PUPPY & UNVACCINATED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

I further AGREE to the following statements about KEEPING PUPPIES, UNVACCINATED DOGS OR NEWLY

VACCINATED DOGS SAFE, and have READ THESE STATEMENTS CAREFULLY:

-Limit your puppy or unvaccinated dog's exposure to other dogs until he has had all four sets of puppy vaccinations. Vaccines are not effective immediately, so please allow 2 weeks past the vaccination date for protection. -Avoid places where your puppy or unvaccinated Dog could be exposed to parvovirus from unvaccinated dogs. Dog parks pet stores, play groups, and other public areas should be avoided until your dog or puppy is fully vaccinated. Until your puppy is better protected, have them potty on potty pads, and not placed on the ground, grass or dirt outside. When visiting the vet for wellness check-ups and vaccinations, carry your puppy in your arms rather than allowing them to walk outside and leave him on your lap while waiting in the lobby. Walking where other dogs have walked and gone to the bathroom will increase your puppy's risk of contracting disease. -Parvovirus is very difficult to kill and can live in the environment for years. If you suspect your house or yard has been infected, clean with a 1:32 dilution of bleach (1/2 cup bleach in a gallon of water Regular soaps and disinfectants DO NOT kill parvovirus. Areas that cannot be cleaned with bleach may remain contaminated. Remember, the virus can survive on a variety of objects, including food bowls, shoes, clothes, carpet and floors. -If your dog or puppy is vomiting, has diarrhea, is not eating or is lethargic, you must contact the rescue or our veterinarian right away. These are all symptoms of parvovirus. Remember, infected dogs may show only one symptom!

MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE PUPPY IS NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE IN YOUR YARD OR ON THE GRASS/DIRT WHERE IT CAN CONTRACT DEADLY VIRUSES

Deworming protocol:

-All dogs are given a dewormer at their first vet visit. With some of our dogs coming from neglectful environments sometimes it does take multiple rounds of deworming to fully kill all active worms. ALL defication MUST be picked up outside until the foster dog gets a fecal showing the dog is free of gut worms. Failure to do so will cause the foster dog to reinfected themselves with worms, infected current dogs within your home and contaminate your yard/grass.

I understand that providing false information may void this application and result in forfeiture of the fostered animal.
