Foster Homes Needed In order to maintain our rescue work, the SPCA of SWMI needs caring foster homes. Could you offer a dog or cat a temporary home while we find a permanent home?• You will be helping to save more animals' lives in our community • You will be helping to restore a homeless animal's faith in human beings • You will be helping us learn more about an animal's personality so we can find the best human match • You will be able to provide consistent training, thereby making the animal more adoptable Find out more about fostering. Read a testimonial about fostering from one of our volunteers. Please contact us if you would like to open up your home to one of our pets, or if you have questions about fostering: Dogs: dogfosters@spcaswmich.org Cats: catfosters@spcaswmich.org |
