A contract between the owners of the dog, Boxer Angels
Rescue, known herein as "rescuer" or "rescue," and the caretakers of any BAR
rescue dog,
known herein as "foster home" or "foster family."
The foster family fully
understands that they are to act as a foster home for one or more of the
rescue's dogs, referred herein as "the foster dog(s)."
The following conditions
apply to fostering of rescue's dogs:
1. The foster dog will remain the property of Boxer Angels
Rescue.
2. The foster dog will not be kept outdoors without supervision.
3. The foster dog will be fed, watered and exercised
appropriately. There will be no unsupervised, off-lead time; the foster dog may
be turned out in
a
fenced-in yard, on a cable run (under supervision ONLY), or
hand-walked.
4. No electronic collars are to be used at any time, except
with prior approval.
5. The Rescue requires that the foster family have a crate available.
6. The foster family accepts responsibility for any and all
events that occur in connection with the fostering of a rescue animal and
releases BAR from
any liability.
7. The foster home will not be compensated for expenses
incurred in the normal daily care of the foster dog (such as: leashes, collars,
bowls, chewing
expenses (furniture, etc.) or any other property the dog may
destroy), other than for dry dog food.
8. If emergency care is needed,
the foster family MUST contact
the Finance Director , Gary Berg
(liboxerboy@optonline.net)

Phone: 516-238-4730,
Fax: 901 284-6944. There are additional emergency phone contacts
on the Foster Home Emergency Contacts List at:
http://www.boxerangelsrescue.com/FosterCentral/Foster%20Home%20emergency_contact.htm
The foster family will be held responsible for
unapproved expenditures. APPROVED Veterinary care will be provided by
rescue.
This includes routine care such as vaccinations, heartworm testing,
fecal exams, altering, and any prescription medications necessary for the dog.
9. All questions or problems are to be directed to rescue officers.
10. If there is a need to remove the foster dog from the
foster home, the foster dog is to be given directly to a designated BAR rescue
representative.
11. The foster family will evaluate the animal and prepare the required
evaluation form.
12. Any property provided to the foster family expressly
for the use for fostering must be returned to BAR upon termination of this
contract.
This includes, but is not limited to crates, BAR tags, vaccines,
digital cameras, leashes, collars, etc.
13. Should the foster family be interested in
adopting a dog, they must contact the Director of Adoptions, Gail DeGraff at:
Gail@degraffbloom.com,
prior to fostering and inform her of their
interest in adoption. This does not necessarily indicate a positive outcome--
the
decision to allow the foster family to adopt the dog is made by the BAR
Directors on a case-by-case basis, as the adoption of foster dogs by
their
foster families is typically discouraged.
14. Those foster families participating in the
Foster-to-Adopt Program will have 2 weeks to decide if they would like to
adopt their foster.
If they should decide NOT to adopt, the foster family
agrees to continue fostering the dog until it is adopted to another home.
15. The foster family agrees to release the dog into the
care of the screened and approved adoptive family upon BAR’S direction. The
foster dog
will be adopted to its permanent home only under the supervision of
the Rescue to a family pre-approved by Rescue.
16. The foster family may contact the adoptive family
post-adoption to inquire about the animal; however, foster families are to
respect the privacy
of the adoptive families . Excessive contact with potential
and actual adoptive families is not desirable.
17. All donations connected with the adoption of the foster dog will be sent directly to rescue.
18. I have read and understand the Foster Guidelines at http://www.boxerangelsrescue.com/FosterCentral/Foster%20Guidlines.htm
By signing this form the foster family acknowledges
having read and understands all of the above and agrees to release and indemnify
Boxer Angels Rescue from any and all claims, known and unknown, now or
hereafter, arising in connection with the animal.
