DSPCA appeal for more foster families as animal shelter remains at capacity

The DSPCA is encouraging people to consider fostering an animal this Easter as the volume of strays at their shelter remains high.

The animal shelter is attempting to rehome numerous dogs following reports they had hit capacity last month. The charity often promotes its fostering campaign during school holidays, when families have more time on their hands to cater to a pet.

DSPCA spokesperson Gillian Bird explained that short term fostering can be a great asset to families unsure about adopting an animal. She said that fostering is particularly important for the charity as a new season approaches.
