ATTENTION: Completion of this agreement does NOT guarantee that you will be approved for the adoption with Wags and Wiggles Dog Rescue. We are dedicated to placing our dogs in the best homes possible. Therefore, we may decide to take more than one pre-approved adopter on any of our animals and will contact references that you have provided to ensure that we make the best decision for both the potential adopting individual/family and pet. We appreciate your patience while we make our decision. After all . . .this decision will be one that will last for the lifetime of your pet!
Foster Agreement
AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 1) The animal will receive proper food and water, shelter, and loving humane treatment by myself and other family members, and will not be left alone for extended periods of time (more than an average work day). 2) YOUR PERSONAL PET HAS TO BE KEPT UP TO DATE ON VACCINES AND HEARTWORM PREVENTION AT ALL TIMES! WWDR provides all preventions and vetting for our fosters dogs. We also provide a collar, tags, crate, food, and treats. 3) The animal is to be kept indoors and not allowed to run unsupervised in an outdoor environment, tied up, or chained at any time. 4) I understand that Wags and Wiggles Dog Rescue has little knowledge of the animal, including its medical condition/background and disposition of the animal. Joan Locher, Wendy McMahon and Lally Peebles - WWDR - make no warranties with regard to the health of the animal and disclaims any liability for the animal’s medical condition, sickness or disease. 5) The animal will not be subject to harassment by myself or other persons who live or visit my home and will be protected from other animals in my care. Additionally, the animal will not be used for purposes of experimentation or for breeding. By any violation of this contract WWDR is allowed to claim the animal and the animal has to be returned into the custody of a representative of Wags and Wiggles Dog Rescue. 6) I understand that a WWDR representative may inspect my home and the animal, upon their request and I’m not allowed to re home the animal to a third party without the approval of WWDR. The new pet owner is not supposed to re-home the adopted pet to a third party without consulting a WWDR representative and get the agreement that the third party meets all requirements. A new adoption contract has to be signed but the re-homing fee will be waived. 7) A WWDR representative has the right to get regular updated information on the pet’s health and do house visits and has the right to take custody of the pet if a stable home environment and medical care isn’t deemed appropriate. 8) I release Wags and Wiggles Dog Rescue, its Board of Directors, volunteers, foster homes and representatives, and the veterinarian treating the animal at the request of WWDR, from any and all claims and actions, whether for property damage caused by the animal(s) in foster home or trial to adopt, or adopted. WWDR is released from any personal injury to me, family members and/or friends and other animals in my care (personal pets or livestock) from biting, scratching, transmission of disease, and/or any other matter attributable to said animal(s). 9) Our rescue will take in the pet again at any time in case the foster’s situation changes or the pet is not the right fit. 10) I understand that in case I can’t care for the pet anymore and have a third party interested to foster the animal, it has to be brought to the attention of WWDR and the third party has to be approved by the rescue. Otherwise the animal has to return back to WWDR. 11) WWDR does not allow invisible or electric fencing as a means to contain our dogs in the yard. Many other types of fencing are allowed which will be discussed with WWDR. I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE ABOVE TERMS. IF, AT ANY TIME, I AM UNABLE TO FOSTER THE ANIMAL ACCORDING TO THE CONDITIONS STATED ABOVE, I WILL ALLOW WWDR REPRESENTATIVE TO RESUME OWNERSHIP OF THE ANIMAL OR FIND AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF I KNOWINGLY FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE TERMS, OR IN ANY WAY PUT THE ANIMAL IN A SITUATION WHICH ENDANGERS THEIR HEALTH, WAGS AND WIGGLES DOG RESCUE MAY TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION, INCLUDING TAKING THE PET FROM MY POSSESSION AND/OR TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ME.
