🐾 This is What Volunteering Means 🐾

It looks like walks in the sunshine, gentle grooming sessions, wagging tails, and quiet moments of trust.

Volunteering at Wigglestail isn’t just about helping—it’s about connecting. Whether it’s giving a nervous dog their first brush without fear, a pig a belly rub, or watching a once-wary pup enjoy a peaceful stroll, every moment makes a difference.

Our volunteers are the heart of what we do. Their time, love, and patience transform lives—one walk, cuddle, and kind word at a time.

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, we promise it’s worth it. This is what volunteering looks like. This is what it means.

Thank you to everyone who gives their time so generously.

Today is World Stray Animals Day

From lonely streets to loving care — every life we save tells a story of hope. 🤞

This transformation is only possible because of:

• 🛟 Rescue efforts that give animals a second chance

• ✂️ Sterilisation programs that prevent future suffering
• ❤️ Community support that powers everything we do

Stray Animals Day is a reminder of the work still to be done — and the lives waiting to be saved.

🐾 Fostering an Animal: A Life-Changing Experience! 🐾

Fostering an animal is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Not only does it provide a temporary safe haven for an animal in need, but it also plays a vital role in preparing them for their forever home.

This is your chance to make a real difference—and we’ll be there to support you every step of the way! ❤️🐶🐱

How Fostering Works

1️⃣ Apply to Foster

📩 Send us a direct message or email [email protected] to express your interest.
📝 We’ll send you an application form to understand your home, experience, and fostering preferences.
🏡 A home visit/interview will be arranged to ensure a safe and suitable environment.

2️⃣ Finding the Right Match

🐾 We’ll carefully match you with an animal suited to your lifestyle.
💛 You’ll have a chance to meet the animal before making a final decision.

3️⃣ Foster Agreement & Training

✅ You’ll sign a foster agreement outlining your role and responsibilities.
🎓 We’ll provide guidance on feeding, care, and any medical needs.

4️⃣ Bringing Your Foster Home

🏠 The animal may take some time to adjust, so patience and a quiet space are key.
⏳ Establishing a routine for food, exercise, and socialization will help them settle in.

What to Expect

💛 An Emotional Journey – You’ll bond with your foster, making it hard to say goodbye—but remember, you’re a crucial part of their journey to a loving home!
⏳ Time & Commitment – Fostering requires daily care, patience, and possibly some basic training.
🤝 Full Support from Us – We cover medical costs and provide food, guidance, and assistance whenever you need it!

How Fostering Helps

🐕 Reduces stress for the animal, allowing them to show their true personality.
🏡 Helps with rehabilitation, increasing their chances of finding a forever home.
💙 Makes space at our sanctuary, meaning we can help more animals in need!

Could You Open Your Home to a Foster Animal?

By fostering, you’re giving an animal a second chance at happiness while experiencing the love and fulfillment that comes with helping them on their journey.

📩 If you’re interested, send us a message—our animals are waiting to meet you! ❤️
