Foster Parent Online Application

Thank you for applying to the Foster Program at the Calgary Humane Society. Please complete this application with as much detailed information as possible. Successful applicants will be required to provide a Police Information Check at their own expense to be arranged by Calgary Humane Society. A basic knowledge of animal care and behaviour along with a willingness to attend further training is required.

*Please note that CHS does not have a separate “holiday foster” program as we did in 2020. If you are interested in fostering over the holidays you are welcome to fill out our general application. We cannot guarantee foster placement over the holidays, but there is never an obligation to take on a foster animal. The foster team understands that busy schedules can affect foster parent availability, and will work with you on scheduling if you are only able to foster during certain parts of the year*
