I understand that I may only have my foster animal temporarily unless specifically allowed by ISWMP
I agree to provide a ISWMP representative access to all parts of my home and property for a home inspection before my application to foster is approved.
I agree the animal is to be a family companion while in my care and i agree to provide the animal with a safe home, adequate food, water, proper care, exercise, love and attention and not to violate any laws or ordinances with the animal.
I agree to keep the animal safe and not let it ride loose in the bed of pickup trucks, convertibles, or to be left in a car unless the car remains on with the air conditioner on and the doors locked.

I understand that the dogs/animals in general I will be handling were previously unwanted or lost and may be rescued by ISWMP from dangerous, unhealthy and/or cruel situations. This can have long-lasting effects on the animals.
I agree to provide my foster animal with veterinary care ONLY as authorized by ISWMP and I will not arrange or pay for any elective veterinary care for my foster animal without the express consent of an authorized ISWMP representative.
I will take all necessary precautions to prevent my foster animal from either impregnating another animal or becoming impregnated. In the event that happens, I will notify ISWMP immediately.
I agree that I am fostering this animal for ISWMP, and that I do not have any right of ownership over my foster animal.

I understand that ISWMP has the right to request return of my foster animal based on my change of residence, and agree that I will surrender my foster animal to ISWMP immediately upon request.
I understand that as long as I provide foster care to my foster animal to ISWMP’s satisfaction, I will be given the first right of adoption of my foster animal, at such time as ISWMP decides to place my foster animal for adoption.

I understand that ISWMP is making no representations or warranties about the condition, personality, or temperament of any of the animals.
I understand ISWMP will only give me the information and knowledge ISWMP have through observation and vet checks since ISWMP met the animal in question: I will therefore not hold ISWMP responsible for any damage, injury, or harm caused directly or indirectly to any person or property by any animal I may decide to volunteer my time to help.
I understand ISWMP, AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICANT FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON.
