Fostering

What does it mean to foster a dog?

Fostering a dog is one of the most rewarding ways to make a difference in an animal’s life. As a foster family, you open your heart and home to a homeless dog, offering love, care, and attention until they find their forever family. It’s more than just a temporary arrangement—it’s a chance to change a life.

Becoming a foster is easy and life-changing! To register your interest and begin your fostering journey, simply email [email protected].

Together, we can ensure every dog feels loved, supported, and ready for their next chapter.

Why Foster?

When you foster, you play a crucial role in the well-being of a dog in need. Here’s why fostering is so important:

Puppies in Need of a Safe Start

Young pups, too small for adoption, need a loving environment to develop essential social skills and grow until they’re ready for their forever homes.

Dogs recovering from surgery, illness, or injury need a quiet and caring environment to regain their strength and thrive.

Some dogs find shelter life overwhelming, showing signs of stress like pacing or hiding. Fostering provides them with the comfort and stability they need.

Dogs who’ve never experienced home life or human affection require gentle socialisation to help them flourish and trust again.

While our Woodrock team works tirelessly to care for over 300 animals, it’s challenging to give each one the individual love and attention they deserve. Your fostering support ensures these animals get the care they need to shine.
