Foster Care Volunteer

If you're 19 or older and interested in making a meaningful impact through fostering, we’d love to invite you to apply.

At this time, we have limited onboarding capacity, and based on the current needs of animals requiring foster care, we can only process applications from individuals who can support in the following ways:

• You’re able and willing to care for medium to large-sized dogs, or

• You’re open to fostering animals needing behavior support (such as under-socialized cats or dogs), or

• You can care for animals with medical needs, including those recovering from surgery, or

• You can support kittens that require bottle feeding every few hours, or

• You can support animals that may need specialized fostering (or PPE fostering), or

• You can support senior animals.

Commitment:

• You can commit to a minimum of 6 months (6 months available to receive foster requests. Foster placement and length depend on matching results and individual animal needs)

Reminders:

• If the above criteria don’t align with your current situation, we invite you to check back in the future as opportunities may change.
• You can also learn more about the BC SPCA Foster Program to help determine if fostering is right for you.
• Please note that this role requires the completion of mandatory online training.
