Foster Application

We appreciate the invaluable service that foster parents provide. We want to make the most informed decision regarding which animals to place in your care. Completing this application is the best way to assure a positive experience for both you and the animals. Please note, you must 21 to foster.

If the location I reside in requires a pet deposit, I will pay what is needed to safely and legally home my foster pet (mark N/A if not applicable).

I understand SNIPSA would like foster animals to learn basic training such as potty training, socialization, etc while in my care.

I understand my role as a foster of SNIPSA– I am volunteering my time. I will not receive pay, compensations, or benefits for fostering a SNIPSA animal.

I understand I will receive all medical care, food and items to care for my foster from SNIPSA. Anything I pay for out of pocket will not be reimbursed, unless I have prior approval from SNIPSA staff.

I understand SNIPSA has full ownership of the SNIPSA animals and this ownership does not transfer to foster parents.

I understand I will be required to surrender the pet when SNIPSA deems it necessary.

I understand SNIPSA has sole discretion and final say in adoption of foster pet.

I will ensure my foster pet makes all scheduled appointments and will attend, at a minimum, one adoption event a month.

If I choose not to foster, I will give SNIPSA one week notice to find placement for my current foster animal.

I will provide an update for my foster pet once a week. If a significant change in health occurs, I will notify SNIPSA immediately.

I understand the pets SNIPSA takes in are rescues and may fall ill, which in rare cases, may result in humane euthanasia. I also understand, should a SNIPSA foster die in my care, I will notify SNIPSA immediately.

I understand once my foster pet is adopted, I have three (3) days to return any contracts, adoption fees, and collars/ ID tags to SNIPSA.

I agree to release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless SNIPSA, including its agents and employees, for any and all personal injuries, damages to property, or injuries to pets caused by foster animals

I recognize that in handling foster animals there exists a risk of injury, including physical harm caused by the foster animal. On behalf of myself, heirs, personal representatives, and executors, I release, discharge, indemnify, and hold harmless SNIPSA, its agents, volunteers and employees from any and all claims, causes of action or demands, or any nature of cause connected with my foster care agreement.
