20. Foster shall only use GARD approved practitioners of animal medical care for any and all medical treatment for any foster animals in Foster’s care. Should an emergency present itself which precludes Foster from using a GARD approved medical facility, then, Foster shall obtain GARD approval of using a medical animal facility outside of the approved ones. If circumstances are such that pre-approval is impractical, then Foster as soon as circumstances permit, will notify GARD of the situation with the animal. Once the animal is stabilized, Foster will take immediate steps to present the animal to a GARD approved facility and shall have all medical records forwarded to that facility.
