Foster Role Details

There are two key elements to this role. The first involves being responsible for meeting the daily needs of dogs in your care, including feeding, cleaning, grooming, exercising and socialising until the dog is rehomed. The second involves working with the committee with regard to the admission and subsequent rehoming of dogs.

Time Commitment

The nature of this volunteer role requires an ongoing commitment that will vary over time, making it difficult to predict how much time you will need to commit. You will need to be available at times appropriate to meeting the dog’s needs as you will have ongoing responsibility for any dogs in your care. The amount of time a dog can be left alone will vary.

Essential Requirements

  • Minimum age 18 years
  • If living in shared or rented accommodation, relevant permissions need to be obtained
  • Suitable home or garden accommodation
  • Experience of caring for a dog
  • Use of a suitable vehicle to transport a foster dog or cat safely
  • Able to work as part of a team and be a good communicator

Typical Tasks Include:

  • Provide daily care for foster dogs e.g. feeding, cleaning accommodation, grooming, socialising, training and exercising
  • Liaise with the committee on admission and rehoming of dog(s) in your care
  • Maintain written records about the dogs in your care, including behaviour, health, dietary and other information, using them to report to the named committee member
  • Organise trips to the veterinary surgery, as required
  • Undertake training provided, as required
  • Accurate completion of expense forms to enable out-of-pocket expenses to be paid

Benefits:

  • A chance to make a difference to animal welfare in your local area by community involvement, helping us to rehome more dogs
  • An opportunity to use existing skills and develop new skills
  • Training and ongoing support and supervision
  • Gain direct experience of volunteering in a charity environment and become part of a team committed to the welfare of companion animals
  • A chance to meet and volunteer as a team member of likeminded people
