Acknowledgment and Agreement
1. Pet's Health and Disposition: GAS cannot guarantee the health or disposition of any foster animal. We do not have past records for these animals and there are some risks of injury or illness associated with taking in foster animals. Family pets should be current on all vaccinations and foster pets should be kept isolated from family pets, for a minimum of 7 days for the protection of all animals.

2. Transfer of Animals: Animals cannot be transferred to the custody of another person, shelter, humane society, SPCA, or other entity without prior consent and permission of GAS. I cannot place this pet in another home, whether it be temporary or permanent, without authorization.

3. Return of Animals: All the pets in the GAS foster program are the property of GAS and must be returned within 24 hours of request. I agree that I am fostering this pet for GAS and that I do not have any right of ownership over my foster animal. I further agree that GAS' rights in and to my foster pet are superior to mine. I agree to provide the Authorized Representative, or his/her designate access to my home and property to check on my foster pet, at any time while I am in possession of my foster pet.

4. Personal or Property Damage and/or Injury: I agree that accidental animal bites or other injuries to humans and other animals do occur, and agree to hold harmless and indemnify, and protect GAS from any claim or suit filed by someone as a result of such incident. In addition, GAS will not be responsible if animal should damage or destroy property belonging to Foster Caregiver, Foster Caregiver household, or others, or if the animal shall transfer any disease, internal or external parasites to other animals and people in Foster Caregivers household. I understand that if I am approved for fostering, this declaration represents a legal contract between me as the foster home caregiver and GAS. I understand that if I am approved to foster an animal, I must abide by this agreement and that this agreement applies to any and all animals that I foster with GAS.
