Angharad

When we think of the jack of all trades, we think of Angharad. A long term foster and volunteer, Angharad has been dedicated to the shelter for many years. Angharad can be found walking dogs at the shelter, attending adoption events, or in the foster office discussing who she should take home next. Angharad does not shy away from any opportunity that could help the animals of the PSPCA. 

Since adopting a PSPCA cat Peppy, a senior diabetic cat, Angharad has continued to care for our neediest population both in and out of the shelter. Angharad is in the shelter every week, on top of caring for her foster animals, and attending events for the shelter. 

In 1 year, Angharad has fostered 12 cats and kittens with the shelter, including a nursing mom and her kittens, a diabetic senior, a hospice cat, and a nervous, 3-legged cat. 

Angharad never shies away from an animal in need and provides a loving foster home for every animal that comes into her. Her loving spirit and kind nature is a gift to all at the shelter.

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.

Benefits of being a foster parent are: 

∘ 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!

If you are interested in fostering an animal from one of our locations, please fill out the Foster Parent Application at the link below (please note it takes around 48 hours for applications to be processed.
