Fostering With The SPCA of the Triad

So You Want to Save a Life, but Can't Adopt Right Now?

Fostering is the way to go!

Fostering an animal frees up space here at the SPCA shelter. Because we never euthanize healthy and adoptable animals, we cannot take in more once we are full. Foster families provide us with the ability to save even more lives!

Fostering is Great for the Following Reasons:

1. It gets animals out of the shelter environment and into a home environment.

2. It offers the animals a chance to get one on one socialization and love on a daily basis.

3. It is a great way to get a head start on house training and simple commands.

4. It drastically reduces chances that the animal will get common shelter-borne illnesses.

5. It enriches your life and the life of the animal you have chosen to foster.

HERE IS WHAT WE EXPECT OF YOU:

Complete Volunteer Orientation: You must complete volunteer orientation. This is a time event. Email us at volunteers@triadspca.org, and we will add you to a date that is convenient for you.
Bring the Animal to Adoption Events: While the animal is in your care, you must bring it to adoption events. We can discuss which ones based on your schedule.
Emergency Transportation: We ask that you transport the pet if emergency care is needed. We pay all costs, but we are not always available for transport.
Follow Guidelines: Follow the guidelines set forth in our foster contract and manual.

HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US:

Food: All food is provided by us.
Veterinary Costs: All veterinary costs are provided by us.
We Will Take the Animal Back: We will take the animal back at any time for any reason.
