RSPCA Queensland is encouraging community members to become foster carers to help care for animals in need across its centres.
The foster care program operates year‑round and supports animals that require temporary care, socialisation or rehabilitation outside of a shelter environment.
The initiative aims to improve animal wellbeing and increase rehoming outcomes by placing animals in safe, supportive home settings.
By fostering, individuals provide hands‑on care while helping RSPCA Queensland manage growing intake numbers and reduce pressure on shelters.
Community members can support the program by applying to foster, volunteering, donating or adopting, with further information available through RSPCA Queensland.
