By applying to foster in partnership with Day of the Dogs, I agree to the following:
Pet's Health and Disposition
Day of the Dogs cannot guarantee the health or disposition of any foster animal. We do not have past records for these animals and there are some risks associated with taking in foster animals. Family pets must be current on all shots and foster pets will be kept separate from family pets, for a minimum of 7 days for the protection of all animals.
I agree to be fully responsible for the safety and well being of the foster pet. I will provide a safe, loving, humane environment with adequate food, water, and shelter at all times. I will not declaw, crop ears, or crop the tail of a fostered pet. I will adhere to all state and local animal laws and all foster animals will wear a collar with identification. I will promptly notify Day of the Dogs of any signs of illness, behavioral issues, or concerns, an inability to continue to foster, if the pet becomes lost, and/or if the pet bites someone.
Veterinary Services
Day of the Dogs covers all approved veterinary services at our various partner vet clinics. This includes health certificates, vaccines, microchips, spay/neuter surgery, and treatment for heartworm disease or other illnesses. While you are welcome to use your preferred vet for treatment at your cost, we are not able to reimburse any medical expenses outside of our already established partner clinics.
Transfer of Animals
Animals cannot be transferred to the custody of another person, shelter, humane society, SPCA, or other entity without prior consent and permission of Day of the Dogs. I agree to not place this pet in another home without the written or verbal authorization from DOTD, whether it be temporary or permanent.
Return of Animals
All the pets in the Day of the Dogs foster program are the property of Day of the Dogs and must be returned within 24 hours of request. I agree that I am fostering this pet for Day of the Dogs and that I do not have any right of ownership over my foster animal. I further agree that Day of the Dog's rights in and to my foster pet are superior to mine. I agree to provide the Authorized Representative, or his/her designate access to my home and property to check on my foster pet, at any time while I am in possession of my foster pet.
Personal or Property Damage and/or Injury
I agree that accidental animal bites or other injuries to humans and other animals do occur, and agree to hold harmless and indemnify, and protect Day of the Dogs from any claim or suit filed by someone as a result of such incident.In addition, Day of the Dogs will not be responsible if an animal should damage or destroy property belonging to the foster, foster's household, or others, or if the animal shall transfer any disease, internal or external parasites to other animals and people in the foster's household.
I understand that if I am approved for fostering, this declaration represents a legal contract between me as the foster home caregiver and Day of the Dogs. I understand that if I am approved to foster an animal, I must abide by this agreement and that this agreement applies to any and all animals that I foster with Day of the Dogs.
