I, the Foster Care provider named above, understand that Lab Rescue OK, Inc., its members, and representatives, have no way of guaranteeing the actions or disposition of any dog released to them and placed into Foster Care with me. I understand that every effort has been made to assess the disposition of dogs released to Lab Rescue, Inc. beforehand but, being living animals, they may act unpredictably in any given situation and that I as the keeper of the dog must take necessary precautions to prevent accidents and guard against unpredicted actions by this dog. Further, I promise to take adequate care of this dog while it is in my possession providing food, water, and shelter as needed by a dog of this size and condition. I also promise to notify Lab Rescue OK, Inc. if the dog is in need of any veterinary care such as vaccinations, routine testing and refill of heartworm preventive or treatment for illness so that this care can be provided in a timely manner. At no time will I allow this dog to be nuisance to people or other animals. To that end I will keep it confined in a fenced yard or kennel run or inside a house or garage when it is not with me or a member of my family. At no time will the dog be placed outside on a tie-out unless under the direct supervision of a responsible adult. When off of my property, the dog will be kept on a leash unless it is in a fenced area approved for free running dogs (commonly referred to as a "dog park"). (Note: Lab Rescue OK, Inc. recommends the use of an airline approved dog crate for confinement inside the house, which they can provide for you.) I understand that Fostering a dog for Lab Rescue, Inc. is not the same as Adopting a dog from them and that this dog must be made available to prospective owners referred by Lab Rescue OK, Inc. for viewing for possible permanent adoption. If I wish to adopt a dog which I foster, then I must notify the Lab Rescue OK, Inc. and work out a separate agreement with them.
