​

  • Vet care

​

  • Help and support whenever you need it​

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

DOGS AND PUPPIES

  • A fully fenced property

​

  • Time to care for and train them

​

  • Any pets of your own fully vaccinated and friendly

​

  • They live and sleep indoors

​

  • Lots of human company

​

  • Puppies are a big job: house training, several feeds a day, crate training and the odd chewed shoe.

​

CATS AND KITTENS

  • Time to care for them

​

  • Any pets of your own fully vaccinated and friendly

​

  • They live and sleep indoors

​

  • Lots of human company

​

  • A warm, cosy spot, which is a must for kittens
