I certify by signing this document that I am currently 18 years or older and the information I have provided in this application is true and complete. I understand and agree that by fostering, I become a volunteer and representative of Rescue Angels of Southern Maryland and must conduct myself in a professional manner (especially on social media) and understand I must represent the organization positively at all times. If I decide I no longer wish to be a representative of the organization, I will promptly notify the Foster Coordinator and work with the Coordinator to return any and all property, as well as ensure that the pet I am fostering is safely transferred to another foster home at the direction of the Foster Coordinator. I also understand that Rescue Angels of Southern Maryland has the right to remove/relinquish a representative or volunteer at any time. I understand that Rescue Angels of Southern Maryland can remove an animal from my care at any time. I understand that Rescue Angels of Southern Maryland is committed to providing routine veterinary care to every animal prior to adoption. If there is an emergency of if I think the animal needs medical attention, I will work with the Foster Coordinator first to get an appointment with a contracted veterinarian with Rescue Angels. Rescue Angels cannot reimburse or cover costs outside of this agreement. I understand that if I have any issues during my commitment as a foster parent that I will communicate with Rescue Angels and work with them to resolve any issues. Upon request by a representative of Rescue Angels of Southern Maryland, I will return the foster pet(s) to Rescue Angels of Southern Maryland. I understand and agree that I make no decisions to transfer the pet to another organization or person and the pet(s) will remain the property of the Rescue Angels of Southern Maryland at all times. I understand and agree that I will not advertise or place the pet in a home without the authorization of Rescue Angels. All adoption applications and adoption decisions are at the discretion of the Rescue Angels Adoption Coordinators. I understand and agree that I am only authorized to temporarily foster the pet(s), and if I wish to adopt that pet(s), I must complete an adoption application and go through the adoption process. Please type your initials. *
