Please read the following carefully
B.A.R.K. will provide food, litter, crates, bedding, toys and other items as needed for the animal while it is in your care at home. The foster parent is responsible for transporting the foster animals for vet appointments as required, adoption events and to meet potential adopters. Animals MUST be secured in your vehicle to prevent injury or harm.
You will be expected to keep the foster animal safe and secure; return it to B.A.R.K. when requested to do so; not promise the animal to anyone or imply that you have the authority to approve a potential adoption. B.A.R.K. retains ownership of all animals placed in foster care and will make all decisions regarding the adoption and placement of the animals fostered.
If you are no longer able to foster the animal, B.A.R.K. requires at least a week's notice in advance to find a replacement foster home.
Foster services performed by an individual are voluntary and are without any express or implied promise of salary, compensation, or payment of any kind.
I have read and understand the questions and statements above. I certify that all the information contained in this application is true and correct. I understand that although B.A.R.K. takes reasonable care to screen animals for foster care placement, it makes no guarantees relating to the animals' health, behavior, temperament or actions. I understand that I receive foster care animals at my own risk and can decline to accept any animal for which B.A.R.K. has asked me to provide care. I acknowledge that B.A.R.K. is not responsible for any property damage or personal injury suffered by me, members of my household, including my own animals, or any third parties during a foster placement, and I assume liability to provide adequate controls to prevent such damage or injury. I acknowledge that this application remains the property of B.A.R.K.
I agree to give care and shelter to a rescued dog for a limited period. I understand that I am accepting this dog as my own, until a new home can be found. I also understand that B.A.R.K may have no prior knowledge of the dog's temperament, and I will therefore take all due care to protect myself and others who may come in contact with this animal.
I will indemnify, defend, and hold B.A.R.K. harmless from damage to property, or harm to persons or other animals caused by this rescue animal.
I also understand that B.A.R.K. will be responsible for all veterinary care necessary for this animal while it is in my care, only if prior authorization for any such care has been given by a member of B.A.R.K.
I understand that this is a legal document and any foster dog is the property of B.A.R.K. until they are adopted. Any information given in this application is correct to the best of my knowledge.
