Animals & Us Foster & Adoption Form

Thanks for your interest in fostering or adopting 💛

Our process is quick, simple, and commitment free (until you take a dog home!)

📝 This form takes just a couple of minutes and helps us understand you, your home & lifestyle and match you with the most paw-fect dogs. Filling it in early means we can move faster and offer more personalised meet & greets.

What happens next?
• You may be invited for a short call or we can chat in person at one of our events
• Once pre-approved, you’re eligible to take a dog home
• Our team supports you every step of the way — before, during and after foster or adoption

🐶 Please note: Most of our dogs are lovely medium-sized mixed breeds.

Attending our adoption & foster event this weekend?
Filling the form in advance is recommended (it makes everything smoother), but not required. You’re always welcome to attend, even if you haven’t had a call yet.

✨ Ready to begin? Fill the form and let’s find you some matches!

Is there a specific Animals & Us dog(s) that you have seen or met that you are interested in fostering or adopting? Otherwise please leave blank and we will make some recommendations based on the information you have provided
If looking to foster, how long can you commit to fostering for? Please note our standard foster period is 4 weeks
Are there any personality traits or attributes in your new pet that are particularly important to you (e.g. cat friendly, can be left alone for some time, gets along with other dogs, high energy and likes to go for runs etc). Please note we DO NOT often have small dogs available - most our dogs are medium sized mixed breeds (that do absolutely great in apartments!)

Adoption & Foster Disclosure

When you take a dog home, you agree to the below terms. If you are not able to agree to these terms, unfortunately we are unable to place a dog with you - these are to keep our dogs and our families safe
I, the undersigned, agree to the following terms and conditions - please read these terms carefully and ensure you agree to them before completing your application:
- I understand that welcoming a new dog into the home is a big commitment and requires time and patience and that this is especially true for young puppies - it is something I have thought through carefully and I have prepared for, including understanding relevant training techniques
- I understand that I will commit to a mutually agreed period of foster or a 4 week trial adoption. If for any reason I am unable to follow through with this committment (with the exception of severe or extenuating circumstances), I understand that I need to give a minimum notice of 14 days to return the dog to the rescuer, in order for a solution to be found - we are a high volume rescue and cannot accommodate immediate returns
  - I understand that if I do not adhere to the 14 day notice, I will be liable to sponsor two weeks in boarding for the dog at a cost of 600 AED - this option is not possible for young puppies or dogs that are not fully vaccinated
- I agree that the animal is being adopted / fostered by myself and will not be sold, adopted, or given to another party
- I agree that the animal will not be outdoors without supervision
- I agree when taking my dog outdoors, s/he will be on a secure harness & leash and where advised, a second leash attached to the collar (no extendable leashes, no slip leashes). I will ensure that I take all measures to keep the dog safe, understanding that the dog may be fearful or easily spooked on walks
  - I understand that if I do not adhere to this and the dog is lost due to negligence / not following these instructions, the dog will be removed from the home
- I agree that this dog is to be a companion animal, not a guard dog. The dog will live inside my home as a family pet
- I agree to care for the animal in a humane manner. This includes supplying adequate food, water, shelter, attention, and medical care.
  - I agree that I will follow the feeding guidelines provided by the rescuer and will not change their food during the foster / trial adoption period without consulting the team first
  - I understand that during the foster period or trial adoption period (first 4 weeks) vet bills are covered by Animals & Us but the team MUST be notified as soon as possible and that bills will only be covered at our vet partner, Petzone Vet Clinic (SZR)
- I understand and agree that the rescuer can make no guarantees about the animal's temperament and is not responsible for future damages or injuries caused by the animal
- I give the rescuer permission to call or visit my home, with prior arrangement, to assure that the animal is being properly treated and cared for
- The rescuer will have the right to remove a puppy/dog if they feel the environment is considered to be unsafe, unloving or unhealthy for the puppy/dog
- If the dog is lost or dies, the person is obliged to inform the rescuer as soon as possible
- I agree to keep the rescuer informed of my current home address and phone number
- I agree that all statements I have made on this form are true
