Please note we are a volunteer not for profit organisation working fulltime in jobs not related to Paws and Recover. We have one person monitoring intake requests, so advise that you also need to continue to find help from other charitable organisations. Our volunteers respond to theses requests when they are available. Due to being at capacity we cannot accept homeless, or DV related cases as these require a longer term for foster care which we do not have the resources to help.

Please complete the attached form. This enables us to have the information we need to put up a post. We place animals into homes for foster care and do not operate out of any premises, so it may take us between a day or up to a week to find a suitable foster carer. We cannot guarantee finding a foster carer for your pets, so you do need to keep looking for other solutions for your pets care.

For any hospital or medical admissions, we now need verification proof of hospital admission, or an email from a medical professional stating that the owner is having treatment. We also need hospital / ward and bed number on the application if you are already in hospital.  For refuge applications, we need a social worker to verify that they are assisting the owner. Due to previous abuse of our services , this is now an entry requirement if we proceed to the foster stage. 

Due to not having premises and overwhelming demand, if you are experiencing homelessness or accommodation issues related domestic violence we are unable to help so we advise you seek other charitable agencies or solutions.. We are short term only and homelessness is usually a longer term situation, so we are we are very regretful we are  unable to assist in these circumstances as we do not have the resources

We will be the point of contact and assess foster offers for suitability. Please be honest in answers so we do not place barking dogs and/or not toilet trained dogs in apartment units. All cats will be fostered in an indoor only foster care so we do not lose your cat.  

We ask that you send a photo or two of each animal through to info@pawsandrecover.com  with the pets name in the subject line . We find we get a better response when photos are used. People will identify with a photo and share to others and also breed specific foster carers will apply. Please put animals name in subject line

For fostering, once a foster carer is found, you will sign a contract for the period of foster care and foster carer will also sign a contract stating the pet will be returned when we ask. Please note all contact is to Paws and Recover and owner and foster carers will not receive each others details, nor are able to visit pets.
