Foster an Animal

As we have no shelter or centre we depend on a network of foster families to look after animals that come into our care. Foster homes are always needed, the more we have the more animals we can save!

The animals are assessed by our team to decide which families they would suit i.e. if they can be around children, if they get on with other animals, if they need a quiet foster home to make them feel safe and secure due to being the victims of animal cruelty or neglect. Foster families look after the animals until they are placed into their new forever homes.

There is no cost in fostering and it is hugely rewarding knowing that you have helped to save and care for an animal in a practical way until a new happy, loving forever home is found.

If you would like to play a very important role in helping South East Animal Rescue to cater for the needs and welfare of animals then please join the fostering network by filling out the online fostering form here. 

Once you have completed the foster form a member of our team will be contact with you as soon as possible to discuss and arrange a home-check.

Upon successful completion of a home-check our team member will discuss the most suitable animals for you that are currently in need of a foster home.

Please also check out our Facebook page to see some of the animals that are currently in need of fostering.

Assist in the Charity Shop

Do you have a few hours to spare? 

We depend on volunteers to help run our charity shop in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford. 

Volunteering is a great opportunity to meet people, have fun, and to help support our charity. Shop Volunteers can help in many different ways – organising the stock, dressing the window, preparing goods for sale, helping customers in the shop and helping at the till. They provide a friendly welcome to customers and help the shop to run smoothly.

If you have a few hours to spare each week and you would like to volunteer as a shop assistant then please fill out the online charity shop assistant form here.
