RECRUITING FOR INDOOR PLACEMENTS ONLY

  • Have The Space?

    You need a space of at least 3m x 2m in total to provide adequate living & exercise space.  We can help provide any necessary equipment to keep the rabbits comfortable and safe.

  • Access to Transport

    You need access to transport to get rabbits safely to vets for routine and emergency appointments.  

    You may also need to be able to get to our rescue hub in Kirkintilloch (G66 postcode area) to collect or return your fostered rabbits, or to facilitate some welfare appointments.  Some transport assistance for these trips is available through our volunteer team for foster carers living in the Greater Glasgow area only.

  • Over 16 Years Old

    You need to be 16 years or over, and have the homeowner or landlords permission to keep rabbits.

Did you know you can foster rabbits even if you have other animals in the household?

Let us know if you have other animals on your application form and we’ll give you advice on how to keep our rabbits safe and happy while sharing their home and garden with other furry family members

The most common reason we hear why people think they couldn’t foster is because they couldn’t give the rabbits up for adoption after getting to know them so well.

Although our fosterers miss the rabbits they have been looking after they’re also excited to find out who is coming to stay next!

By continuing to foster placement-after-placement you can be directly part of the journey that saves dozens of rabbits every year.

Beloved Rabbits is completely operated by volunteers and many of our foster carers work or study full time. 

Our rescue support hub in Kirkintilloch operates in evenings and weekends, and many of our vet partners offer evening and weekend appointments too.

Beloved Rabbits can often loan the equipment needed to get you started as a foster carer.

Look at some examples of our foster care setups here.

We provide the equipment and access to a local vet, where all bills are charged to the charity's account.

Foster Carers are asked to cover day-to-day costs such as food, bedding toys and treats.

You must have access to transport within your household that will allow you easy access to your local veterinary services, including access to Emergency Vet Services out of hours.

We do not support the use of public transport services as the stress of such journeys can be too excessive for some rabbits.

We can provide support for transporting rabbits to/from our Rescue Support Hub in Kirkintilloch on Saturdays.  This will allow us to support facilitating the collection or return of foster placements, or any welfare appointments needed at our own facilities.
