Foster Care

We are always in need of foster carers to look after our pound rescue animals. Foster carers take animals into their own homes and provide them with a loving family environment until a permanent home can be found. Some rescues can take weeks or months to rehome so a serious committment is required. However, we will endeavour to place animals in your care that will fit in with your lifestyle. We always have dogs and puppies in a range of ages and sizes that need care.

We will need to inspect your property to assess your suitability to foster care and as we are located in Western Sydney we are not in a position to have carers that live more than 90mins away from Sydney. Carers must be over 18years old.

We mostly have dogs in foster care but around cat breeding season there will sometimes arise the need for cat carers and if you think you have the resources to care for a horse then please let us know also.

If you are interested in becoming a carer for any of our animals please submit the below form after reading our Terms & Conditions.
