| Foster Contract 1. Foster animals are considered property of Paws in the City. My foster animal may not be given away to another person, shelter or rescue organization or passed on to friends/family members. 2. If unable to continue fostering, Paws in the City must be given one-month notice to make appropriate arrangements if at all possible. 3. Medical decisions and expenses must be approved by Paws in the City and provided by designated veterinarians. After hour emergencies may be taken to the emergency vet without approval, if unable to locate a member of Paws in the City. If taken to a clinic without prior approval, except in an emergency, medical expenses may not be compensated for my foster animal. 4. Reimbursement of vet expenses will require copies of bills. Foster parent will not normally be reimbursed for expenses such as food, toys, treats and litter. If you go out of town, please give us as much notice as possible so we can find a temporary foster and avoid incurring boarding costs. 5. Paws in the City will not typically be responsible for medical or other expenses incurred by the foster parent’s own pet while fostering for Paws in the City. 6. Cats must be kept indoors. Dogs may be indoor/outdoor during the day but kept inside at night. 7. Paws in the City has permission to make home inspections, with a 24-hour notice, and if the situation warrants, the animal may be removed immediately. 8. Foster parent agrees to bring the animal to adoption events as much as possible. I agree to pick him/her up after the event unless other arrangements have been made in advance. I understand that bringing the foster pet to events increases the chances for adoption. 9. All adoptions require a pre-adoption application, interview, home check (by foster parent or Paws in the City representative), adoption contract and adoption donation in advance of the animal exchange. All adoptions must be approved by appropriate Paws in the City representatives. 10. If foster parent finds a potential adopter, be it a friend, family member or colleague from work, the same process holds true as #9. 11. Checks are payable to Paws in the City. Adoption amounts are $200 for dogs, $250 for puppies and $125 for cats and will be considered a donation. 12. Foster parent releases Paws in the City, its officers, directors and volunteers from any claims, liabilities, or expenses for any damages incurred while fostering. |
