Foster understands that Rescue will find this dog a home and that Foster is not to adopt or give away this dog to anyone not approved by rescue.

Foster agrees to exercise normal care in maintaining the health of this Dog.

Foster agrees to contact NNR immediately if the dog becomes ill or is missing.

Foster agrees all medical care/treatment needs to be authorized by Rescue before the expense is incurred unless the situation can be categorized as life-threatening. Life threatening means that the dog is in danger of dying. Expenses incurred without approval will not be paid for by Rescue and the Foster will be responsible for covering these expenses.

Foster will provide fresh food, fresh water, and appropriate exercise daily.

Foster agrees to provide updates to Rescue on the dog’s progress.

Foster agrees to always keep the foster dog within a fenced yard (not left outside on a chain) or supervised on a leash. Foster agrees to never leave this dog outside when no one is home; to never allow the dog to be tied to a doghouse or left out on a chain, or left unsupervised in a yard.

Foster agrees to not allow a minor (person under the age of 18) to walk or handle the dog unsupervised by a parent.

Foster is NEVER to use the following tools on the dog:
Flexi/retractable leash
Any type of electronic collar
Prong collar or choke chain
Any tool deemed aversive by the foster support team

Foster has been advised that dogs can sometimes dig, chew, soil, and exhibit other undesirable traits that could cause damage to personal property. Rescue is not responsible for damage caused by the dog.

The rescue has disclosed all known behavioral and medical issues of the dog, but does not guarantee the accuracy of this information or lack of information from the dogs original owner.

Foster agrees to strictly follow any post-operative wound care or any other care guidelines outlined by the veterinarian including but not limited to: # of days the dog should wear a surgical cone, restrict exercise, stay dry, stay clean, and follow any other advice from the veterinarian. I understand that if I deviate from this advice I am financially liable for the consequences.

Foster agrees that if foster intends to adopt their foster dog, they have first consideration but need approval from Rescue.

Foster agrees that adoption will be completed within 48 hours of the dog being deemed by the rescue as ready for adoption. Completing adoption requires signing the adoption agreement and submitting the adoption donation.

It is further agreed that if the Foster fails to perform any of those acts which he/she has guaranteed to perform, that the Rescue may, at its option, revoke this agreement and retake possession of the dog without delay. Foster agrees to hold harmless and release Rescue and/or its members, volunteers and other individuals working for and/or assisting with rescue from all liability, claims, and/or causes of action arising from any acts, injury and/or occurrences engaged in and/or caused by the dog subject to this agreement, as well as indemnification for damages, court costs, and/or attorney's fees incurred by the Rescue and/or its members for any court proceedings relating to such matters.
