Do you understand that Herd About Rescue does NOT do "trial" fostering. We try very hard to ensure that all dogs sent to your family are a good match. If a dog is wildly unsuitable, we will move them to a new foster home as soon as we reasonably can, but minor issues are expected to be worked on in the foster home.
Do you understand and agree that Herd About Rescue makes NO warranties as to the temperament, behaviours, habits or background of any dog placed into your home. All information Herd About Rescue receives about any given dog is shared with you but we cannot attest to the accuracy of any information given to us by another party. The decision to foster any dog at any time is made fully by your own judgement.
