What Is Foster Caring?

Foster carers provide a temporary home for AWL NSW animals while they are waiting for their forever home. It is an opportunity to have a furry companion without a lifetime commitment!

How Does It Work?

Simply fill out our Foster Signup form (below) and we’ll give you a call to discuss a few things. Then we’ll do our best to match you with a suitable animal(s) in need of a temporary, loving home.

Almost Anyone Can Foster! To Be Eligible You Will Need To:

  • Be 18+, ready to foster now and have your own car and drivers licence
  • Live within a 70 minute drive from our Kemps Creek Shelter or one of our branches
  • (Cat/kitten carers only) Supply bowls, litter tray, toys, bedding and have a spare room
  • Be willing to foster a cat, litter of kittens or medium-large dog (e.g. 20kg+ staffy’s, kelpie x etc)

What About Vet Costs?

AWL NSW covers vet costs (only at our approved vets) and we supply flea and worming treatment. For Kemps Creek (Sydney shelter) foster carers, all vet care is performed at our on-site vet clinic. For branch foster carers, vet care is done at approved vet clinics with prior approval.

What Support Do Foster Carers Get?

Foster carers are assigned a dedicated AWL NSW representative who can be contacted with any questions you may have. Have more questions? Check out our Foster Caring FAQ’s here.
