In the event that Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue requests the return of one of their animals for any reason, do you agree to return the animal immediately? *

Yes

Fosters have Right of First Refusal for the animal they are fostering, but if at any time you decide you want to adopt the animal that you are fostering, please note that you MUST notify RMAR by phone, email, and complete an adoption application specifically for the animal you are fostering as applications are received frequently and we may already be processing an adoption application for that animal. This also applies to any friends or family that you may have visiting the animal. No animal will be held without an Adoption Application first sent in specifically for that animal. Do you agree? *

Yes

Before your application is accepted, you will receive an automated reply with a Foster Handbook. Please take the time to review this and note any questions you might have.

You must be able to provide a safe, loving, stable and consistent environment for the foster animal.

You must understand that while we do the best we can at matching you to the right animal, many of these animals have endured major traumas and their temperaments may change as the animal gets more comfortable in its new environment. This includes issues like house manners, house breaking, and energy level.

Before your application is accepted, you will automatically receive:

- A confirmation email that your application has been received and will be reviewed
- Link to download our Foster Handbook (please read if you haven't already!)

If/When your application is accepted, you will receive:
- A welcome email from your Foster Coordinator with the next steps
- When you get your foster animal, you will be added to an active weekly mailing list that will remind you to complete your Weekly Progress Report, and include any news relevant to fosterers. By completing this form, you agree to receive this weekly email and complete the Progress Report.

As an R-mar Foster Family, you must agree to...

Have patience and be willing to nurse any injury and/or illness

Transport your foster animal to and from our Sanctuary, vet appointments, potential adopter meetings and adoption events as needed

Complete a weekly progress report. This is an online form that takes approximately 10 minutes to fill out.

House your foster dog(s) indoors

Help arrange and carry out meetings with potential adopters to allow them to meet your foster dog and ask questions

Contact the Foster Coordinator regarding any and all concerns, issues, questions you may have

Contact the Foster Coordinator for approval prior to making ANY purchases for your foster animal, as RMAR will NOT reimburse any purchases made without approval.

Understand that all decisions made by RMAR and/or veterinarian are final

Understand that all foster animals are the property of Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue and must be relinquished to the Sanctuary upon request

Understand that fosterers do have first right to adopt if approved by RMAR, but must inform us by phone, email AND by completing an adoption application the moment the decision is made as we may already be processing an application from another potential adopter
