Fostering an Animal

Approved foster caregivers make a contract agreement with Second Chance for temporary care of the animal(s). The agreement is based on the animal’s needs, may or may not define a specific time frame for the foster care, and spells out responsibilities of both you and Second Chance.

You shelter and care for the animal. You agree to take it to the vet for scheduled appointments. Second Chance remains the owner of the animal, assumes full responsibility for all medical care and the animal comes back to Second Chance at the end of the foster care period.

Acknowledgment of shelter foster policy
I agree that Second Chance Sheltering Network, Inc. will determine the criteria for fostering, decide which animals will be fostered and appoint foster care providers from an approved list. I understand that once I am approved as a foster home, I may refuse any specific request for a foster animal without any explanation. I understand that Second Chance will have the right to limit the amount of foster animals in my care and can terminate “for no cause” at any time my foster care status. Second Chance will inform me of any medical treatments to be given, the expected length of foster care needed if immediately known, the objectives of the care (restoring to health, rearing to adoptable age, etc) and any other expectations felt to be relevant. As a foster care provider, I am expected to keep the animal safe and secure, return it to Second Chance when requested, and not promise this animal to anyone. Adoptions can only be arranged through Second Chance.
