The Importance of Foster Friends

There are so many different ways to volunteer at the Brant County SPCA and one of them is by becoming a foster family. By becoming a foster friend you will be supporting the animals that need most -- literally. Whether providing a comfortable, isolated place for pregnant animals, or feeding orphaned kittens every four hours, you will be contributing to the health and well-being
of many animals. Though all food, supplies and medical care are provided by us, the time, commitment, benevolence and understanding will be up to you.


One of the amazing foster friends that we have right now is Karen from Pet-D-Gree Professional Pet Care Services. Not only does Karen lead a busy life with her pet centered business but she has also been working with the Brant County SPCA for many years fostering some of our animals in need when she has the time. Karen's foster right now?

New Mom Meg and her band of new pups, all seven of them! Because of our foster friend Meg was able to give birth outside the confines of the shelter and is able to bond with her pups in an environment that is quiet, spacious and had plenty of care.

Sometimes our lifestyle makes it hard to make the years of commitment that a pet will need and we understand that. This is a way for pet lovers to give back to an organization that needs places short term to house animals that are most in need.

Thank you Karen and to all our other foster friends for the dedicated work that you do for the Brant County SPCA. We will be following Meg and her pups over the next weeks and introducing you to other foster friends, volunteers, pets and staff.
