Short-term foster care
Some of the animals entering shelters need a little extra help before they are ready for adoption and their new forever homes. They may be too young, unwell, recovering from surgery, or may need training to improve their behaviour. Our foster care program helps these animals recover in a home environment until they’re ready to enter adoption.
In the past year, more than 900 animals were given a second chance, thanks to the support of our dedicated foster carers. This included a large number of puppies, kittens and juvenile rabbits and guinea pigs who were too young for adoption.
If you’re aged over 18 years and have a passion for animal care – you could be the next addition to our foster family! We will provide everything you need including lots of support from our Foster Care Officer.
 We
are desperately in need of short-term foster carers for our rabbits and guinea pigs. View
the information sheet and call us on 9224 2565 if you can help.

Permanent foster care for orphaned pets
We are currently searching for permanent foster carers to help provide orphaned pets with loving homes through our Bequest Animal Program. These animals are in the RSPCA's care because their owner's can no longer take care of them.
Foster carers are responsible for providing a safe and loving home for the animal, and attending to it’s daily needs such as feeding, grooming and exercise. All the things that a well loved pet needs! All veterinary fees for the pet and four weeks boarding each year are covered by the original owner through a bequest to the RSPCA.
Benefits of permanent foster care
- Subsidised veterinary treatment, including flea treatments and worming.
- Four weeks of free boarding annually.
- Half price grooming at RSPCA Burwood East.
- Support from dedicated RSPCA staff and volunteers, including telephone calls and annual visits.
Make a real difference to orphaned pets needing a loving home.
