Please ensure that you have permission to foster animals from the property owners or landlords before submitting this application. You are responsible for any damage done to any private or personal property by a foster animal while it is in your care. It is your responsibility to ensure that your lease or housing situation allows foster animals. Please provide the name and phone number of the homeowner or your landlord below, as well as your relationship with them.

ex: Jane Doe - 999-999-9999 - landlord; or: John Doe - 999-999-9999 - father

Do you have reliable access to a vehicle and the ability to come to the shelter for necessary health checks for your foster animal(s)?

Yes

No

Fosters may be required to travel to and from the shelter multiple times in a foster period. This would include for pick up and return of foster animals, but also for appointments and picking up necessary supplies. If you are not able to meet this requirement, we encourage you to see our Volunteering section on our webpage for other ways that you may be able to help shelter animals.

What is your primary reason for wanting to foster animals with the NS SPCA?

I want to help animals that are not well-suited to life in a shelter.

I want to volunteer with shelter animals, but cannot commit to the schedule requirements for in-person volunteering.

I want to volunteer with shelter animals, but my closest shelter is not accepting volunteers.

I want to have animals in my life, but am unable to commit to a permanent pet at this time.

I want to adopt and I think that fostering is a good way to find the right "fit".
