Foster Application and Agreement

The purpose of foster care is to allow an animal to live in a home environment while awaiting permanent placement, permitting the foster family to evaluate and work with the pet to reincorporate them into a home environment. The exposure the pet gets from being treated as one of the family often speeds up the adoptability of the pet. Rebels Misfits Rescue considers our foster families to be essential to the welfare and proper placement of our pets. We want the experience to be enjoyable and free from misunderstandings.

Please note the following guidelines and sign that you understand each:
• The foster family will follow all relevant procedures and guidelines of Rebels Misfits Rescue regarding the pet placed in their home and will not make decisions or take actions regarding the pet's veterinary care or placement.
• The veterinarians working with Rebels Misfits Rescue bill Rebels Misfits Rescue directly for approved medical services provided to our pets. In the event the foster in your care needs medical care reach out to one of the board members.
• The foster family will provide the pet with humane care and maintain the pet in accordance with all current state, county and municipal laws and ordinances while the pet resides with the foster family.
• The foster family will provide the pet with necessary exercise, will not keep the pet chained or restrained alone outside. Rebels Misfits Rescue pets should not be kept as outside pets.
• The foster family agrees to provide the pet with adequate food, water, shelter, affection, socialization, exercise and to strive to increase the adoptability of the pet.
• If the pet cannot be kept by the foster family, they shall notify Rebels Misfits Rescue immediately. The pet SHALL NOT BE SOLD, ABANDONED, RELINQUISHED TO A SHELTER OR POUND OR ANY THIRD PARTY. THE FOSTER FAMILY UNDERSTANDS THAT WE HAVE LIMITED INFORMATION REGARDING THE TEMPERAMENT OF THE PET OR ITS HABITS. THE FOSTER FAMILY WILL TAKE ALL REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS (THROUGH THE USE OF CRATES, LEASHES, SUPERVISION AND COMMON SENSE) TO ENSURE THE PET DOES NOT RUN LOOSE, BECOME A NUISANCE, DESTROY PROPERTY, INJURE OR BE INJURED BY ANOTHER ANIMAL OR PERSON.
• The pet is and shall remain the property of Rebels Misfits Rescue and may be removed by Rebels Misfits Rescue from the foster family at any time.
• The foster family agrees to be courteous, helpful and honest to potential adopters and to fully cooperate in accommodating those who wish to meet the pet.
• In the event the foster family wishes to permanently adopt the pet, an adoption contract must be submitted to Rebels Misfits Rescue along with the requested adoption fee.
• The foster family should insure that all of its pets are up to date on their vaccinations prior to bringing the pet into the foster home.

THE FOSTER FAMILY DOES HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE AND HOLD HARMLESS REBELS MISFITS RECUE AND ANY PERSON, FIRM OR CORPORATION CHARGED OR CHARGEABLE WITH LIABILITY TOGETHER WITH THEIR HEIRS, ADMINISTRATORS, EXECUTORS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, EXPENSES, LOSS OF SERVICES, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, BELONGING TO THE FOSTER FAMILY DUE TO ANY ACTION OR OCCURRENCE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOSTERING OF A PET FOR CARE. BY SUBMITTING A FOSTER HOME APPLICATION YOU HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE FOREGOING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
