Fostering a animal is easy and cheap. The pound supplys you with food, bedding and vet bills all you have to do is look after the animal until he/she finds a home Animals in pounds can be transported all over australia to the right homes.
Hey guys,
Just want to make it aware that it isn't always the pounds that give you the supplies- I only know of Renbury helping out in critical cases with that or shelters like RSPCA or AWL. Your best bet with fostering is to go through a reputable rescue group- most will do an inspection of your house and ask you a few questions about your lifestyle and history with pets just so they know what kind of time you have and what you are prepared for. I also advise that if money is a bit of an issue- only go with a rescue group that are 16D approved and have an agreement with a vet for discount care- even if they pay for the vet treatment it would be better for them and you then know they are loyal to vets.
Again with transport I must advise that you make sure the animal is vet checked and quarantine for at least 3-4 days before being transported. As pound animals have been in much more contact with other animals than normal pets, they can be more prone to illness and disease such as parvo virus and simple things like hookworm. When transported, dogs are put into a trailer next to each other for many hours at a time, you do not know where these other dogs have come from thus it would be ideal to get all vaccinations done before transport as well. There have been cases where dogs have been transported from NSW to VIC only to be diagnosed with parvo on the way.
Dogs rescue S.A is one example of a reputable group that does this kind of work. they also rescue cats.

I absolutely adore SA Dog Rescue, Marg is such an amazing woman and she has one of the most dedicated teams I have ever had the pleasure to work with

You know Marg? Have you met little micky? One of the cutest dogs in the world, and I'm not terribly fond of little fluffy things.
