I understand that it's my financial responsibility to provide the food/ formula for my Animal Shelter of Sullivan County (ASoSC) foster as well as any supplies essential to their care unless otherwise specified.
*
I understand this is a shelter animal that has come to us from less than ideal conditions and we cannot guarantee the health of the dog/puppy. I understand that ASoSC provides no guarantee as to the health of my foster animal and that my foster animal may have medical needs, socialization problems, and may not be housebroken, and possibly may not survive.
*
It is the FOSTERS responsibility to quarantine dog(s) or puppy(s) for 3 days minimum (unless told otherwise) before exposing them to household pets. Your pets will need to be healthy and up to date on vaccinations in order to foster with ASoSC.
*
I understand that I will need to bring my foster dog to ASoSC to receive any necessary immunizations and that failure to do so may result in me being terminated as an ASoSC foster.
*
If I decide to move at any time during the period when I am housing a foster animal, I agree to contact ASoSC prior to my move and provide ASoSC with my new contact information. I understand that ASoSC has the right to request the return of my foster animal based on my change of residence and agree thhat I will surrender my foster animal to ASoSC immediately upon request
*
If at any point I can no longer, or do not want to to, provide care and proper shelter for my foster animal, I agree to contact ASoSC and arrange for surrender and return of my foster animal back to ASoSC. I will NOT transfer possession or custody of my foster animal to any other person at any time without the express permission of ASoSC, except for temporary or short-term possession for the purpose of vet care, grooming, etc.
*
I agree that my foster will live inside my home. I understand there is some risk to my own pets, particularly if they are not current on all vaccinations, and if I do not separate my foster dog for the expected quarantine or decompression holding period recommended by ASoSC. I understand that ASoSC will not be held responsible for any expenses incurred to a foster's own animal(s) under any circumstances. ASoSC will not be held financial responsible for any personal property damage incurred while fostering.
*
I understand that if my foster animal dies that I am to contact ASoSC Foster Coordinator or management IMMEDIATELY and that I may be required to return the animal to the shelter for examination. I understand that ASoSC is the legal guardian of my foster pet. I understand that ASoSC has the final authority with regard to the animal's adoption, treatment, or care
*
I agree to a home check and will stay in contact with ASoSC Foster Coordinator or management if any changes arise.
By signing here, I hereby accept a position as a Foster Parent for the Animal Shelter of Sullivan County (ASoSC), upon the terms, conditions, and understandings described here and checked off above.
