Foster care enriches the lives of cats and dogs in our care by offering them a place to grow, recover, socialize, or learn valuable skills that will help them in finding success in an adoptive home. Whether you have a lot of pet know-how or have never owned a pet before, we have fostering opportunities that will suit your skill level and help improve your knowledge with hands-on experience!
Our foster care program includes:
-Neonatal Care
-Puppies and Kittens
-Shelter breaks for adult dogs and cats
-Medical and Hospice Care
-Adoption Ambassadors
The Fredericksburg SPCA provides most supplies such as: food, toys, linens, and crates that you will need for your foster. We also provide medical care, a 24-hour emergency line, and general advice and guidance through our active foster community and case managers.
What we need from you:
-Be able to provide basic care and feeding
-Reliable transportation for events and medical appointments
-Adherence to our rules for foster animals
-Be an advocate for your foster! (Pictures, bios, videos and more are needed to get your foster adopted!)
