Foster Responsibilities

Please review and acknowledge the following foster responsibilities and expectations for King William Regional Animal Shelter.
I, First and Last Name* , on behalf of myself, my heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns, hereby execute this agreement with the SHELTER (the “Shelter”), and in furtherance thereof do certify and agree to the following:
1. I understand that it is my decision to foster animal(s) for the Shelter, and I am aware that foster animal(s) may cause damage or injury to persons, personal property, real property, and other animals. I expressly assume the risk of participating in the foster care program and accepting the foster care animal(s) into my temporary custody. I waive all claims that I, my heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns may have at any time against the Shelter and hold the Shelter harmless against any claims or liability for any damage, injury, or harm caused directly or indirectly through my participation in the foster care program or by the animal(s) I accept into my temporary custody through such program. I understand and agree that the Shelter cannot guarantee the behavior, mental condition, or temperament of the foster animal(s) I accept into my temporary custody and shall not be held responsible for any related liability.
2. I understand that the actions of animals are often unpredictable and agree that the foster animal(s) will be closely supervised by me, or a responsible person delegated by me, particularly when the foster animal(s) is/are with children or other animals.
3. I understand, agree, and assume the risk that (a) fostering an animal carries a risk of injury, and that it is possible that I, other people, and/or animals may be bitten, scratched, and/or otherwise injured; (b) that I, other people, and/or animals may be exposed to canine and/or feline illness and disease and that it is also possible that I could indirectly expose my own pets or others to such illness and disease; and (c) that an animal being fostered may cause damage to property and/or destruction of property. My signature to this foster care contract attests on behalf of myself and my organization (if applicable), my/its heirs/successors, personal representatives, and executors, that I (and my organization, if applicable) hereby release, discharge, indemnify, and hold harmless the Shelter, King William County, and King and Queen County from any and all claims, causes of action, or demands, of any nature or cause, including costs and attorney’s fees, incurred or sustained in any way related to my fostering of an animal from the Shelter, including, but not limited to, animal bites, accidents, injuries, damage or destruction of property, domestic disputes, and/or landlord-tenant disputes.
4. I understand and agree that the foster animal(s) is/are only temporarily in my care and remain(s) the property of the Shelter, and I will surrender the foster animal(s) to the Shelter at the end of the foster care period, or immediately upon request. I will not relinquish custody of the foster animal(s) to anyone except the Shelter. I agree that if I cannot care for the foster animal(s) for any reason (even temporarily) I must bring the foster animal(s) back to the Shelter immediately.
5. I have been provided with a copy of the Foster Care Guide published by the Shelter, have read and understand its terms, and agree to comply with all requirements contained therein.
6. I agree that all animals in my temporary custody pursuant to the foster program will be housed indoors. When outdoors, I understand and agree that I must be with the animal(s) at all times, and each animal needs to be properly restrained and protected. For example: a dog would need to be on-leash when there is no fence, or inside a secure fence. Puppies without full series of vaccination cannot be outside in areas where dogs with unknown vaccination histories may roam. Cat’s and pocket pet animals are NOT permitted to be outside unless authorized by RAS Staff..
7. I will notify the Shelter immediately if any foster animal in my temporary custody is lost, injured, or becomes ill and needs immediate medical care.
8. I have not been convicted of animal cruelty, neglect, or abandonment, or any other crime involving an animal. I will not use any foster animal for any medical or experimental purpose.
9. By signature of this contract, I attest that participation in the foster care program and acceptance of temporary custody of the animal(s) does not violate any lease, covenant, easement, deed, or other right, restriction on, or interest in the property that will be the location of the placement. I warrant that the Shelter can rely on the representations made in this contract and any application submitted for participation in the foster care program.
10. I understand and agree that the Shelter may examine and inquire about any foster animal at any time. If the Shelter determines that I am not complying with this agreement in any way, it may reclaim the animal and is entitled to enter onto my property to do so. In the event that the Shelter takes action to reclaim an animal, I shall be responsible for the costs thereof, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the Shelter, King William County, or King and Queen County.
11. I will give the Shelter a minimum of three (3) calendar days’ notice as to when my foster animal(s) will be returned.
12. I will (a) provide weekly updates to the Shelter regarding any foster animal in my care needing medication or being fostered for health-related concerns; (b) return all foster animals to the Shelter for periodic check-ups and regular vaccinations; and (c) administer medication to the foster animals as recommended and supplied by the Shelter. (Please see below).
The Shelter must be contacted if the above requirements cannot be met.
I have been informed of the temperament and condition of the animal that I will be fostering for the Animal Shelter. I am aware of my responsibilities as the foster care provider and placement for the animal.
Please upload a clear photo of your driver's license or government issued ID.
