FOSTER-TO-ADOPT Agreement Form

The goal of this agreement is to allow loving families to welcome rescue pets into their home
sooner rather than later and to ensure these pets will be spayed or neutered as soon as they
are old enough or healthy enough. Pet over-population is a tragic occurrence in our society and
we want to do all we can to prevent euthanasia and suffering we see in shelters across the
country.

Thank YOU for choosing to adopt!

The Animals In Need Fund Foster-to-Adopt Program was created to place unaltered cats or
dogs into approved forever homes in a foster scenario prior to official adoption. The Foster-to-Adopt
Program allows approved applicants to welcome an unaltered pet into their home until the animal is
old enough or healthy enough to be spay/neutered by a licensed veterinarian with the Nipomo
Dog and Cat Hospital. If the Foster-to-Adopt family is accepted, they will foster the cat or dog until
they have been spayed/neutered, then the adoption contract can be finalized.

In order to be accepted into this program, Foster-to-Adopt applicants must have an approved
foster application. In addition, applicants must sign this Foster to Adopt Agreement, which
requires compliance with all of the Foster-to-Adopt terms and conditions, including the adoption
procedures.

As a Temporary Foster Home for AINF, with the intention of adopting the fostered cat or dog, I agree to comply with the following conditions and requirements:

1. The pet is and shall remain under the care of AINF Program until they are spayed/neutered or ready for final adoption and the adoption is finalized. If for any reason the adoption is not finalized, I understand that upon the request of AINF Program, the pet shall be relinquished back to AINF Program and the adoption fee

may be refunded.

2. I will provide the pet with proper care, including but not limited to, proper food, fresh water, shelter, exercise, grooming, training and medication when required.

3. I will comply with all instructions received from the AINF Program and will not deviate from any instructions as to the care and maintenance of the pet without first consulting with a representative of the AINF Program.

4. I agree to maintain the animal as my own household pet and companion.

5. I agree not to abandon, trade, give away, or sell the pet. If I no longer desire to or am

unable to keep the pet within the terms of this agreement, the pet must be returned to

AINF Program. The pet is NEVER to be turned over to an animal shelter or passed to another owner.

7. I agree to keep the pet under my control and not let the pet roam freely outside of the

home. Cats or kittens must be kept indoors.

8. I will provide a safe and loving home environment.

9. I agree to the following in regard to veterinary care:

a. I understand that AINF Program is providing appropriate veterinary care to date and is in good health except for the following medical conditions about which I have been

informed: (applies only to pets with special needs)

b. If the pet needs medical attention, a member of AINF Program must be contacted

immediately and must approve all vet visits. Said visit must be with one of AINF Program’s approved vets with whom we work. If FOSTER takes foster pet to an unapproved veterinary hospital for any reason, FOSTER agrees to be responsible for all medical bills incurred as a result of said unapproved vet visit, except in cases of

emergency when the pet’s life may be in danger.

c. AINF Program will make arrangements for spay/neuter surgery and I agree that I will take this pet to their spay/neuter appointment and for any other necessary veterinary care as directed by AINF Program unless other arrangements have been made by mutual agreement. There are no exceptions to the requirement that the animal must be spayed/neutered before adoption is complete.

10. When the pet has been spayed/neutered, the adoption contract can be approved and

any necessary veterinary records/adoption folder will be provided to me. I agree that I

am responsible for the cost of any veterinary care after this adoption is complete.

11. This agreement is not transferable. If I am unable to care for the pet, I will immediately

return the animal to the AINF Program.

12. I give permission to AINF to enter upon my premises at anytime upon reasonable

notice for the purpose of determining whether or not I am complying with this

Agreement, and to remove the pet, in the event that I violate the terms of this

Agreement.

13. I agree not to attempt to hold the AINF Program with C.A.R.E.4Paws responsible for any damages which the pet may do to any person or property. I specifically release AINF Program with C.A.R.E.4Paws of any responsibility pertaining to any damage to property or personal injury or any occurrence relating to the pet and shall hold AINF Program with C.A.R.E.4Paws harmless regarding any damage or injury(ies) of any nature whatsoever, and agree to notify AINF Program immediately of any damages and/or injury(ies).
