We are looking for caring people to assist us with fostering.  Before you complete the Foster Care Application, please review the information below to make sure you are fully prepared to becoming a foster home care giver.  

 

Questions to Consider

• Do you have adequate space for the foster animal(s)?  Depending on the number of animals currently in your household, making room for a temporary addition is very important.

• What is the temperament of your own animals?  Depending on the foster situation, being able to separate the foster animal(s) from your own animals may be best.

• Are you emotionally prepared to return the foster animal to the SPCA when he/she finds a home?  One becomes easily attached after fostering for a period of time. The transition can be very difficult, especially for the first foster.

• Do you feel comfortable monitoring the animal's general health?  It's best if you can keep a journal of their behavior. Any changes in appetite, bathroom habits, and overall behavior of the animal should be reported.
