We offer care for all types of pets, from cats & dogs to snakes & hamsters.
A fosterer:
Pet Fostering:
We ask potential fosterers, who must be over 18, to complete a comprehensive application form, which asks for the name and address of a referee that has known the applicant for over 3 years and who is not a family member. We may ask for a reference.
We also carry out a ‘virtual’ home visit combined with an interview.
PFSS requires that the applicant signs a declaration relating to any record of ‘criminal behaviour against animals’ & confirmation that the PFSS regulations including confidentiality (that no social media regarding fostering is allowed) and pet care will be met.
PFSS is a registered charity which provides a unique service, supporting pet owners who are in one of the following emergency situations: - Ill health - Temporary homelessness - Domestic abuse If a pet owner is in one of these situations and is unable to afford boarding fees or arrange any other care for their pet, then PFSS will try to help. PFSS does not operate a boarding centre or kennels but relies solely on volunteers who welcome the pet into their own home. Our fosterers have been approved through an assessment process and had a home visit by our team.
