FOSTER CARER OF THE YEAR

This category celebrates an exceptional foster carer who has made a real difference to the lives of rescue pets. Foster carers play a vital role in giving animals a safe, loving home while they wait for their forever families. We’re looking for individuals whose dedication and compassion have helped animals recover, rebuild trust, and get the second chance they deserve.

Perhaps they’ve cared for many animals over the years, gone above and beyond to support those with complex needs, or shown incredible patience helping nervous or traumatised pets learn to feel safe again. Whatever their story, we want to hear about the foster carers whose kindness has helped transform the lives of rescue animals.

You can nominate yourself, or a foster carer who you believe deserves recognition.
