I understand that any animal(s) I foster is/are the property of the League, and I agree to turn it/them over to the League immediately upon request. I agree to bring any animal(s) fostered by me to the shelter for exams, vaccinations, weight checks, or other reason deemed necessary by the League at a mutually agreed upon date and/or time.
I understand that I am responsible for adhering to all League standards of care and applicable local and state laws dealing with animal welfare.
Any animal(s) fostered by me will be fed, watered, and exercised appropriately. I agree to provide an adequate and nutritious diet, including any necessary supplements, as recommended by the League. I also agree to abide by any instructions given by the League regarding the feeding of specific brands or types of supplemental food and/or nutritional supplements to my foster animals.
I will not allow any foster dogs or puppies to have any unsupervised off-leash time. I will not allow foster cats or kittens to go outside at any time except to transport them to and from the shelter or to a veterinarian, if needed. I agree to transport any foster cats, kittens, puppies, and small dogs in a sturdy carrier. I agree to transport any foster animal(s) in an enclosed vehicle only, and I will not allow them to ride in the bed of a pickup or a convertible. I agree that animals will not be kept outside.
I understand the League will take every precaution to ensure that any animal(s) I foster are reasonably healthy and that any known health problems will be disclosed to me prior to my taking the animal into my home, but the League cannot be held responsible for any unforeseen health problem that may develop after the animal(s) is/are in my care. I understand the League may require me to return my foster animal(s) to the shelter to assess or treat any health problem, at its discretion.
I understand that I am not authorized to seek outside veterinary care for League foster animals without approval from League staff or the League foster coordination team and may be dismissed from the foster program for doing so. If I choose to treat the animal(s) at a veterinarian of my choice, I understand that I will assume full responsibility for payment of the vet bill, and that the League will be unable to reimburse me for any such payment.
I agree to provide adequate, positive socialization for any animal(s) fostered by me to help ensure their temperament will be as sound as possible. I also agree, when requested, to give a progress report to the League. I agree to bring my foster animal(s) into the shelter for any required vaccinations, de-worming, or other medication prescribed and provided by the League at no cost to me. When the foster period is over, I will contact the League to return the animal(s) and will do so at the agreed upon time.
I agree to keep my foster animal(s) separate from my own pets for at least the first 14 days of the foster period, and that the possibility of foster animals fighting, injuring, or spreading illness to my own pets does exist. I agree that I will keep my own pet up to date on vaccines and de-wormers according to my own veterinarian, while I am fostering any animal(s) for the League. I understand that if I choose to allow my foster animal(s) and my own pet(s) to have access to each other, I do so at my own risk, and will not hold the League liable for any illness or injury that may occur to my own pet(s). I agree to keep League animals safe from harm/illness as a result of contact with resident pets.
I understand the potential for contagious illness is high in animals. Therefore, I agree not to mix any of my foster animals or animals from more than one litter unless approved by the League. I also agree not to foster animals from any other organization while I am fostering for the League, unless granted specific approval by the League.
I understand that League staff have the right to limit the number of animals in my care at any given time.
I agree to update the League of any changes to my contact information or home address within 14 days of the change taking place.
I assume responsibility for any events that occur in connection with my fostering of an animal for the League. I understand the possibility of my children or others being bitten, scratched, or contracting disease does exist. I agree to be responsible for my children and anyone else handling any animal(s) fostered by me in a safe and hygienic manner and will not hold the League responsible for any injuries that may result from my failure to do so. I AGREE TO NOTIFY A LEAGUE REPRESENTATIVE IMMEDIATELY OF ANY BITES THAT BREAK THE SKIN that occur to any person or animal while any foster animal is in my care.
Any animal fostered by me is to be adopted to a permanent home only under the supervision of the League, to an adopter approved by the League, even if the adopter is me or a member of my household. All foster animals MUST be returned to the League for sterilization and completion of adoption paperwork prior to permanent adoption. I understand that if I find a suitable home for any animal that I am fostering, all of the above conditions must apply, and that the adopter must pay the adoption fee.
I understand that the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League cannot and does not make any representations or warranties, either expressed or implied concerning the temperament, habits, health, pedigree, disposition, age, sex, or background of this animal and that I have no right to a reimbursement of medical, adoption or other professional fees. Furthermore, I understand that the animal’s future reactions to me, my family or any other person are completely unpredictable because animals, like people, have their own personalities.
In consideration of receiving any League foster animal, I, as a foster caregiver, hereby release Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, its agents, and employees from all claims of injury or damage that a fostered dog/cat/other may cause me or my property. I agree to hold harmless, defend and indemnify Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, its contract veterinarians, agents, and employees from any and all claims of liability to other persons for injuries or damage arising out of or in connection with services of this program or caused to them or their property by the animal(s) I am fostering through Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.
If for any reason, I do not comply with all provisions of this agreement, I agree to return the fostered animal to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League upon demand of the enforcement agent. If I refuse to return the fostered animal to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League upon demand of the enforcement agent, I understand the League reserves the right to impound them as legal owner of the animal.
I acknowledge that a League staff member has reviewed documented information about this animal with me and that I have received said documentation in writing. I am fostering with awareness of any documented medical or behavioral history.
