Fraser Coast Pet Warriors are always in desperate need of loving foster carers to help save the regions stray, unwanted & abandoned pet population

 “Until not one healthy & sociable companion animal’s life is lost within our reach we will always be in need of more Carers”

 Can you open your heart & home to save an innocent animal in need?  

 

“A kind & compassionate act is usually it’s own reward” 

 

We rely on the dedication & passion of our appreciated foster carers.

Without our foster carers, Fraser Coast Pet Warriors would not be making the difference to local companion animals that it is today.

Being a volunteer organisation, we ask that foster carers are prepared to feed their foster animals at their own expense. Donations will be administered when available and all veterinary bills are booked and paid for by Fraser Coast Pet Warriors.

Flea and worm medication can be made available, but your assistance will be very much appreciated.

Foster Carers provide a second chance at life for animals that may otherwise have been euthanised with no where else to go.

Foster carers love & care for our animals temporarily in the comfort & convenience of their own homes to ensure they are given the best chance at find a loving forever home.

  If you are interested in becoming an animal foster carer, below is some information and guidelines to ensure our foster animals stay safe, happy & healthy.

 Important Information

A foster period can last anywhere from a few days to months, depending on the needs and adoption time frame of the animal. Arrangements can be made to transfer a foster if the animal does not function well within the foster household, however, we do ask that before fostering you consider the understanding, commitment & sometimes sacrifice involved with fostering these beautiful animals, some of which may have been abused & neglected in the past.

All Veterinarian consultations, medication and vaccination costs are covered by Fraser Coast Pet Warriors and organised by the Fraser Coast Pet Warriors Foster Coordinator.

A foster carer representative will be required to visit the foster care applicants property to ensure it is suitable for fostering animals, fencing is required to meet Fraser Coast Council rules and regulations.

Foster Carer Criteria

Fostering animals is not always an easy job but it is most certainly a rewarding one.

Foster caring is best suited for people who work part time or from home, are stay at home parents or are retired but still active.

Foster carers must have a passion for animal welfare & be familiar with responsible pet ownership practices.

Foster Carer Responsibilities

Foster Carers are required to:

• Provide a sufficient good quality diet (FCPW will assist where possible)

• Administer flea/worming treatments (FCPW will provide where possible)

• Spend quality interactive time with the animal

• Ensure their environment is clean & hygienic

• Ensure they are contained in a safe, secure area at all times

• To report any concerns, issues and observations to the Fraser Coast Pet Warriors foster coordinator immediately

•  Return all foster animals to the Fraser Coast Pet Warriors when required

• To transport foster pets to their veterinary appointments (FCPW can assist if required)

Remember! Fraser Coast Pet Warriors are here to help you! If you need help or have any questions/concerns - JUST ASK

 Thank you for your compassion & support.

Volunteer Drivers and Fund Raisers also required

If you can’t foster an animal but would still like to assist Pet Warriors we always need assistance with transporting pets and with organising fund raising activities to help cover ongoing costs of running the organisation. So if you can spare a few hours to drive our animals to their vet appointments or to assist with fund raising, please do contact us if you can assist with these very important activities.
