Volunteering and Fostering for A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue, Inc., a non-profit corporation [hereinafter “The Group”] can consist of feeding, walking, exercising, socializing and cleaning up after the animals, helping other volunteers and potential adopters, being responsible and respectful. To attend an adoption event volunteers must be 14 years or older, wear closed toe shoes, and shirts must cover their midriff. Do you agree to this care of the animal?

1. The Group reserves the right to cancel the Volunteer/Foster Caretaker Agreement and remove any and all foster pet(s) for any reason at its sole discretion.

2. The animals(s) in the foster care program may be incubating a medical condition that could affect my personal animal(s) at home. I understand that it is possible that during medical processing of the foster pet, some illness and/or injury and/or parasite may go undetected. It is my responsibility to ensure that my personal animals are protected from a potential disease to which they may be exposed as a result of my volunteering or taking foster animals into my home. I understand that any animal has the potential to bite, injure or even cause death to another animal or human being. If at any time the animal in my care runs away, gets lost, injured, becomes ill or passes away I will notify The Group/Site Lead/Foster Coordinator immediately. I will follow instructions given by The Group/Site Lead/Foster Coordinator regarding the animals in the program, at events, at the veterinary’s office, or any location where The Group is. 

3. If fostering, I will receive a copy of the foster information sheet and agree that it is my responsibility to read, understand and follow the guidelines set forth therein. Any questions I may have regarding foster responsibility will be directed to my Foster Coordinator. I agree to adhere to any veterinary appointments made for the foster animal and to bring the animals to the adoption events as requested. Animals brought to the events must be clean, free of external parasites and in good health. 

4. I have the option to return the foster animal(s) in my care to The Group if I choose to no longer have the foster responsibilities. I agree to return the animal and supplies given to me by The Group if I am no longer able to care adequately for the animal. I cannot transfer (even temporarily) to anyone without the prior approval from The Group.
