If we gave Renee a tagline it would be, "Take home the dog that needs it most."
When a foster leaves with her, we know their lives have changed for the better instantly. Renee has been a foster parent with the PSPCA since 2015 when she foster failed her first foster - Edge. Since adopting Edge, she has fostered 5 other dogs with behavior needs, one including Pancake in 2020 who she also adopted.
You might remember, Mondays with Morganna which we started as a promotion to spotlight Morganna's foster journey with Renee. Morganna struggled in shelter life and if it weren't for Renee we would have never seen her personality blossom. She was happily adopted in the Fall of 2023 after over 2 years in our care and over a year with Renee in foster care.
Renee recently took home Koji who was rescued from our animal law enforcement team in June of 2022. After 18 months in the shelter, Koji has a warm bed and the best foster mom to call his own. Koji is looking for his forever home.

Thank you so much for your interest in fostering with the PSPCA! Please read on to learn a little more about our foster program. A foster parent is someone who provides temporary housing and care for an animal sheltered with the Pennsylvania SPCA. Our Foster Care program is designed to provide a caring home where animals can receive more individualized attention. Animals who are in need of foster care may be recovering from illness, on hold due to a court case, requiring socialization, or aren’t old enough to be placed in a forever home, such as puppies and kittens.
∘ Experience the joy of caring for a pet without having to make a lifetime commitment.
∘ Save the life not only of the animal being fostered, but free up space at the shelter for another animal in need.
∘ Have the rewarding experience of helping an animal on their journey to finding a forever home.
∘ Learn more about animals by fostering different types of animals, with different behavioral and medical needs.
∘ Have the support of foster, behavior, and medical staff for the duration of your foster animal’s stay.
∘ The PSPCA can provide supplies including food(dry and wet), crates, toys, litter, litter boxes, and other basic supplies you may need!
