Foster Care

Volunteer Foster Carers take on the responsibility for general care and socialisation of dogs and cats in their own homes until they are ready to be adopted. Lort Smith provides food, bedding, litter trays, bowls and toys for all cats and dogs, plus unlimited advice, support and veterinary care.

A very special Lort Smith foster carer, Maggie typically fosters dogs requiring strict cage confinement after they have had a fracture or patella repair.

Maggie has a dog crate permanently set up in her lounge room – as soon as one foster dog leaves for adoption, she is ready to take on another needing care.

Maggie is incredibly dedicated and performs physiotherapy and rehabilitation exercises on the dogs – this helps them to heal faster and make a full recovery.

Maggie has fostered more than 40 dogs for Lort Smith since she commenced volunteering in 2009.
