Pet Fostering Service Scotland

Who we are

Pet Fostering Service Scotland (PFSS) is aware of the importance of companion animals in people’s lives. Our core aims are to support pet owners who are in an emergency by providing compassionate care for their pets (who do not understand their apparent abandonment by their owner). We aim to limit stress and anxiety to both pet and owner.

What do we do?

PFSS provides a unique service, supporting pet owners who are in one of the following emergency situations:

• Ill health
• Temporary homelessness
• Domestic abuse

If a pet owner is in one of these situations and is unable to afford boarding fees or arrange any other care for their pet, then PFSS will try to help.  PFSS does not operate a boarding centre or kennels but relies solely on volunteers who welcome the pet into their own home.

Our volunteer foster carers have been approved through an assessment process and have had a home visit by our team.

Foster carers give a temporary home to a pet, taking responsibility for the care, feeding and exercise of the pet.  In short they give a pet a “home from home” and free the owner from worry at a difficult time.

We offer care for all types of pets, from cats and dogs to snakes and hamsters.
