Animals & Us Foster & Adoption Form

  • Thanks for your interest in fostering or adopting šŸ’›

    Our process is quick, simple, and commitment free (until you take a dog home!)

    šŸ“ This form takes just a couple of minutes and helps us understand you, your home & lifestyle and match you with the most paw-fect dogs. Filling it in early means we can move faster and offer more personalised meet & greets.

    What happens next?
    ā€¢ You may be invited for a short call or we can chat in person at one of our events
    ā€¢ Once pre-approved, youā€™re eligible to take a dog home
    ā€¢ Our team supports you every step of the way ā€” before, during and after foster or adoption

    šŸ¶ Please note: Most of our dogs are lovely medium-sized mixed breeds.

    Attending our adoption & foster event this weekend?
    Filling the form in advance is recommended (it makes everything smoother), but not required. Youā€™re always welcome to attend, even if you havenā€™t had a call yet.

    āœØ Ready to begin? Fill the form and letā€™s find you some matches!

  • Adoption & Foster Disclosure

    When you take a dog home, you agree to the below terms. If you are not able to agree to these terms, unfortunately we are unable to place a dog with you - these are to keep our dogs and our families safe

  • I, the undersigned, agree to the following terms and conditions - please read these terms carefully and ensure you agree to them before completing your application:

    • I understand that welcoming a new dog into the home is a big commitment and requires time and patience and that this is especially true for young puppies - it is something I have thought through carefully and I have prepared for, including understanding relevant trainingĀ techniques
    • I understand that I will commitĀ to a mutually agreed period of foster or a 4 week trial adoption. If for any reason I am unable to follow through with this committment (with the exception of severe or extenuating circumstances), I understand thatĀ I need to give aĀ minimum notice of 14 days to return the dog to the rescuer, in order for a solution to be found - we are a high volume rescue and cannot accommodate immediate returns
      • I understand that if I do not adhere to the 14 day notice, I will beĀ liableĀ to sponsor two weeks in boarding for the dog at a cost of 600 AED - this option is not possible for young puppies or dogs that are not fully vaccinated
    • I agree that the animal is being adopted / fostered by myself and will not be sold, adopted, or given to another party
    • I agree that the animal will not be outdoors without supervision
    • I agree when taking my dog outdoors,Ā s/he will be on a secure harness & leash and where advised, a second leash attached to the collarĀ (no extendable leashes, no slip leashes). I will ensure that I take all measures to keep the dog safe, understanding that the dog may be fearful or easily spooked on walks
      • I understand that if I do not adhere to this and the dog is lost due to negligence / not following these instructions, the dog will be removed from the home
    • I agree that this dog is to be a companion animal, not a guard dog. The dog will live inside my home as a family pet
    • I agree to care for the animal in a humane manner. This includes supplying adequate food, water, shelter, attention, and medical care.
      • I agree that I will follow the feeding guidelines provided by the rescuer and will not change their food during the foster / trial adoption period without consulting the team first
      • I understand that duringĀ the foster period or trial adoption period (first 4 weeks)Ā vet bills are covered by Animals & Us but the team MUST be notified as soon as possible and that bills will only be covered at our vet partner, Petzone Vet Clinic (SZR)
    • I understand and agree that the rescuerĀ can makeĀ no guarantees about the animal's temperament and is not responsible for future damages or injuries caused by the animal
    • I give the rescuer permission to call or visit my home, with prior arrangement, to assure that the animal is being properly treated and cared for
    • The rescuer will have the right to remove a puppy/dog if they feel the environment is considered to be unsafe, unloving or unhealthy for the puppy/dog
    • If the dog is lost or dies, the person is obliged to inform the rescuer as soon as possible
    • I agree to keep the rescuer informed of my current home address and phone number
    • I agree that all statements I have made on this form are true
