My animals are currently vaccinated and should they or a family member happen to become ill, (allergies, etc.) as a result of my foster dog, I hereby expressly agree that I (we) will not hold Mustard Seed Farm Animal Sanctuary financially or otherwise legally responsible. Although I also acknowledge that I also understand that while Mustard Seed Farm Animal Sanctuary takes every precaution to not place aggressive dogs in foster homes, that there is the risk that a rescue dog could inflict a bite or scratch to myself or family members. I understand that if I witness any aggressive or other dangerous behavior from my foster animal (or from any members of my own family or pets toward the foster pet) that I will immediately notify Mustard Seed Farm Animal Sanctuary Foster Coordinator to have the pet removed from the home. I agree that I will not hold Mustard Seed Farm Animal Sanctuary financially or otherwise legally responsible for any injuries that might occur from fostering a dog. I release Mustard Seed Farm Animal Sanctuary from any and all liability of damage, injury, illness to my family, pets, property or myself while I am volunteering as a foster parent.
