Become a foster family

Are you looking for the perfect companion for your home? Do you have the desire to help and save animals, but lack the necessary resources? Are you considering adopting a little companion, but you are not yet sure of your criteria–or what adoption entails?

By becoming a foster family, you temporarily welcome, care for, and adopt an animal in need. We take care of the costs, and you change a life!

Prerequisites and conditions for becoming a foster family:

You must be able to attend medical appointments (we will take your availability into consideration). As our veterinary partners are located in the greater Montreal area, we are mainly looking for families living within 50 km from our partners. However, we welcome all applications as we rescue animals all over Quebec and work hard to find them loving homes.

You must be comfortable administering various types of care–from simple observation to wound care,  based on your experience.

For the duration of care, regular communication with the Aristopaws is required in order to keep track of the animal’s health and overall progress.

Remember that our team is always available to advise and guide you throughout the recovery process. All necessary expenses, including food, veterinary care, medication, etc., are covered by our organization.

How does fostering work?

Complete the form below. While the form may seem detailed, it simply allows us to better understand which cases and which animals best fit your lifestyle.

We will analyze your form and a volunteer will contact you for a telephone interview.

When we have an animal matching your criteria, we will call you to discuss and explain the case in more detail. You do not have to commit if the timing is not ideal.

How long does fostering take?

The duration depends on the animal’s recovery and health, as well as the adoption process. If you can no longer care for the animal, we can relocate it to another foster family. However, relocating can take some time, which may result in a short delay.

Note: We may not have an animal to offer you immediately, but please be patient. Sooner or later, an animal will certainly need your love and rescue, and we will need your help!
