Thank you for volunteering with RRR of South La. In order to protect our organization and our rescued animals, we ask that you sign this

Although every attempt will be made to ensure your safety, animals (particularly rescued animals) are by their nature unpredictable in behavior. Accordingly you, as a volunteer agree to the following conditions:

1. I hereby agree to hold RRR of South La., its officers, directors, employees, and volunteers, as well as any public adoption location/business forever harmless for any injury whatsoever that I may suffer as a result of my volunteer activities with RRR of South La. This includes, but is not limited to, dog bites, scratches, communicable illnesses, or pests contracted from any animal.
2. I agree to hold RRR of South La., its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, and any public adoption location/business, forever harmless for any and all personal injuries sustained on the premises of ANY outdoor/indoor, public adoption event, regardless of cause or negligence on the part of RRR of South La. its officers or the owner of any property while volunteering for RRR of South La.
3. I agree to hold RRR of South La., its officers, directors, employees, and volunteers forever harmless for any and all damage to any personal property by any fosters in my care.
4. I agree that any photographs or likenesses taken during any RRR of South La. event or meant for RRR of South La. promotional purposes are property of RRR of South La. and give permission to use said photographs as deemed necessary for fundraising and promotions.
5. I am aware that as a volunteer of RRR of South La. I am acting as a representative of the organization and agree to act responsibly at all times by maintaining a professional demeanor and protecting the organization's rescued animals from any harm by practicing common sense while they are in my possession.
6. I agree that any animal rescued by RRR of South La. is owned solely by and is the property of RRR of South La., and as a volunteer of this organization, I will not withhold, sell, or give away any animal entrusted to me by the organization.
7. I will not rescue any animal as a stray or a shelter in the name of RRR of South La. without prior authorization from a director, officer, or employee of the organization.
8. I understand that this is not a “foster to adopt” program. Fostering is intended to provide temporary care to an animal. RRR works hard to make sure each animal is adopted into the most compatible home and acknowledges that sometimes it is their foster home. The organization has instilled a 3 fosters in 3 fosters out rule. Noting the time and effort it takes to train and set up a new foster family.
9. I understand that after my initial commitment I may apply to adopt my 4th foster should they be a “match” for my home/family. If I am interested in adopting my foster animal, I will contact the volunteer coordinator as soon as possible since foster parents do not have the first right to adopt. If the animal does not have any interested adopters at the time the foster expresses interest in adopting, I may submit an adoption application to potentially adopt the animal.
