TERMS OF LIABILITY

I/We commit to:

Keep the dog in my personal possession and provide proper and sufficient food, water, shelter, grooming, and humane treatment always. Keep and care for the dog in a safe manner

If the dog becomes ill or injured, contact Second Chance Dogs (SCD) immediately to determine what veterinary care is needed. Request and receive pre-approval for veterinary care and reimbursement

Obey all animal control regulations governing the area in which I live. It is my responsibility to be familiar with and understand these laws.

If renting. I will show proof of landlord approval.

Agree to contact SCD if I must relinquish custody and explain the reason. This includes release to family members, friends, etc. I agree to give SCD a reasonable amount of time (no less than 72 hours) to find another foster home. Relinquishing the dog to a shelter is a breach of contract and can result in legal action.

Foster home agrees to allow SCD to make a visit of the living conditions of the dog. If the conditions of the foster home are not meeting the needs of the dog, foster agrees to make the necessary changes.

I will assume full responsibility for this dog’s actions, including any damage done by the dog if basic guidelines are not followed which include

• no indoor smoking
• no dog parks for foster dogs
• dogs must be on a leash when being walked outside. Off leash in a fenced yard is okay
• no dogs allowed on chains
• NEVER confine a dog in a room with a closed door. Doggie gate is okay.
• Allow at least 10 days for foster dog to adapt before exposing to others

I understand the temperament, health, habits and physical condition of the dog cannot be guaranteed. I am in full agreement of these terms. Second Chance Dogs is held harmless and not liable or responsible for any damage, accident, or injury resulting from the placement of this dog into my household.

Completion of this form is required. It DOES NOT guarantee foster acceptance. All applications will be reviewed by the Board.
