At Animal Aid, we believe every animal deserves a second chance – and sometimes, all it takes is a couch to curl up on and a human to believe in them.
That’s where our foster carers come in.
Fostering isn’t just about offering a roof.
It’s about creating a safe space where an animal can catch their breath, learn to trust again, and feel what it’s like to be loved.
Whether it’s a tiny kitten needing time to grow, a dog recovering from surgery, or a shy soul overwhelmed by shelter life, foster homes help them find their paws.
Our shelter teams do incredible work, but there’s nothing quite like the magic that happens in a home.
The calm. The quiet. The one-on-one time.
Foster care allows animals to heal faster, show their true personalities, and be better prepared for adoption.
Right now, we need more of these special humans.
As the cost of living rises, more animals are finding their way to our doors, and our shelters are stretched.
If you’ve got a spare room, a quiet corner, or even just the heart for it, you could help an animal take their first step toward a better life.
We’ll sort the food, vet care and support, you just bring your love, your kindness, and the willingness to make a difference.
Because to that one animal, your home isn’t temporary, it’s the start of everything.
