What should I do if the BC SPCA foster animal I am caring for isn’t a good fit or I need a break from fostering?

We want fostering to be a positive experience for both you and the animals.

When we don’t have much history on an animal, it can be hard to know if a placement will work until they are in your home. If the animal isn’t a good fit, that’s okay!

Let your foster support contact know, and we’ll arrange alternative care for the animal. We’ll also use what we’ve learned to find them another foster home and match you with an animal that’s a better fit for you and your home.

If you need to take a break, reach out to your foster support contact. The BC SPCA will arrange alternate care for the foster animal. Life happens and we are here to support you.
