Just knowing that there were children in need of a home and stability was the reason Sandra and her husband Rick became foster carers more than ten years ago.

Could you foster a child on a weekend? Short breaks foster care is caring for a child for just a short period of time, like a weekend. It used to be called respite care and provides breaks for long-term foster carers. Short breaks care suits many families who can’t commit to full-time care. Many new carers also start out providing short breaks and then choose to become full-time foster carers after gaining some experience.

Melissa and Scott had five kids of their own when they decided to become foster carers. While a little nervous at first, fostering soon became second nature to the whole family, and after 16 years Melissa and Scott have seen just how nurturing their own children have been towards the foster children.

New Foster carer needed, urgently, so we’re looking for a ‘Foster to Adopt’ situation. Hi, I’m Sully, a big lad at around 40 kg & 5yrs old, a hunk of muscle and love. My journey in rescue has been a rather long one, as I had to overcome a leg injury, still requiring 2 x 5-10 min daily Physio exercises plus a couple of very short, gentle walks - this means I’m actually pretty low fuss! So if you like sleep-ins, I’m your guy! I do walk well on a lead, with a head-halti. I’m a quick learner and lov

Some parents are interested in foster caring and wonder how their own children will find the experience. 🤔 Many foster carers have children of their own and say it teaches them to be more accepting and nurturing of others, and to have a greater sense of community. Fostering doesn’t have to be a full-time commitment – carers often start out caring for short breaks such as on a weekend or during school holidays. ⚖️ We need more foster carers, like you.

Karyn and Ron know fostering needs special people with extraordinary hearts. “The first question they asked us was, why do you want to do this, why do you want to become a foster carer?” “Every child deserves a chance. A chance at education, a roof over their head, clothes on their back, shoes on their feet, food in their belly. Something that I had all my life, so it was a given for me. And stepping into this world – not every child has that.” Foster carers come from all walks of life, and they
