I understand and agree that I am responsible for transporting my foster animal(s) to required veterinary appointments, including routine vaccines every 2–3 weeks, spay/neuter surgeries, and any additional medical visits as needed. Most appointments take place in Brainerd, East Brainerd, or Ooltewah, and spay/neuter appointments require an early morning drop-off between 6:00 and 6:30 AM on the scheduled day. I also understand and agree that I am expected to bring my foster animal(s) to adopter meet and greets once an adoption is pending.
