Foster Family Agreement

I want to help Circle Tail, Inc. raise well-socialized, well-mannered dogs. As a Circle Tail Foster Family/Parent, I agree to adhere to all the regulations and requirements of Circle Tail. I will foster the dog for periods of time as determined by Circle Tail and me. While the dog is in my care, I will follow the guidelines in the Foster Family Manual, socialize the dog to as many sights, sounds, people, and places as possible, reinforce the commands the dog already knows, reinforce good house manners, and report to Circle Tail the outcome of the dog's outings. The Circle Tail staff will be able to assist me with any concerns or problems I may have while fostering the dog.

The following are regulations, responsibilities and commitments of a Circle Tail Dog Foster Family:

• The dog I am fostering belongs to Circle Tail, Inc.
• I will be financially responsible for treats and toys for the dog while s/he is in my home.
• I will give the dog love and attention.
• I will foster the dog in my house and depending on age and behavior, the dog will sleep in a crate or on the floor in the bedroom or as discussed/approved by Circle Tail. I will not allow the dog to sleep on the bed at any time.
• The dog will have house training and in-house etiquette consistently reinforced. I will not allow the dog on any furniture, to beg for food, to jump on people at any time, or to mouth people. I will not allow any "rough housing" with the dog, playing tug-of-war, or chasing of the dog.
• I will only allow the dog to interact/play with other pets under supervision.
• I will familiarize the dog with people of all ages and varied places and sounds. I will work on confidence in new situations and calm greetings with new people.
• I will use only toys approved by Circle Tail.
• I will feed the dog according to Circle Tail specifications, and I will not feed the dog any table food or allow him/her to become overweight.
• I will reinforce the dog being handled for grooming, teeth brushing and nail trimming.
• I will walk the dog regularly on a loose leash and not allow the dog to pull on the leash.
• I will not allow the dog to be off leash outside unless in a safe, fenced in yard. I also will not tie the dog outside unattended.
• I will notify Circle Tail immediately if any injury or illness should occur while the dog is in my care. I will obtain emergency veterinary care for the dog if necessary.
• I hold Circle Tail harmless for any property damage or personal injury caused by the foster dog while he/she is in my care.

The information on my application is true and accurate. I have read the above information and agree to these responsibilities and understand them.  I also understand that if this agreement is not adhered to, the puppy/ dog may be removed from the premises and placed elsewhere.  

Please acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to the foster family conditions by typing "YES" in the following box:
