Breed*Species*DogCatOtherGender*MaleFemaleIs the Pet Spayed/Neutered?*YesNoPrimary Color/Description*Microchip NumberFoster Agreement Terms*By checking each box, you are stating you understand and agree to the terms. The parties agree that the foster shall abide by the following conditions: Foster will provide temporary shelter. Oklahoma Alliance for Animals, hereinafter referred to as ''Rescue" will continue to look for a permanent home for the pet, but fostering keeps the pet safe, and provides comfort and security, until he/she can be adopted. Foster understands that he/she will not be compensated for this service, other than being provided the essential items to successfully foster and veterinary care needed while the pet is in foster’s care. Each prospective foster home will be visited by an agent of rescue or other approved individual to evaluate its qualifications as a foster home. Foster understands and agrees that the pet is the property of the rescue.Foster does not have any ownership of the pet; all such rights remain fully and forever with rescue. The pet shall not be sold, given to, placed in the care of, offered or delivered for adoption to another person, organization or any other entity including, but not limited to, a family member, friend, rescue facility, research facility, or shelter. The pet must be returned to rescue if, for any reason, foster can no longer care for the pet.Violation of this agreement will result in travel costs, court costs and attorney fees payable by foster if legal action or travel is necessary for rescue to recover the pet.Foster understands that the pet has intrinsic value and is not replaceable, so if the pet is euthanized, lost or otherwise unable to be returned to the rescue due to the negligence or intent of foster to circumvent rescue’s ownership or possession of the pet, it is agreed that the foster will be in breach of this agreement and is subject to pay liquidated damages to the rescue. Foster agrees not to transfer custody of the pet to anyone other than a representative of rescue, and agrees to return the pet to rescue upon request. Foster agrees to notify rescue, without delay, if foster can no longer care for or keep the pet. Foster agrees to give rescue reasonable time to re-home the pet or place the pet in an approved foster home, if available. Foster must notify rescue of any behavioral problems that have occurred at any time before returning the pet. Foster understands and agrees that the name of the pet may not, under any circumstances, be changed. Name may only be changed by an adopter after successful completion of screening and the execution of an Adoption Contract. Foster agrees that the pet will be called by the name included in this document at all times. Foster understands and agrees that ANY non-emergency veterinary care for the pet must be approved PRIOR TO charges being incurred. Rescue can be contacted for authorization by calling/texting the adoption coordinator or (918) 917-9687 or emailing info@animalallianceok.org. All veterinary authorizations must be made by an authorized agent of rescue; no other individual is authorized to make authorization for any veterinary care. Foster agrees to abide by the decision of rescue in regards to authorizing any medical care for the pet, including the denial of such authorization. Should foster not get a reply to email or voicemail within 24 hours, he/she is directed to contact rescue again as both means of communication can be affected by forces not under rescue's control. All veterinary records and bills submitted for reimbursement must be in the name of rescue and reflect the name of the pet as stated in this document. Bills that do not reflect both items cannot be reimbursed by rescue. Foster should take a copy of this contract to the veterinarian to ensure that all records are in rescue's name. In the event of a life or death emergency, rescue is to be notified as soon as possible or within 24 hours. Foster understands and agrees that any unauthorized veterinary care will not be reimbursed and roster will be responsible to pay those charges. Foster agrees to give the pet all required medications or treatments as needed and prescribed by the veterinarian. If it is determined that the pet has become ill or injured as a result of foster’s unreasonable conduct, rescue will be entitled to any and all expenses incurred to return the pet to health. Foster agrees to take the pet to rescue adoption events when it is reasonably convenient for the foster. If foster cannot take the pet to three successive adoption events, foster may be asked to return the pet to rescue. Foster agrees to take the pet to veterinary appointments, photography appointments, grooming appointments, meet and greet appointments and/or to the rescue’s primary location Alta Vista Animal Hospital 7717 E 21st St Tulsa, OK 74129. Rescue will coordinate with foster to make sure said appointments are convenient for foster. The pet will be treated as a family member with loving care and affection. I will do my best to ensure the pet's safety and well-being. I will feed the pet at least twice a day or as directed and provide a fresh supply of water at all times. Pet will live inside my home and will not be isolated from the family. I will walk pet on a leash or exercise pet in a fenced area. I will never let pet run loose or roam, keep pet chained or tied up, keep it continuously in a yard, garage, patio, balcony, or pen, or leave pet outdoors, even in a fenced yard when no one is at home. Pet may be crated for no longer than (9) hours at a time. The crate must be large enough for pet to stand up, turn around and lay comfortably on his/her side. Rescue will provide such crate and in the event crate becomes damaged I will notify Rescue for new one. Foster understands that Dog may not be taken to dog parks or play groups until Dog is spayed or neutered and approved by Rescue to take to such places. Foster understands that Rescue will arrange for spay or neuter as soon as pet is healthy enough and interactions with other animals are safe to do so. I agree that I currently and will always have and maintain a fenced yard at the home where pet will be or I understand that I must demonstrate to Rescue an ability to properly exercise and keep pet safe while going to the bathroom. I agree to not allow pet to ever be allowed to run loose in an unfenced area. I understand Rescue’s goal is that pet is kept as a house pet in close companionship with their families and it should be in a home where it will be sleeping in the home and not left outdoors. I will not use a choke-type collar, prong collar or shock collar at any time. I will attach pet ID tag to a non-choke collar to be worn at all times. In the event the pet becomes lost, I will immediately notify Rescue and make an effort to find pet via foot, vehicle and/or social media. I will immediately notify the Rescue of any change of contact information (address, phone number(s), or email address). Pet’s microchip or ID tag will have contact information (address, phone number, or email address) of Rescue. I agree not to remove or alter Rescue’s contact information from pet’s microchip or ID Tag. In the event the microchip or ID tag stops working (backs out after implantation, microchip cannot be found with microchip scanner, breaks off collar) I agree to notify Rescue without delay so that a new microchip can be implanted or tag can be made. I agree pet will not be transported in any open vehicle such as a truck bed even in a crate. I will not abuse or neglect the pet or allow it to be abused or neglected. I authorize Rescue, at its sole discretion, to determine whether or not pet has been abused or neglected while in my possession. Dog shall not participate or be trained as a guard dog or fighting dog, nor will Foster use it for any purpose other than companionship. Foster will never allow any physical, mental, or emotional abuse of the pet. I affirm that no member of my household has been convicted or charged with any animal welfare law violation such as neglect, cruelty, abandonment, etc. I affirm that no member of my household has been convicted or charged with any domestic battery or sex crime. I am taking possession of pet at my own risk and I release Rescue, its officers, directors, members, employees, representatives, agents or assigns from any and all liability arising out of possession of pet. I acknowledge that Rescue may not be held liable should Dog bite or injure a person or another animal while in my possession. I accept full liability for the Dog while in my care, recognizing the potential issues that may arise with any animal and will avoid such situations. I will ensure compliance with all applicable local ordinances and state statutes regarding possession of pet (i.e. leash laws, picking up waste, etc.). If I am charged with violating any such ordinance or statute while in possession of pet, I understand that Rescue is not responsible for obtaining legal counsel for me or for paying any fines or penalties assessed. Pet’s known background and medical history have been discussed with me. I understand that Rescue has made no representation concerning the health, condition, training, behavior, or temperament of the pet. Rescue dogs are typically affectionate and friendly, and Rescue will not place a dog known to be of an unsound temperament. However, no one can predict how any dog will react in a given situation, especially without complete knowledge of its life experiences. Therefore, Foster is strongly urged to exercise prudence and caution in introducing Dog into a new situation (for example dog parks, stores, groomer, vet, other homes and meeting other animals) until Dog has become fully adjusted to its new environment and Foster has had an opportunity to become familiar with Dog’s unique personality. Foster accepts all responsibility and liability for all introductions. Rescue will not be held liable for any damage or loss resulting from the failure of Dog to respond to any commands taught to Dog or resulting from counseling advice supplied to Foster. In the event any behavioral concerns arise, Foster will immediately notify Rescue. Should any behavior of Dog result in damage to property, Foster, or another person or animal while in the possession of Foster, Foster agrees to assume full liability to such third party for any and all such damage, and to absolve Rescue from any and all obligations to pay such damage to third party. Rescue shall not be responsible for any bodily injuries or property damage and/or damage to other animals caused by Dog or by the actions of Foster. The Foster hereby specifically assumes sole responsibility for, and agrees to indemnify and hold Oklahoma Alliance for Animals harmless from any and all loss and expenses (including legal fees) by reason of liability imposed by law upon the Rescue or any of its officers, directors, members, employees, representatives, agents, or assigns because of bodily injuries or death to any person or persons including Foster or those in Foster’s household, or any damage to property and/or animals arising out of or in consequence of the placement of Dog howsoever such injuries, death or damage to property and/or animals may be caused, whether or not the same may have been caused, or may be alleged to have been accused, by negligence of the aforementioned parties or any of their directors, members, employees, representatives, agents, or assigns or any other person. I understand that by voluntarily signing this agreement, I am entering into a legal and binding contract with Rescue. I understand that any misrepresentations in this agreement are cause for Rescue to declare this agreement in breach.
