What does a foster parent do?
I agree to receive and care for the foster pet in my home until the time the animal is adopted. I will be responsible for feedings, daily hygiene and providing a safe and clean environment; making sure it gets proper exercise and mental stimulation (that includes playtime); making sure the pet follows the vaccination schedule given by the rescue; transporting your foster pet to its veterinarian appointments if necessary; and lastly to give lots of love and affection to an animal who needs it the most.
Mannered Mutts Rescue will provide food and vet care for foster pets which will either be picked up or dropped off at a determined time and date by a Mannered Mutts Rescue representative.
I will not sell or give away any animal in my care to a research facility, pet shop, dog broker/breeder or puppy mill, or to any other person or business without written permission from Mannered Mutts Rescue. In the event that I am no longer a member of Mannered Mutts Rescue or am unable to care for the pet any longer, I agree to immediately return any foster animal(s) in my care at that time, as well as all records and property belonging to Mannered Mutts Rescue. The length of time a pet is in foster care is at the sole discretion of the rescue and pets can be required to be returned at any time. I agree to adhere to any and all foster guidelines.
I have completed this application to the best of my ability and knowledge. I have made no misstatements or misrepresentations.
Upon receipt and review of your completed application a member of Mannered Mutts Rescue will contact you to set up a meeting to go over the foster program policies. We will also contact your vet if you have other pets to ensure they are up to date with vetting.
Being a foster parent to a rescue pet is a demanding, yet gratifying job. Thank you for taking the time to fill out this application.
