Fostering: Frequently Asked Questions

Why consider fostering?

Offering an animal a foster home gives him or her a second chance. Many pets are abandoned, or for various reasons cannot stay at their current home. Without foster homes, there would be nowhere for them to go.

What about shelters?

There just aren't enough shelters in London, or any city, to house all the homeless pets that need our help. Plus, fostering allows animals to grow and learn in a normal, home environment with a family. There is no replacement for that interaction.

Can I choose which dog or cat to foster?

You let us know what size/shape of animal you think would fit best in your home, and we will let you know when one comes along!

What's in it for my family?

Fostering is a great way to enjoy the companionship of a pet while you are waiting for "just the right one" to come along. After opening your home up to a dog or cat in need, the greatest reward is seeing them find a forever family of their own and knowing you were a big part of that.
