Without our wonderful carers we would not have the means
to save(d) so many animals from certain death or ill treatment.
We are always looking for carers to house animals until such time as they
are adopted. Until we have sufficient funding to build our shelter —
the more carers we have, the more animals we can save.
If you live in the Northern Rivers Region of NSW (Australia) and would
either, like to know more or, want to become a carer, please read through
our FAQs, fill in our online form and
we will contact you to discuss the many facets of caring for our animals
before adoption.
Some questions you may need to ask us are answered below:-
Do I have to live in the Northern Rivers or Port Macquarie Area?
Yes! Our animals are located in these areas and as such our carers
need to live within these areas. If you want to become a carer of animals
our links page lists other groups who may be
in your area and who may need carers.

Do I have to pay for Food for animals in my care?
There was a time when all food costs were covered by the carers, but
through the generosity of public food donations, Uncle Bens and Meat E Vite we can now provide food to our carers.
Top
What about Veterinary Fees?
ARRG pays for all veterinary fees for animals in care.
Top
Can I be a 'Foster Carer' if I have other animals?
Yes, if your pets are comfortable to receive short-term or long-term
visitors.
Top
I have children, does that rule me out from being a 'Foster Carer'?
No, although we are careful in the choice of animal where toddlers
live. We explain further when talking to potential new carers.
Top
How long are the animals in care?
There is no strict time-frame for animals in care. They remain with
the carer until such time as a suitable permanent home can be found.
Top
Is there a limit to the number of animals I can foster?
Our priority is the care of the animals, therefore we are guided by
practicalities, your facilities and the time you have available to care.
We do not want to overburden our carers.
Most local councils do not have limits on the number of dogs you can
house on your property, other than Kyogle Council who do have a limit.
Top
Do I have a choice of the type and size of animal I would want to
foster?
Your situation, other pets, and your choice determines what size and
type of animal you are able to care for.
