Fostering with pet Care Network involves taking care of someone's pet in your own home for a week or two and to include them in your day to day routine. You may also be asked to collect and return pets to their owners after you have fostered them although alternative transport can be arranged if necessary. We are asked to care whilst owners are in hospital or respite care. The Volunteers and Fosterers from pet Care Network are ordinary people recruited on the basis of their love of animals.
Pet Care Network's aim is to provide help for people with disabilities and social needs by offering short term fostering and support with various aspects of pet care. Our network of volunteers can help give them the opportunity to enjoy a rewarding and ongoing relationship with their companion animals for as long as possible.
