*	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.

*	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.
