*Listed in alphabetical order*
3R Animal Rescue
We would require foster carers from Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast or Brisbane. 3R Animal Rescue is a non profit organisation that rescues dogs that have been surrendered by owners, from unhealthy environments or dogs from situations that would have them be put to sleep. We take these dogs, assess them, put training, behaviour modification, and canine therapy in place to turn their lives around. We volunteer our time to make sure these animals get the best home possible. We rely on foster carers to take everyday care of them, whilst they are developing new behaviours, overcoming fears, and preparing for a more relaxed, fearless life.
