Many of the shelters in this area are over run with animals especially small animals. A lot of these small aniimals come from kill shelters in Montreal (for some reason montreal is horrible for breeding then killing their animals). Our shelter locally has been taking in a load of small animals now they have a few hundred and not many have been being adopted. The shelter doesnt have room nor funds, and they need individuals to help out.
I was thinking maybe foster guinea pigs, rabbits, or hamster even just a couple to help.

That's fantastic. Just remember just because they are small animals they are a big responsibility. Good luck.

we have only two shelters here in Montreal, the SPCA and berger blanc, berger blanc is a non kill shelter, Montreal is a big city, Toronto is a lot worse. I am glad the animals are going somewhere.

Your heart is certainly in the right place, but do you have the time and energy to take on more animals? I you do not have the time it takes to properly care for an animal, it would be unfair to the foster pets. On the otherhand, if you have the energy and time, what are you waiting for, you'd make a great foster pet caregiver.

It would be really great if you could. I like animals and I like keeping them if i'm allowed to. I like taking care of them whenever I have the time.

Oh if you can do it I say go for it. I would not have the space here, etc. I would just be prepared for alot of responsibility too with all of them plus your other furbabies. Good luck with it if you do decide to try it, it's a selfish act for sure. Being an animal lover as well, I would love to do that as well.
