Fosters sign up to help provide temporary homes to animals in the care of the BC SPCA who are not yet ready for adoption or for pets requiring emergency boarding for reasons such as evacuation due to wildfires. Individuals who are labelled “foster-to-adopt” have been approved to adopt and provide a permanent home to a certain animal(s); however, the animal may still need medical procedures such as spay/neuter. As these procedures are paid for by the BC SPCA they must officially be under their care, so are referred to as ‘foster-to-adopt.’ Once that condition is met, the adoption will become official, and care/responsibility will transfer to their new guardians.
