Pawsitive Tails to Remember Inc. - Foster Application

Thank you for taking a PTR Foster Dog into your home and heart. Fostering is both lifesaving and life changing for the Foster and the Dog. PTR is very proud of our amazing fosters, and we look forward to welcoming you into our rescue!

What to Expect from the Foster Dog:

* Please be patient with your foster dog while he/she learns the rules of your home.

* Remember, this dog may have never been properly trained, may have been treated harshly, may have been in several homes, and may have even spent time in a shelter.

* Please note that we do not allow our fosters to be kept outside unsupervised or while the foster is away from the home or at night.

* The dog may be confused and unsure of what is expected, and frightened by his/her new environment.

* Behavior that may have been allowed or even rewarded by a previous owner may not be approved of in your home. The purpose of the foster home is to provide the rescued dog with structure and stability, and consistent rules which are to be reinforced through positive behavior modification. This will assist your foster dog in making a smooth transition into your home, and eventually into his/her adoptive home. Training while in your temporary care will definitely be necessary. It will take time for your foster dog to settle in, and for the two of you to feel comfortable with one another.

* Accidents should be expected during this adjustment period. Patience, reasonable periods of confinement, supervised freedom, and training, will help your foster dog's behavior to become trustworthy. However, you should be aware that there may be issues that will never be fully corrected.

* A home check will be done by one of our PTR Representatives and will be completed prior to a dog being placed with you.

THIS AGREEMENT AND YOUR CONTRACT MUST BE SIGNED, EITHER BY HAND OR ELECTRONICALLY for them to be accepted. A typed signature will not be acceptable.

***PLEASE NOTE*** All fields labeled with a * require an answer or the application will not be complete and will not forward to PTR when you hit send.
