As we transition into the New Year, the BC SPCA still has plenty of animals hoping to find their forever homes in 2024. These long-term residents have only one New Year’s resolution: To find their forever home. There is no time limit – they stay with us until they find their perfect match.
“We believe that every animal can find their forever home; it just takes a little longer to find the perfect match for some of them,” says Adrienne McBride, senior director, community animal centres.
The BC SPCA utilizes its roster of volunteer foster homes to house its long-term residents. “We want to keep animals mentally and physically strong as they wait to be adopted, so there are some fabulous fosters who will take on our long-term residents to give them a loving home environment,” says McBride.
McBride adds that the animals are engaged in enrichment activities and positive reinforcement training when they are at the shelter and with their foster families.
There are several long-term residents currently in our care. The number of days in care for these featured animals ranges from 50 days to just under one year. They all deserve a loving home and a family to call their own. Learn more about animals looking for a forever home, how to adopt them or find out about becoming a foster volunteer.
