About Opportunity
Often people with disabilities or social needs are faced with the choice between seeking necessary health treatment and the welfare of their companion animal. Our charity and network of fosterers help by caring for their pets while they are unable to do so, thus allowing them to enjoy the rewarding and ongoing companionship of their pets. Our fosterers look after an animal in their home and include it in their day-to-day routine. Companion animals are especially important for people who, because of their circumstances are often isolated and lonely. PLEASE NOTE: Volunteers should download applications forms directly from website.
