If your kids have been begging for a new furry friend, or perhaps you're just looking for an extra family member at Christmas, the Humboldt SPCA is looking for you.

Back for another year is the organization's 'Foster for the Holidays' program, where you can take a dog into your home over the holidays.

Organizer Wanda Price says that the program runs from December 21 to January 4, potentially allowing families to give having a pet a trial to see how they fit in.

Price says that the SPCA provides all the supplies needed for the two week period, and all the foster family needs to do it give the love and attention their pet requires.

Those interested in fostering a pet for the holidays can contact Price at the SPCA by calling 306-682-5550.
