Foster Care Program
Greetings! Would you like to give a needy animal a second chance at life? If so, you should consider joining our Foster Care Program. Our program commenced in March 2006 and has given over 200 animals a second chance at life! Please consider
joining this dedicated team. This is a wonderful option for those of you who are unable to volunteer at the shelter or at off-site events because of time constraints. Fostering affords you the luxury of providing care to our animals in the comfort of your home. If you wish to learn more about this program or would like to request an application, please contact Sheila Gregory, Special Programs Coordinator, by calling (803) 928-2778 or via email sgregory3974@yahoo.com.
Program Description
Short-Term Foster Care Program
- You Provide temporary housing for orphaned, sick or special needs animals in the comfort of your home
- You provide food, water, litter (if needed), shelter and lots of love S.P.C.A. pays for routine medical costs and spay/neuter surgery
- You will need to be available 24/7, if you choose to foster newborn animals because bottle feeding is required
- You choose which types of animals you wish to foster (e.g., kittens, puppies, cats or dogs)
All of our animals are assessed before placing them into your home. Before you pick an animal up from the shelter, he or she has undergone the following treatments: an application of frontline has been applied, has had age appropriate vaccines administered, has been bathed and has been dewormed. *Please note that kittens and puppies must be at least 6 weeks old before any vaccines can be administered.
*You must be approved to participate in this program. In order to participate, you must agree to an SPCA representative visiting your home and must be able to provide documentation that your animals have been vaccinated and spayed or neutered.
Join a special league of animal lovers; and give animals a second chance at life!
