I understand that if I am no longer able to care for my foster that there could be a time period required to find new and suitable arrangements. Saving South Paws will make every effort to remove the dog as soon as possible but I agree to keep foster dog safe and provide its basic needs.

I understand that there may be a decompression period as the move to a new home/environment can be stressful even for the most well mannered dogs. Saving South Paws is committed to providing support through this transition period and I agree to be patient, compassionate and will invest time working through any issues that may arise.

Saving South Paws makes every effort to provide as much knowledge of the foster dogs behavior, personality, and individual needs. We believe in being fully transparent with you to ensure you are fully prepared and able to care for your foster dog. I understand that Savin South Paws cannot guarentee against parasites, disease or behavioral issues. I will not hold Saving South Paws responsible or seek any compensation for damages, medical fees or liabilities incurred by my foster dog.

I understand that all vet care will be provided thruough Saving South Paws parner vet (Lakeview Animal Hospital). Any and all urgent care that may be needed must be approved by Saving South Paws. Saving South Paws is fully committed to the health and well being of all dogs in their care and acknowlede in emergency situations a foster dog may be unable to get to the approved partner vet to receive care.

I understand that any falsification of the above information is cause for Saving South Paws to deny my application/reclaim dog that is in my home.

Thanks for submitting!
