Foster pets and animals with Woodgreen
Woodgreen’s community of fosterers are heroic humans who provide a temporary home for our pets while they wait for their perfect match. Why not join them?
Fostering explained
We’re always looking for volunteers who live within a 45 minute drive of our Godmanchester Centre, are aged over 18 years and have access to a vehicle to be able to travel to us.
As a fosterer, you’ll be responsible for feeding, exercising, cleaning, socialising, giving medication and grooming the pet or pets that are in your care.
Whether you’re an experienced pet owner or you’ve never had a furry friend in your life, Woodgreen will be available to offer you round-the-clock support.
Training and support
Even if you’ve never owned a pet, let alone fostered before, you’ll have the support of Woodgreen 24 hours support for your foster pet.
Our community of volunteer fosters are also a great source of knowledge and support!
Every pet is different, so we match fosterers with pets who can meet their particular needs.
A rewarding experience
It’s a great way to give pets some extra love and respite in your own home without the responsibility of owning a pet full time.
As a fosterer, you’ll be giving pets a helping hand towards a new home: their second chance at happiness.
Eligibility
To join our group of local volunteer fosterers, you need to:
- Be aged over 18
- Live within a 45 minute drive of our Godmanchester centre
- Have access to a vehicle and be able to travel to our Godmanchester Centre.
If you already have pets, or young children, placing a foster animal may be more difficult, but we review every application we get in the hope that a suitable pet can be found for your individual situation.
