Join our Foster Care Team

On-call foster families are always needed for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals across the province. You provide love, care, and a safe temporary home for vulnerable animals and we provide food, supplies, and medical care. Together, we improve the quality of life for these animals.

Steps to becoming a foster:

1. Find the BC SPCA location nearest to you on the location list.
   
   
2. View the Foster Care role description to see if fostering is the right fit for you.
   
   
3. If you’re ready to open your home to a furry friend in the next six months, fill in an application.
