*
I agree that the fostered dog will be kept exclusively as an indoor foster pet and will not be used in any way detrimental to the dog ( i.e., medical research, abuse, neglect, etc.) and not maintained as a yard dog (kept outside). The primary function of a care provider is to offer a safe and nourishing environment for the foster until a forever home is approved and adoption is complete. *

I agree
The foster dog will only be euthanized under extenuating emergency circumstances with veterinarian approval or by authorization by board decision. Euthanasia must be performed by a licensed veterinarian.
*
I agree
I acknowledge that all foster dogs remain in the sole ownership of SGF while in my care. I shall immediately notify SGF of my intent to give up the dog. Further, in the event of any material dispute concerning the care or condition of the foster dog, SGF may, at its discretion, reclaim the foster dog.
*
I agree
I agree that I will not transfer, sell, give, trade, or in any way change the custody of the foster dog from me to any other person or entity, including, without limitation to, any laboratory, rescue group, or humane society. The foster will not be sold or given away. If I no longer want to be a care provider for SGF, I acknowledge that I can not keep the foster dog and I am required to return the dog to Sophia’s Grace Foundation.
*
I agree
I understand that SGF reserves the right to repossess the foster dog (at my expense) should any portion of this contract be breached by me or should SGF determine, in its reasonable discretion, that I have neglected or mistreated the foster dog.
