    By sending and signing this electronically, I acknowledge that I have completely read this application and comprehend it fully. I understand that applying does not ensure approval and that untruthful answers or failure to comply with the requirements of this application can result in the forfeiture of any Happy Tails Canine Rescue animal fostered by me. I certify that the above information is correct, and I understand that the information will be verified. I understand that by submitting this form electronically, I agree to release and covenant to hold harmless Happy Tails Canine Rescue and it's members from any claims, damages, costs, injuries or actions incurred because of the care or actions of the foster dog. I accept full responsibility for the dog(s) actions at all times, and release Happy Tails Canine Rescue from any liabilities or damages that may be incurred because of fostering such dog(s). I agree to have Happy Tails Canine Rescue complete reference call checks and conduct a home visit inspection to be able to approve my foster application. I understand that Happy Tails Canine Rescue is the rightful owner of my foster pet unless I have an approved adoption application and I have paid the adoption fee.

    I agree to foster the dog until adoption, write a bio for my foster pet within a week of fostering them for the Petfinder account, send two high quality photos and two videos a week to the rescue, join the foster family group chat, participate in at least one rescue event per month, and post my dog on social media and tag the rescue. I understand that a big part of being a foster is advertising and socializing my foster pet, and I am willing to be an active participant in the rescue. 

    If I plan a trip, I will notify the rescue at least a month in advance of my trip. It is my responsibility to take the dog with me, secure a vacation foster (who needs to be approved by the rescue), OR I will make accomodations for my foster dog(s) just as if they were one of my pets at no expense to the rescue.

  • Adoption contract:

    I understand a dog is a lifelong commitment and a valued member of the family. I commit to giving the dog the best possible life and embracing him or her as part of my family. The dog will live inside with me and my family and will never be confined, tethered, or tied up. I will give the dog the love, medical attention, and care it needs and deserves. The dog will remain on flea and tick and heartworm prevention monthly and receive its annual vaccinations and heartworm check yearly.  I will always keep my dog’s best interest at heart. If I am at any point unable or unwilling to properly care for the needs of the pet I adopted from Happy Tails Canine Rescue, or unable to abide by this contract, I will contact Happy Tails Canine Rescue.

    I understand that by submitting this form electronically, I agree to release and covenant to hold harmless Happy Tails Canine Rescue and it's members from any claims, damages, costs, injuries or actions incurred because of the care or actions of the dog I adopted from them. I accept full responsibility for the dog's actions at all times, and release Happy Tails Canine Rescue from any liabilities or damages that may be incurred because of the dog I adopted from them. 

    It takes a dog 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn your routine, and 3 months for their personality to come out and adjust to their new home. Therefore, we require our adopters to give their new family member AT LEAST 3 weeks before considering returning the dog to Happy Tails Canine Rescue. 

    ***note, we do not offer reverse transport. If you have adopted a dog from the rescue and need to surrender the dog back to us, it is your responsilibity to arrange transport of the dog back to the rescue.
