DECLARATION

Please check these boxes to indicate your acceptance and understanding of the terms and conditions of being an Iron Dog Foster Carer: (required)

I confirm that I have provided Iron Dog Rescue with true and accurate information in my application.

I understand that the Iron Dog Rescue Foster Care Coordinator will review and approve my application at his/her discretion.

I understand that foster animal/s in my care will remain microchipped to Iron Dog Rescue for the duration of my commitment, but that ultimately I am responsible for their care, safety and well-being.

I hold a current form of photo identification and can present it for inspection if required.

I agree to Iron Dog Rescue conducting a virtual property check at my home if required.

I agree that I must have any foster dog DESEXED as instructed by Iron Dog Rescue without exception.If you refuse to desex the dog in your care the dog will be removed immediately.

Iron Dog Rescue will only euthanise an animal if an animal’s welfare is compromised and they are unable to be rehabilitated for either medical or behavioural reasons. Foster is often required for animals who are not yet ready for adoption for various reasons, but this may include where we are trying to understand if they are suitable and able to be safely rehomed. I understand and accept that a foster animal may result in a euthanasia decision, as per the organisation’s policies and procedures.

Your privacy is important to us. All personal information which you provide to us will held in full confidence.
