Photos and Videos of Foster Animals *

99% of our adoptions come from online networking. Pictures are CRUCIAL to adoption. Can you provide weekly photos/videos and personality descriptions on the HTH Foster Group? Photos need to be in good lighting, clean background, no hands or other people/animals present, eyes open, ears forward. Sleeping shots are cute, but do not make good photos for seeking adoption.

Foster pets may require frequent trips to our shelter for medicine and health checks. Shelter animals are usually sick coming from animal control/streets.

yes

Required

Fosters need to be kept until adopted. The length of time required varies by pet and is often reflective of the quality of photos and work effort put into finding homes. The typical commitment is 13 weeks at minimum. It can take longer. Will this be an issue? Please explain. *

Fostering is a rewarding process, but it is not without its hardships. It is truly ALOT of hard work. Fostering requires you to have a drive to learn new things, be a problem solver and a team player. You must be open to potential loss. Young puppies and kittens sometimes pass away. Excellent communication, asking questions and posting weekly pictures are highly important for success. Fosters may scratch or bite you, they may soil in inappropriate places, steal your food, or become sick and require you to give them medication. You need to be prepared for anything, happy or sad. This will be work, but for the greatest good and best rewards in the end. Saving a life is priceless. *

I understand.

Nevermind, this is too much for me.

Required

Please check that you have read and agree to each statement below. *

Keeping Pets indoors.

It is recommended to keep foster pets isolated from personal pets. HTH will not be responsible for illnesses or injurie incurred by mixing of personal pets with foster pets.

Notify HTH director Ashley Long (229-237-0121) of any medical needs immediately. email: ashleylong@hthhs.org

Feline adoption fees are $100 for kittens,$85 adults. Canine adults are $200, puppies $250. Our adoption process and forms are found at www.hthhs.or/adoptionprocess

Foster animals are the property of HTH. We must approve all adoptions. Fosters pay the same adoption fees as any other adopter as these cover medical expenses for the organization and help us continue saving lives.

Fostering for another organization or taking in strays is prohibited. This puts HTH cats at risk. HTH will not be responsible for medical care of pets in breech of this agreement. HTH is not licensed to take in strays.

Download the foster handbook from www.hthhs.org/foster

Join HTH Foster Group on Facebook. You will post photos here weekly and can ask questions/advice.

Stay in good communication and post pictures/updates weekly in the foster group.

Animal names must be approved through the foster group before they can be used. This is because we have alot of animals and we do not want repeated name or multiple names for the same animal.

Keep pets until adoption. Send home clean and healthy.

Sign foster agreement and complete home visit. This is required by the Georgia Department of Agriculture 2 times a year.
