ALL OF THE INFORMATION I HAVE PROVIDED ON THIS APPLICATION IS, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, TRUE AND COMPLETE. I UNDERSTAND THAT FALSIFLYING ANSWERS ON THE APPLICATION, OR AT ANY OTHER TIME DURING THE FOSTERING PROCESS, DISQUALIFIES ME FROM FOSTERING.

I understand and agree that it is the decision of the APOH Rescue Board to decide where each dog will be placed. I further understand that dogs may be moved to a different foster home if the board so decides. This decision will be made in the best interest of the dog. Remember the dog is in the care of APOH Rescue but being fostered.

I understand and agree with all information provided to me in my application process. If the animal I foster is on medication I will continue the medication as directed. I will not let the animal loose by itself. If during the time I am fostering the animal it requires medical attention I will contact the President or Vice President of the Rescue first unless it is an emergency. I understand the foster dog is the property of APOH Rescue and will not sell, trade or dispose of the dog. I understand the importance of my own animals being up to date on all standard vaccinations and hav provided APOH Rescue with a current shot record for each one if requested.

I understand and agree with all information provided to me in my application process. If the animal I foster is on medication I will continue the medication as directed. I will not let the animal out loose by itself. If during the time I am fostering the animal it requires medical attention I will contact the APOH RESCUE first unless it is an emergency. I understand the foster animal is the property of the APOH RESCUE and will not sell, trade or dispose of the animal. I understand the importance of my own animals being up-to-date on all standard vaccinations and have provided the APOH RESCUE with a current shot record for each one if requested.

I understand and agree that all vet appointments will be made and approved by the APOH RESCUE Board. No foster will make their own appointments or use a vet other than the one approved by APOH RESCUE’s Board. I further understand that it is my responsibility to transport my foster to and from vet appointments as needed.

I understand and agree that every dog that I foster must have a picture and a Bio on the dog submitted for the Rescue Me site within the first 7 days of intake. This does not mean the dog is ready to adopt but does let us know where each dog is and have a record of the dog's information for all fosters to see.

I understand and agree to bring my foster dog to the monthly adoption event each month. If I can not attend, I will contact another foster to bring my dog or drop my foster up and pick them up so they can be available to potential adopters. Failure to do this may result in termination of your foster status.

I understand that many of the adoptions will be done through private meet and greets. I will be informed when there is an approved applicant by the board. Meet and greets are usually done at the Puppy Pad (8160 Briese Lane, Pensacola).

I understand that anyone interested in adopting my foster dog or puppies (including myself) must go through the standard adoption process, and approval of candidates and placement of animals is up to the APOH RESCUE. (Of course we welcome your input as the caregiver).

I understand that although APOH RESCUE takes reasonable care to screen animals for foster care placement, it makes no guarantee relating to the animals' health, behavior or actions. I understand that I receive foster care animals at my own risk and can reject or return any animals for which APOH RESCUE has asked me to provide care. I indemnify and hold APOH RESCUE free and harmless from all liability arising out of any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, action, judgment of every kind and description which may occur to or be suffered by me, members of my household, my own animals or any third parties by reason of activities arising out of this agreement. I release APOH RESCUE from responsibility for any diseases that may be contracted by my resident animal(s) from the foster animal.
