Kamloops - Animal Fostering

scroll down to read position descriptionAnimal Fostering. Foster Care volunteers give vulnerable animals a safe place to heal, grow, learn, and feel secure. When animals need extra support, fostering provides an essential level of care that helps them prepare for their forever home or gives them a safe place to stay before being reunited with their families. Responsibilities Communicate urgently with the centre when an animal requires veterinary attention. • Spend quality time with foster animals daily by providing enrichment activities, play, grooming/petting, and exercise. • Provide a suitable environment that meets the animal's needs. • Ability to transport to/from the centre and/or veterinarian as needed. • Complete behaviour and health reports as needed. Requirements & Training • Philosophical harmony with our mission, vision, values and strategic directions. • Fosters, or lead fosters in a family, must be 19+ years of age and have housing where pets are permitted. • Completion of BC SPCA provided online training must be completed prior to starting to foster. • Previous experience caring for injured/ill animals preferred. • Open to learning new animal care and training methods. Volunteering Conditions • Animal Handling: Working directly with animals may involve low-stress handling, or caring for them, which requires patience and attention to detail. • Safety Protocols: Volunteers must adhere to safety protocols to protect themselves and the animals. This includes using personal protective equipment (PPE) where necessary. • Potential Hazards: Be aware of potential hazards such as bites, scratches, or exposure to zoonotic diseases. Training will cover how to minimize these risks. Time Commitment • Approximately 1-3 hours of online training is required for entry into the foster program. Length of training will depend upon animal type you are interested in fostering. Attendance to an in-centre orientation or interview may be required before starting to foster. • We request that fosters commit to being on the foster list for a minimum of 6 months after application has been accepted. • The length of each foster placement varies depending upon a variety of factors and can be just a weekend, or months while an animal heals from surgery or a new mother raises her newborns. Benefits of Volunteering • Fostering makes a direct impact on animals in need, can bring joy to volunteers, and strengthen family bonds. It's also a great way to gain valuable skills for future careers in animal care. Quality time with animals who need your support. • The intrinsic reward of making a difference in an animal's life by caring for them as they transition into their forever homes. • Opportunities to attend BC SPCA events, training and more.
