QAWS :: Foster Homes Needed!
As QAWS is the only rescue shelter in Qatar, we are severely over-crowded and are having to depend more and more on foster families to help us out. Unfortunately there are not enough reliable foster homes to help with the number of animals needing help. Dogs in Doha has also been set up to provide a network of foster families to try and alleviate the pressure from the shelter and ensure more animals are given the chance they deserve.
We are looking for families that are able to look after dogs, puppies, cats & kittens for an indefinite period of time until they are either rehomed or relocated to the QAWS shelter.
Foster families will have an "interview" to find out what kind of animal (dog/cat/puppy/kitten) will be best suited to their family and put on file. When an animal needs fostering we will contact the most suitable family. Foster families are advised to be prepared to receive an animal as often there isn't a lot of notice!
The majority of the animals in need of fostering are overspill from the QAWS shelter, orphan puppies & kittens, animals recovering from injuries and emaciated animals that need feeding up! We will do our best to match the animals and their needs to the families to make sure the fostering process is a happy and productive one for both animal and family!
There is currently a waiting list of over 30 dogs & puppies needing assistance....
If you can help, please email Kelly at [email protected] or Birgit at [email protected]
Thank you!!
