Foster an animal
Every day we receive calls about animals in need who are on the foster to adoption journey.
Can you help an animal in need? Our IOW -based foster homes provide a safe and loving temporary home where the animal can decompress and receive the love and care that they deserve before they are then re-homed.
If you have:
- experience with dogs, rabbits and small animals
- work from home or are retired
- have a patient, caring nature and energy to help
- have kind children over 8 years of age
- a quiet home preferred – the animal will need to decompress in a peaceful environment
- Are based on the IOW
We’d love to hear from you…

Fostering with us
We carry out a home check for all fosterers to ensure every animal is placed in a safe and capable environment.
A foster placement usually lasts up to a month, and in some exceptional cases, up to two months. During this time, we’ll work closely with you, supporting both you and the animal.
Your role is to provide daily care and share feedback with us about the animal’s behaviour, needs, and progress. Together, we’ll help them grow in confidence and prepare for the happy day when they move on to their forever home.
At this time, we can only place animals with fosterers who live on the Isle of Wight. This helps us provide quick support, carry out home checks, and ensure foster animals can easily attend vet appointments when needed.
Making a difference
We love fosterers who enjoy welcoming different animals into their homes.
Each foster is unique, and every time you open your heart and home, you’re giving an animal the care and stability they need on their journey to a forever family. Whether you foster once or many times, your kindness makes a lasting difference.
What about costs?
Fostering should never leave you out of pocket.
For the duration of the placement, we cover all veterinary bills as well as food and other essentials for the animal.
If the foster pet needs to travel to the vet, mileage expenses will also be reimbursed.
