Foster Agreements
By submitting this application, I give HERO Hound permission to contact my references, veterinarian, and landlord (if applicable) regarding all statements in this application.
I understand that most dogs will require an adjustment period. Some require a few days while many will require longer to adjust to a new home and routine. Research states most dogs take 3 months to feel at home in a new environment.
All HERO Hound foster dogs are to have access to the essentials: food, water, and shelter and to receive ample and adequate time outside. Do you agree to these terms?
Misrepresenting or omission of details is cause for denial of adoption. By submitting this application, I attest that all statements made by me in this application are truthful.
This application does NOT ensure approval to foster and HERO Hound Rescue reserves the right to deny the application for any reason.

Food will be provided by the foster family and, upon request, the cost of such food and other ordinary needs will be reimbursed by HERO Hound Rescue.
Routine non-emergency veterinary procedures must be cleared with your foster coordinator prior to treatment and will be paid for by HERO Hound Rescue if performed at an authorized vet clinic. (In a true emergency, an attempt must be made to contact HERO; if this attempt fails, the foster is authorized is able to sign for and consent to all reasonable and necessary veterinary procedures to stabilize the pet, and this contract is proof of such authority.)
A HERO Hound Rescue tag must be on the dog's collar at all times. The dog must wear a collar at all times except that the collar may be removed for crating. Foster families are also encouraged to affix an identification tag giving the family's address and phone number.
Your foster dog will be adopted to a permanent home only under the supervision of HERO Hound Rescue to a family pre-approved by HERO Hound Rescue. Adoptive families may be contacted occasionally by the foster family to inquire about the dog, as long as the adoptive families are accorded respect and privacy.
11. Any questions or problems are to be directed to your HERO Hound Rescue foster coordinator, and notice of any injury, illness or other emergency will be given immediately. If it is necessary to remove the dog from the home, possession will be given directly to an officer of HERO Hound Rescue.

HERO Hound Rescue and its officers are not responsible for injuries to people or pets, or for property loss or damage. The foster family will accept responsibility for any events that occur while fostering the dog.
The foster family will contact HERO Hound Rescue at regular intervals to report on the status of the dog. At minimum, fosters must report at bi-weekly intervals. More frequent reports are encouraged.
Any vacation or weekend boarding needs (unless an emergency) must be cleared with HERO Hound Rescue. Authorization for boarding costs must be made as far in advance as possible.
The foster family is welcome to adopt the dog at the regular adoption fee. Foster families have the right to refuse adoption to any HERO Hound Rescue approved adopter but may NOT adopt the dog to an unapproved home. Fosters are encouraged to actively participate in the placement of their foster dog.
The foster family may end this agreement at any time but must give HERO Hound Rescue at least seven (7) days to make other foster arrangements. Any non-emergency boarding costs incurred during this period are the responsibility of the foster family.
