As we do not have a kenneling facility we rely on our dog fosterers who take dogs into their own homes. We desperately need dog fosterers in the South East London and North West Kent areas to help us cope with the huge amount of dogs we are asked to take in. To be a fosterer you must:Do you have experience with dogs? Do you have daily access to a garden? Do you have time to dedicate to a dog, cat or rabbit - we ask that fosterers do not leave the dogs for long periods every day
This is a new role and we will assist the co-ordinator in recruiting fundraisers. You would also be responsible for:
We are looking for people who would be able to collect our animals and take them to our foster homes. In addition to this there may be occasions when our fosterers need assistance taking our animals to the vets etc. All expenses incurred in this role will be reimbursed by the charity.
Check suitablility of future forever homes. Do you know what is needed for a suitable home for an animal? Are you able to travel locally to visit potential forever homes for our animals?
Single gift or donation – We are always happy for any donation big or small. Please send any donations to Animal Samaritans, PO Box 154, Bexleyheath, Kent DA16 2WS. Please make cheques or postal orders out to 'Animal Samaritans'.
Some of the animals who come into us are not able to be rehomed for a variety of reasons; therefore we seek to provide permanent homes for them. As an animal sponsor you will be helping to cover the costs of caring for one of those beautiful creatures for the rest of their lives.
