Not sure Yes No

Unless otherwise discussed, Saving Grace asks that our foster parents keep their foster animals until we find them a forever home (except in cases of emergency). We understand that some fosters take a little longer to get adopted. For example, a puppy (Short -Term) gets adopted rather quickly compared to senior or sick/injured dog (Long-Term). Would you consider yourself a Short-Term foster or a Long-Term foster?

Long-Term Short-Term It doesn't matter

If the foster does not think the animal is a good match for their home, they agree to keep the animal in their care while Saving Grace finds new placement for the animal. Are you comfortable with these expectations?

Yes No

As an Animal Foster Volunteer, you will be responsible for providing adequate food and fresh water, socialization, attention, affection, and a close eye on the animal's health. If we have donated food or if providing food yourself will create a hardship for you, we will be happy to provide food or provide reimbursement. For reimbursement, Animal Foster Volunteer must seek approval before purchase and save then submit receipts. Do you understand these requirements?

Yes No

Are the pets in your home spayed/neutered?

Not Sure No Yes I have no animals

Some animals will require special care. Please check the boxes of the level of care you are comfortable providing.

Bottle feeding (infant pets that require around-the-clock feeding)

Syringe feeding (older pets that are sick and not eating on their own, 3-5 times per day)

Giving subcutaneous fluids (applying needle under skin and administering fluids for dehydrated pets)

Accompanying pet to rescue vet visits

Saving Grace always does home visits for their foster parents to ensure it is a safe environment for the pet. This will be done before you get your foster pet, or at the time of receiving your pet. Do you agree to this home visit?

Yes, I agree

Be mindful not all dogs are friendly and an altercation can ensue. Be sure children do not walk the foster where a leash can be dropped. Walking the foster without a leash is not permitted. Do not let out off of leash if your yard is not fenced in. Do not leave outside alone, tied up, or unsupervised. We do not approve of doggie doors. There are bufo toads and other harmful creatures and things that can be dangerous. You also need to make sure the foster cannot dig under the fence or get out of the yard somehow.

Yes, I agree

FOSTER AGREEMENT

Saving Grace will be allowed to reasonably inspect the premises in which the animal(s) will be maintained or are maintained, from time to time, for the purpose of determining the suitability of those premises for the care and maintenance of the animal(s). Please initial

If you decide to become a Foster for Saving Grace and Her Furry Friends:

You agree to surrender the foster animal(s) to Saving Grace when a permanent adoptive home is found. While foster parents' input is valued and solicited regarding prospective homes, Saving Grace will ultimately approve or disapprove all prospective adopters. If a friend or acquaintance is interested in adopting your foster animal, they are required to follow the standard adoption approval process (application, home visit, etc) and pay the standard adoption fee

Yes, I agree

Unless otherwise discussed, Saving Grace asks that our foster parents keep their foster animals until we find them a forever home (except in cases of emergency). Depending on the adoptability of the animal, we expect this to take a few weeks to a few months. If the foster does not think the animal is a good match for their home, they agree to keep the animal in their care while Saving Grace finds new placement for the animal. Are you comfortable with these expectations?

Yes, I agree

As an Animal Foster Volunteer, at my own expense, I agree to provide proper and sufficient food and water, shelter, socialization and kind treatment. I agree to feed proper and sufficient food and water, bathe/groom, exercise, and socialize the foster animal(s) as appropriate. I agree to never hit, kick or abuse the animal in any way. I understand that I shall not leave the animal(s) unsupervised outside, and shall comply with all city, state and federal laws relating to animals. I also understand that I shall provide the above-described services without monetary compensation from Saving Grace

Yes, I agree

Yes, I agree

Should your foster animal display any signs of injury (regardless of how minor it is perceived to be) or illness (regular coughing or sneezing, diarrhea, vomiting), we ask that you notify Saving Grace immediately so we can determine if the animal needs medical care. Do you agree?

Yes, I agree

Foster agrees and understands that if any animal in their care requires emergency vet visits, due to their negligence, the rescue will hold the foster caretaker responsible for all fees incurred if it is determined by the board the negligence was caused by the foster caretaker. Do you agree?

Yes, I agree

I agree to contact Saving Grace immediately, and provide transportation at any time, should veterinary medical care be needed for the animal(s). Saving Grace works with veterinarians that are familiar with shelter/rescue medicine. If the foster animal needs medical care of any kind, I have the option to contact Saving Grace immediately and to follow their instructions. Foster animals may go to a foster parent’s personal vet at the cost of the foster parent. Saving Grace cannot be responsible for vet costs at unapproved veterinarians.
