Certification Statement*
- I agree to receive and care for the foster pet in my home until the time the animal is ready to return to the shelter or is adopted. I will be responsible for feeding, daily hygiene, and providing a safe and clean environment; making sure it gets proper exercise and mental stimulation (that includes playtime); making sure the pet follows the vaccination schedule given by the shelter; transporting your foster pet to its veterinarian appointments if necessary. The shelter can provide food, litter, toys, bedding, etc. for foster pets which must be picked up at the shelter. The shelter also provides medical care for pets in foster care. All vaccines, tests, and spaying and neutering will be done through the shelter or a vet of the shelters choice. Any illnesses which arise should be immediately reported to PMHS staff listed in the handbook and will be assessed and handled as deemed necessary. Any vet visits which are not previously approved will not be covered by the PMHS. I will not sell or give away any animal in my care to a research facility, pet shop, dog breeder, or puppy mill, or to any other person or business. In the event that I am no longer able to care for the pet, I agree to immediately return any foster animal(s) in my care at that time, as well as all records and property belonging to PMHS. The length of time a pet is in foster care is at the sole discretion of the shelter and pets can be required to be returned at any time. I agree to adhere to any and all foster guidelines which are outlined in the foster handbook. I have completed this application to the best of my ability and knowledge. I have made no misstatements or misrepresentations. I understand a Shelter representative may need to visit my home for a home inspection before my foster application is fully approved. I authorize Pope Memorial Humane Society to contact listed veterinarians and landlords to investigate all statements in this application. Once approved and selected to foster an animal, all foster homes receive a Foster Care Handbook pertaining to the animal(s) you have brought home
