Foster Family Agreement
Greyhounds Only, Inc.
While the foster dog is in my care, I agree:
the dog will be kept in a humane fashion, which includes that: the dog will be kept indoors; the dog will be let out in a safe, fenced in, secure area or taken out on a greyhound-approved collar and leash/harness for the purpose of exercise and elimination; and the dog will be allowed out for the purpose of elimination a reasonable number of times per day
to follow veterinarian orders explicitly
to keep the dog in hygienic surroundings
to keep a proper feeding schedule and feed recommended food
not to tether or tie out the dog, nor rely on "invisible fencing" while the dog is in my care
to always supervise and carefully observe the dog when around third parties or other animals, both inside and outside of my home
to adhere to all state and local animal laws
I hereby acknowledge that I have read the Foster Family Handbook and I understand its contents. If I have any questions regarding the care and supervision of my foster greyhound, I will contact a Greyhounds Only representative immediately.
If the dog is in need of non-emergency veterinary care, I will contact a Greyhounds Only representative. If the dog is in need of emergency care I will do the necessary care and contact a Greyhounds Only representative as soon as possible to inform them of the dog's condition.
I understand that this foster dog has never been in a home and as such, has had no contact with "pet animals." I agree not to jeopardize other animals in my household by letting them loose and unattended with my foster dog.
Any problem that I observe with the greyhound in my care that may interfere with its adaptability to home life including, but not limited to, any behavioral or health problems, will be promptly reported to a Greyhounds Only, Inc. representative.
I agree to talk/show the dog to prospective adopters and to be available for the actual adoption of the dog, if needed.
I agree that I have spoken to and have the authority of all members of my household to enter into this agreement and that it is my responsibility to assure that all members of my household abide by these items.
In consideration of Greyhounds Only considering my application for participation in its foster program, I agree to release and hold harmless Greyhounds Only and its officers and directors from and against any and all loss, damage, claims, liability, costs and expenses, of any nature whatsoever, including without limitation attorney's fees and disbursements. I further agree to indemnify Greyhounds Only and its officers and directors for any of the foregoing asserted by any third party, including, but not limited to, other individuals residing at my home, to the extent that any of the foregoing arise from or are occasioned by my participation in the foster program.
