A great way TO HELP the animals!
Being a foster family for the Eastern Townships SPA means welcoming an animal into your home, on a temporary basis. These animals need a little time before being placed up for adoption.
For all these animals, the comfort of a home is the ideal environment to get through this waiting period.
WHY become a foster family?
- To allow an animal to stay in a calm, family environment while undergoing treatment.
- To provide a calm and better adapted environment for an animal needing to be socialized.
- To free up space at the shelter when we are crowded.
- To take an active part in the mission of your SPA.
What are the CRITERIA to become a foster family?
- Have time to dedicate to your foster animal as if he or she were your own pet!
- If you already have pets at home, they must all be spayed or neutered and have their vaccinations up to date.
- Be available to come to the shelter for a follow-up appointment.
- Have at your disposal a room that can be used for isolation in some cases.
Be patient and compassionate with your foster animal.
Please note that :
- Other criteria may apply depending on the animal(s) looking for a foster family. Our staff will inform you of all the details.
- Your SPA will provide you with everything you need to ensure the animal’s well-being ( litter, food, medication, etc.).
For the moment, we have enough Foster Families to meet our needs.
