About Opportunity

Foster carers make a huge difference to pets and owners who are in emergencies. They are responsible for meeting the daily needs of pets in their care, including feeding, cleaning, grooming and exercising until the pet is returned to its owner. Pet costs, such as food and veterinary fees are met by the owner.

About Pet Fostering Service Scotland
Pet Fostering Service Scotland (PFSS) provides short-term care for pets in volunteer foster homes. We aim to support pet owners who suffer from poor health, temporary homelessness or who are fleeing a domestic abuse home.
Our key aims are to reduce the stress to both pet and owner and to reunite them as soon as possible.
If pets are unable to be reunited with their owner PFSS collaborates with The Blue Cross to find those animals loving new homes.
