Help for fur family members

What about my pets?

We run a pet fostering service and can help to find somewhere safe for your pets to stay. Contact us if you think you may need to leave your home and go into a refuge, hostel or other temporary accommodation where you can’t take your pets with you.

Pets are placed with a volunteer foster carer who will look after them in their home until they can be returned to you. We can support a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, lizards, exotics, small animals, birds, and fish.

Our pet fostering worker will explain how the project works and arrange to complete an assessment of your animal (if needed). Once this is completed, they will look to secure a foster placement with one of our volunteers.

We work closely with the PDSA, Dogs Trust and Cats Protection to run our pet fostering project.

You can discuss pet fostering with our Helpline team on 0808 800 0340.
