Foster a fur baby

The 11th day of Christmas

The RSPCA has as tagline – a dog is for life, not just for Christmas – aimed at reducing the number of pets dumped at shelters in the new year. However, it is now seeking people who do want a pet just for Christmas. The festive season is a dif cult time for the RSPCA, as many regular foster carers go away. It needs temporary carers who can provide a home to an animal and maybe a juicy bone on Christmas morning. Find out more at rspca.org.au

Guide Dogs Australia needs carers to raise potential Guide Dogs from the age of eight weeks until they’re ready to start training at Guide Dogs HQ at about 14 months old. Potential guardians will receive ongoing support and training. Visit guidedogsaustralia.com.au
