Fostering an animal from NCAR
WHY NOT FOSTER A DOG, CAT OR RABBIT?
The Foster Scheme was set up to find loving homes for the dogs and cats in our care with 'special needs'. Often these animals have been with us for a very long time and may have been passed by as they are old, less attractive or need medical attention. Despite their disabilities, they can make excellent companions and deserve a loving home. We are always looking for people who would consider taking on one of these special animals. As a Foster Volunteer you will be providing a rescue animal a well deserved break from the kennels and the opportunity to live as a pet in your home. These homes can be permanent or temporary depending on the position of the foster volunteer. Through this experience we will be in a better position to rehome the animal permanently as we learn how it behaves in a more natural environment.
Fostering helps to get our animals into a less stressful environment, and it also frees up space at the Rescue for other animals in need. It is a very rewarding role but requires a high level of time, emotional commitment and patience. If you feel you can give that extra special home to one of our more needy residents then we would be pleased to hear from you.
Animals who need a foster home
Cindy - Foster Me
Cindy is a quiet and lovebale Border collie. She comes across as a very calm and placid dog and so she would suit a quiet home. She does come across as a little shy at first but with a little bit of time and tlc she soon gains trust and grows in confidence. Cindy does have some health problems and does have occasional fits. She will need a home where she can be frequently checked and be given any medication she needs. She is a happy dog who enjoys meandering around the garden. She socialises well with other dogs and could live with a quiet calm dog. It is estimated that Cindy is aged between four and six.

Bruno-Harvey Foster Me
Harvey- Bruno is a middle aged choclate brown staffie who came to the rescue as a stray. Harvey - Bruno was very underweight on arrival and was taken straight to the vets for a check up. Harvey - Bruno is looking for a special home as he is blind. He does not let this bother him and can get around but would need to be monitored to ensure he can find his water bowl ok. He gets on ok with other dogs but does not like cats. Harvey needs his weight steadily built up and would need a home with lots of TLC.

Special Appeals
Dizzy has found a foster home and is doing so well!!
His name is Dizzy Cooper and he is only about 10mths old. He cam in as a stray and has been very unsettled whilst in his kennel. He is looking for a loving home, where there is someone at home, as he doesn't like being left. We do think he has had much human interaction so we need someone who can give him the TLC that he deserves. He really needs a home where ther isn't any other animals - so all the attention is on him. Please let us know if you can care for Dizzy Copper, even if it's only a for a week, this will really help this little boy.
Please get in touch if you can help.
Thank you
