Foster till Adoption

Why should I become a foster parent?
We believe that the abandoned and abused animals that enter our rescue deserve to have the best possible chance at finding a loving, permanent home. A foster parent has one of the most important jobs at the rescue. Foster parents allow our animals to receive the proper care and attention they deserve as they wait for adoption.

•Foster animals are temporary companions offering their love freely
•You'll be helping to socialize a shelter animal so they become more adoptable and better companions
•You can put that spare bedroom to good use
•You'll delight at the smiles on the faces of the family that adopts your foster animal and possibly make new friends along the way
•Fostering helps you explore many different breeds of dogs and cats to help you decide which traits you'd like in your next companion animal
•If for some reason you can't keep a full-time companion animal, fostering for short time periods is an ideal solution
•You'll know that you're making a huge difference in the lives of your fosters

Foster care volunteers provide temporary care for kittens, puppies, dogs and cats. Some animals may only need a home for several days, while others may need several months of care. By offering your time, Very young kitten energy, and home to an animal in need, you prepare an animal for adoption into a permanent home as well as prevent overcrowding in our shelter. RePets is always looking for foster families to help save more animal lives.

Foster candidates are carefully matched with foster homes according to the candidate's special needs and the foster parent's abilities. Whether you work full time or you spend most of your time at home, we'll help match you with a foster animal that fits your lifestyle.

Many foster parents have companion animals of their own. We recommend that foster parents keep their own companion animals isolated from their foster animals. A separate room or enclosed area with no carpet works best for a foster animal. For example, a warm spare bedroom or laundry room is an excellent place to foster a cat or kittens.

FOSTER PARENT CONTRACT RePets Animal Rescue supplies a foster care program for animals that are not immediately adoptable. I understand fully that this animal(s) is\are temporarily in my care and belong exclusively to RePets. I further understand that the purpose of this foster relationship is solely to provide care for this\these animal(s). Any determination made about this animal(s) must be approved by a designated RePets representative within the organization. I understand that when the animal(s) is ready to be available for adoption, I will bring it back to RePets for placement (all animals fostered by foster parents are the property of RePets and will remain so until adopted). Any and all placements will be made through RePets and are subject to the same guidelines as any other adoption, and all fees apply. Foster parents are encouraged to assist in the placement process of their foster animal(s). Foster parents understand that the RePets cannot guarantee placement of all foster animals. Under extreme circumstances some foster animals may be euthanized due to health or behavior issues. RePets will make every attempt to save an animal if additional care is needed. NOT FOLLOWING THE POLICIES OR PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN DISCONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE RePets FOSTER CARE PROGRAM.
By placing my online signature here, I agree to the above contract:
