Foster Contract
By checking each box below, you agree to each provision described therein
*
I understand that any animal(s) I foster is/are property of Cabot Animal Support Services (CASS) and I agree to turn it/them over to CASS immediately upon request.
I commit to fostering Foster until Adoption pets for at least two weeks to allow time for decompression
I understand that fosters can only be watched by other approved fosters. If I need to go out of town, I will post on the Facebook page looking for a foster sitter at least one week ahead of time. If one is not found, I will contact the foster team at foster@cabotar.gov.
I will not hand off a foster to a potential adopter or let them take a foster on a trail basis
I will not let a foster off leash outside of my home or fenced in yard
I will actively participate in marketing each foster and be responsive and courteous towards each potential adopter pursuant to the adoption process protocol. In addition, I will provide marketing information to our foster team through pictures and videos.
I will respond to adoption inquiries within 24 hours and I will set up meet and greets with potential adopters within 5 days of their inquiry.
I confirm that I am willingly offering to foster and that I do not expect any goods or services in return, including an adoption fee reduction or waiver should I decide to adopt my foster pet
I understand the possibility of my children or others being bitten, scratched, or contracting disease does exist. I agree to be responsible for my children and anyone else handling any animal(s) fostered by me in a safe and hygienic manner, and I will not hold CASS responsible for any injuries that may result from my failure to do so.
I agree to notify a CASS representative immediately of any bites that break the skin that occur to any person or animal while any foster animal is in my care.
I will immediately report any behavioral issue to the foster team at foster@cabotar.gov
I will immediately notify the foster on call at (501)259-3548 if my foster gets loose or is lost
I agree that cats and kittens will never venture outside and that dogs and puppies will not be left outside unsupervised.
I understand that CASS is not responsible for any injury or damage that a foster may cause me or my property
I will not take a foster unless my resident animals are fully vaccinated
I understand that although any pet I foster has been/will be medically examined and vaccinated, it is possible they may still be carrying a disease from a previous encounter or may have an underlying medical issue not initially identified on intake
I understand that CASS has extensive expertise in treating shelter populations and in the kind of contagious diseases that affect shelter populations. I will respect and defer to the medical team's decisions regarding the care of a foster.
I agree to bring any animal(s) fostered by me to the shelter for exams, vaccinations, weight checks, or other reasons deemed necessary by CASS at a mutually agreed upon date and/or time.
I will notify the foster team if my foster shows any signs of minor illness or injury at foster@cabotar.gov
I will notify the foster team immediately if a foster animial is hsowing any sign of serious illness or injury by calling (501)843-2021 during the hours of 8-11, 12-5 M-F or calling (501)259-3548 outside of those office hours.
I understand that CASS provides all medical care for our animals. I will not take a foster to the vet unless specifically told to do so.
By signing below, I am agreeing to all of the expectations that the foster team has set forth. I understand that I am still responsible for carefully reading the dog foster or cat foster handbook in Unit 1 of the foster Facebook page and any other material that the foster team provides to me and abiding by the policies set forth in these materials.
