TEARS is in desperate need of foster parents to bottle-feed tiny puppies and provide temporary homes for adult dogs displaced after the recent storm damage to several of the organisation’s kennels. With repairs expected to take at least a month, foster homes are urgently needed to help keep these dogs safe, warm, and cared for while the kennels are rebuilt.
TEARS kennels are currently full and, as winter sets in, every animal adopted makes space for another one to get off the streets, out of the rain, and into the care of TEARS.
TEARS Operations Manager, Mandy Store, says,
“We have a lot of very young puppies that need bottle-feeding. Being a foster parent takes a very special type of person, but it is so rewarding.”
Potential bottle-baby fosters need to have previous bottle-feeding experience and should preferably live in the Southern Suburbs or Deep South areas to ensure easy access to support and veterinary care when needed.

“Last month, we only had 29 dogs adopted, mostly puppies. We have many puppies that have been surrendered or found by us, it’s very sad and quite scary. This is why sterilising animals is so important,”
says Store.
This winter, TEARS is placing a special focus on adult dog adoptions and fostering.
“We need to get as many of our beautiful dogs into caring homes as possible,”
adds Store. Whether you can bottle-feed vulnerable puppies, foster an adult dog while kennels are repaired, or offer a forever home through adoption, your support can make a life-changing difference.
