Foster Agreement

 
 

Thank you so much for fostering one of our rescues!

We are very grateful for our foster homes! Please look over our foster agreement and sign at the bottom. We look forward to working with you. Fosters like you help us save many more lives than we could without you.

  1. Each foster animal is the sole property of Lake Lowell Animal Rescue (LLAR).

  2. Fosters are certainly encouraged to apply to adopt a foster animal if they are interested in becoming that pet's forever home. The application process for a foster is the same as that for any other applicant, including the adoption fee. Fostering an animal does not in any way guarantee acceptance of an adoption application.

  3. Any medical treatment, alternative therapy, or change in diet must first be approved by LLAR If needed, we will provide food and litter for the duration of the pet's stay with you. Generally speaking all food and supplies need to be picked up from our storage facility in Nampa.

  4. Each foster will have a dedicated Foster Coordinator. This will be your main contact. They will reach out weekly for updates including pictures. If you need supplies, including food, or have concerns please reach out to them via txt, or call if urgent. If you cannot reach them for any reason please txt our main number 208.505.8724 and we will get back to you ASAP.

  5. Foster may be required to provide transport for foster animal or supplies as needed. If foster is unable, LLAR will do everything in its power to provide reasonable transport whenever possible.

  6. Cats are not to be allowed outside; they must be fostered as an "indoor only" cat.

  7. LLAR strongly encourages the foster home to keep personal pets/other foster animals separated from this foster pet(s). Although we attempt to ensure each animal is healthy, there is no way to guarantee animal health. LLAR does not take responsibility for other animals in the home, and cannot provide medical care to pets other than LLAR animals.

  8. We can take the foster pet back at any time, but we do ask for advanced notice if possible.

  9. Any and all pictures or social media posts in regards to foster animals must be approved by the rescue prior to posting.

  10. Foster animal(s) will always be transported inside a fully enclosed metal vehicle’s passenger cabin/compartment, preferably in a secured crate attached to the vehicle (by securing with a seatbelt or other method), but tethered to the vehicle’s seatbelt is allowed. Transporting foster animal(s) in or on the back of a vehicle that is open or covered that is not the passenger cabin/compartment is not allowed. It does not matter if the animal(s) is tethered or in a carrier.  Transporting in truck beds, flat beds, open or fabric/plastic covered vehicles with roll cages/bars, commercial vans, or any type of offroad vehicle is not allowed. Failure to comply with this rule will result in forfeiture of your foster animal to LLAR and future fostering privileges will not be allowed.

  11. Any adoption inquiries regarding foster animals need to be directed to Lake Lowell Animal Rescue. It is the rescue’s decision in final adoption choices. Foster homes are not allowed to place the animals into new homes, or give any assurances on placement until LLAR has completed an approved application process.
