Foster Care Contract
By signing this contract, I understand and agree to the following, as long as I volunteer as a foster parent with the Animal Defense League of Texas: PLEASE INITIAL WITHIN THE TEXT FIELDS BELOW
I will be responsible for the daily care and feeding of the foster animal(s).*
I understand my foster pet is to remain indoors only for the safety and health of the pet due to age and vaccination status. *Exception made for nursing mom canines.*
For the safety and wellness of all foster animals, I understand that ADL does not allow different litters of kittens or puppies to be intermingled. If fostering multiple litters at the same time, it is my responsibility to keep them completely separate from each other.*
If any foster animal shows sign of illness or injury, it is my responsibility to contact based on severity and Level of Emergency protocol chart, and/or bring the animal into the Animal Defense League during working hours. If illness/injury occurs after hours, it is my responsibility to notify the Foster Coordinator who, in conjunction with the shelter veterinarian, will determine what treatment is needed. The Animal Defense League will not be responsible for veterinary charges incurred at other veterinary hospitals unless there was prior approval from authorized management staff.*
I understand that if medications are prescribed by the shelter veterinarian, they must be picked up within 24-36 hours of being contacted by ADL Hospital Staff. If I do not adhere to this rule, I understand that my foster status may be re-evaluated.*
I understand that my own pets could be exposed to conditions/illness that have/or have not been diagnosed.*
I understand that ADL highly encourages a 10-14 day quarantine period for foster animals from any household pets.*
If I, a family member, or one of my personal animals is bitten by a foster animal, I understand that it is my responsibility to contact the Foster Coordinator immediately to report the bite. I also understand that there is a report process and quarantine process that the Animal Defense League is obligated to adhere to that I am obligated to abide by as well. I understand that if I seek medical attention due to the bite, Animal Defense League does not cover any medical cost.*
I understand that foster animals are temporarily in my care and belong exclusively to the Animal Defense League. I understand that I cannot find a home for the animal or give the animal away. If I find someone interested in adopting, I can give the possible adopter information to the foster coordinator so they can be informed on the adoption process. I understand that when the animal(s) are ready for adoption, I will give the foster animal(s) back to the Animal Defense League*
I understand that I am required to foster for the entire time commitment agreed upon, unless there are unforeseen circumstances that interfere, in which case I will contact the ADL foster department in a timely manner.*
I understand that I am required to transport all foster animals to bi-weekly foster appointments. If I am unable to attend said appointment, I will notify the foster coordinators in a timely manner. I understand that if I do not adhere to this obligation, my foster status may be re-evaluated.*
I understand that all supplies issued by The Animal Defense League of Texas must be returned upon final return of foster pets or when no longer in use.*
I understand that all adoption procedures are handled through the adoption center at the Animal Defense League and the hospital has no control over adoption approvals or denials.*
I understand that the foster animals are legally viewed as property and if they do not return, it can be viewed as theft. If I do give the animal(s) away or do not return them I will be fined $100.00 per animal and will also be responsible for paying ALL medical expenses that the animal(s) has obtained since intake at the Animal Defense League.*
I understand that if I do not return the animals and do not pay the amount that is owed in the time allotted that Animal Defense League will turn this amount and my information over to their attorney and to a collection agency.*
I understand that I am expected to treat all Animal Defense League staff members, volunteers and representatives with kindness and respect at all times. I understand that verbal or physical harassment or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and could result in termination of foster activity for the organization.*
