Foster Program

In the context of the short suspension of the foster program and the uncertainty surrounding its current and future status, the reasons given were myriad.  Simply put, the chaos of the THS paperwork indicated that there were several questionable issues surrounding the Foster Program. Issues such as lack of paperwork, lack of follow-up of foster placements, no detailing of consistent veterinarian care, etc.

When OSPCA staff were queired as to HOW MANY inspections were done prior to suspending the program, their response was they were aware of "maybe" 45 inspections of foster parents but were extremely VAGUE about how many were actualy carried out. Certaintly none of the fosters present (and simply through counting those who identified themselves as foster parents there were at least 10) had not received even a phone call and were unaware of this inspection.  Conversely, they indicated that another reason for the suspension was that they needed animals to be "cleared by vets" that woudl be placed into home approved by THS and OSPCA - yet again, no one of whom we are aware has received a call!
