List any past experience that you have that will be beneficial while fostering our dogs:

All adult foster dogs are evaluated for behavior and temperament problems. However, because we often do not have a complete history, issues may emerge that we were not aware of before the dog came to AARF. Are you prepared to communicate these issues and assistance AARF in the best possible solution in order to help this dog become the best companion he/she can?

Do you agree to keep your adult foster dog on a leash in unfenced areas?

Do you agree that if you are fostering puppies or have adult dogs in your care that are not fully vaccinated you will not expose them to an environment that would compromise their health? This includes all public grounds, dog parks, sidewalks, etc.

Do you agree that should your foster dog be unknowingly exposed to a health risk, you will immediately notice your foster counselor?

How did you hear about AARF

Please review the following statement and check the box below to indicate your agreement:

AARF volunteers cannot always tell whether animals are completely house trained or not, so please treat all indoor fosters as if they are not, until they show you otherwise. Please do not give a foster dog access to shoes, rugs or other valuable items! You may regret it! While AARF is responsible for veterinary care of foster dogs in our network, we cannot assume responsibility for the temperament of the dogs placed in foster care. We try to assess dogs' temperaments and find a match for your home, but we usually do not have their full history. Please let us know immediately if you become worried that an animal in your care may have aggressive or unsafe characteristics. We will work with you to find an appropriate outcome, which may include removing the dog from your care. -- I acknowledge and agree that by participating in animal related activities associated with Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation (AARF), Inc., a North Carolina nonprofit corporation (referred to herein as AARF), I am knowingly accepting the risks inherent in such activities. I further acknowledge and agree that AARF does not and cannot assume responsibility for the temperament of any animal that is placed in foster care, is adopted or is otherwise associated with AARF. I hereby release, and agree to hold harmless, AARF, and its directors, officers, employees, agents and volunteers, from any and all legal claims and causes of action based on physical injury or property damage that I, or any minor child in my care, have relating to, resulting from or arising in connection with my activities that are in any way related to AARF, including, but not limited to, providing foster care. I acknowledge and agree that I will notify AARF if of my foster dogs exhibits aggressive or otherwise unsafe behavior.
