RELEASE OF LIABILITY: FOSTER HOME

This document provides for the release of liability of the Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue, Inc. (SCLRR) organization and its volunteers due to the actions of any Labrador Retriever or Labrador Retriever Mix (dog) which has been released into the ownership of the SCLRR and placed into a Foster Home with:

Name: ____________________________________________________

Address: __________________________________________________

City/State/Zipcode: __________________________________________

Phone: ____________________________________________________

I, the Foster Care provider named above, understand that the SCLRR and its volunteers, have no way of guaranteeing the actions or disposition of any dog released to them and placed into Foster Care with me. I understand that every effort has been made to assess the disposition of dogs released to SCLRR beforehand but, being living animals, they may act unpredictably in any given situation and that I must take necessary precautions to prevent accidents and guard against unpredicted actions by any dog I foster.

Further, I promise to take adequate care of the dogs I foster while they are in my possession providing food, water, and shelter as needed. I also promise to notify the SCLRR if any fostered dog is in need of veterinary care such as vaccinations, routine testing and refill of heartworm preventive or treatment for illness so that this care can be provided in a timely manner. Control of external parasites (fleas and ticks) will be maintained by me as well.

At no time will I allow this dog to be nuisance to people or other animals. To that end I will keep it safely confined in a fenced yard or kennel run or inside a house or garage when it is not with me or a member of my family. At no time will the dog be placed outside on a tie-out unless under the direct supervision of a responsible adult. When off of my property, the dog will be kept on a leash unless it is in a fenced area approved for free running dogs. (Note: SCLRR recommends the use of a dog crate for confinement inside the house and the use of ID tags on the dog's collar in case the dog escapes.)

I understand that Fostering a dog for SCLRR is not the same as Adopting a dog from them and that this dog must be made available to Prospective Owners referred by SCLRR for viewing for possible permanent Adoption. If I wish to Adopt a dog which I Foster, then I must fill out an Adoption Application and pay the expected fee for the dog just like any other family.
