Paws and Recover does not have physical premises, but instead entirely relies on a network of volunteers which include our dedicated Foster Carers.

 

Here's what you need to know:

• We accept all companion animals which are most commonly dogs and cats, but do get birds, ferrets, reptiles etc.​

• Fostering means that you take an animal into your home for care until the owners crisis has resolved and they can take their beloved pet home. We aim for short-term care but, by the very nature of crisis, sometimes flexibility is required.

• Our ethos is that you will treat that animal like your own - love, safety, patience and attention.

• When an animal is needing care, we discuss the case with the potential foster carer (including estimated care time required) and see how it feels for everyone.​

• When worries come up, you can speak to your allocated foster co-ordinator. Vet bills are not your responsibility.

​

The animals that come in to Paws and Recover are unique as they could have come from a situation that was terrifying or worrying for the animal. Our foster carers are extra special people as they sometimes need to be patient, gentle and intuitive.
