Planned Changes

It is important to consider the impact of any planned changes on your ability to foster. These may include changes to your home or living situation, relationship changes, work commitments, etc.

To help us understand any existing planned changes, please include relevant details in the box provided.

Surrendering Animals

We would like to understand if you have ever surrendered any animal, not just rabbits, for rehoming.

We understand that there are numerous reasons why this may have happened. A history of surrendering animals will not automatically exclude you from fostering.

Where appropriate, we will discuss the circumstances further during your homecheck.

Rabbit Experience

Experience is not essential for the role, as full support and training is always provided.

However, it is useful to understand what experience you may have.

This can be discussed further during your homecheck.

Foster Environments

It is helpful for us to know whether you intend to foster rabbits indoors and/or outdoors.

Not Currently Recruiting Outdoor Foster Carers

At present we are only prioritising applications for indoor foster carers. You are welcome to submit an application for outdoor environments, but please be aware that it may be placed on hold for consideration at a later date.

Foster Space Photos

It would be helpful if you were able to provide some photos of the space where you intend to keep our foster rabbits.

If you have equipment you intend to use, please ensure these are included within the photos provided. However, if you require equipment on load from us, it is still useful for us to see the current/empty space intended

The photos will be used to help us discuss our requirements with you, and for us to agree what changes or equipment may be required for you to provide the best possible care for rabbits placed with you.

Transport Explained

As detailed above, we expect you to have access to transport for your role.

Computer Use

As well as support from your Rabbit Co-ordinator, we use Microsoft Office365 software such as Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Word.
