I (Foster) acknowledge and agree that my intent in entering into this Foster-to-Adopt Agreement is to adopt the animal identified in this Agreement once the animal has been cleared for adoption by the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS). I agree to complete all required adoption paperwork and submit the applicable adoption fee in full within 48 hours of being notified that the animal is officially ready for adoption.

I acknowledge that AARCS has reviewed the medical file for the animal I am Fostering. AARCS has gone through all known upcoming medical needs.

I understand that the animal may require additional vaccination(s), deworming treatment(s) or other medical treatments before adoption and these must be completed at AARCS Safe Haven and Veterinary Hospital (5060-74 Ave SE, Calgary, AB, T2C 3C9). I will follow any and all advice, directions or instructions provided by the AARCS medical team.

I agree to transport my foster animal to AARCS Safe Haven and Veterinary Hospital (5060-74 Ave SE, Calgary, AB, T2C 3C9) for their booster vaccines and other medical needs that may arise prior to adoption.

I acknowledge that I understand the risks involved with fostering and agree to adhere to AARCS policies and procedures to keep both the animal and people safe.

I acknowledge that AARCS has provided me with a background of the animal’s behaviour. AARCS has reviewed all known behaviour with me. I understand that the animal’s behaviour/temperament may change in a new environment, over time or due to events in the pet’s life that may not have been presented during his/her time at AARCS and that it is my responsibility to ensure any behaviour concerns are brought to the attention of the behaviour team.

Welcoming an animal into your home is a huge commitment. Please keep in mind that any change, even a positive one such as moving to a new home, is stressful for animals. It can take an animal days and even weeks to fully settle into their new home. I understand it is important to be patient, understanding and willing to work with the animal while this transition into their new life and home is taking place.

I agree to absolve Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society and any of its members, of any responsibility for damages should they occur.

I acknowledge that I will follow AARCS policies outlined in the foster handbook while the animal is a foster.

Should for whatever reason I need to return my foster to AARCS, I understand that I must contact AARCS staff and give as much notice as possible. Placement of my foster may several weeks due to limited shelter space and the individual needs of the animal.

Any personal information collected is only used by Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society for the purpose defined at the time of the collection or a use that complies with these purposes. We do not share your information with any third parties.

I (Foster), agree to all of the terms of this contract and understand that non-compliance with the terms of this agreement gives AARCS the right to reclaim the animal.
