Dog Fostering Application - The Sanctuary at Haafsville

In an effort to assure a more satisfactory fostering experience, we ask your cooperation in the completion of this application. Just as there are guidelines for the adoption of a child, so are there guidelines for the placement of animals. Although The Sanctuary at Haafsville eagerly seeks the prompt placement of its animal residents, experience has shown that some situations are not consistent with the welfare of the animal. An unsatisfactory placement can result in an unpleasant experience for your family and many times can traumatize the pet. We reserve the right to refuse any placement we consider unsatisfactory. This is not a reflection on you personally, but simply that a particular pet may not do well in your situation. We feel our experience in this area must be our guide to a successful placement.

In order to be considered as a foster, you must first:

Be at least 18 years old
Have a valid Photo I.D. showing your current address
Have notarized consent from your Landlord/Homeowner if you rent

Please understand that The Sanctuary at Haafsville has the right to verify all information on this application, including a home visit, personal reference, and vet check.
