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.
Foster carers have been approved through an assessment process and had a home visit by a PFSS team member.
For more information please visit: www.pfss.org.uk or tel: 0844 811 9909 between 9am and 7pm daily.
