ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: I am at least 18 years of age. I will carefully review all of Franklin County Dog Shelter's (FCDS) communications and dog foster resources, including the Dog Foster Handbook, and abide by the rules and responsibilities set forth therein. I understand and acknowledge that FCDS Foster Program’s mission is as follows: The Foster Program is created to provide quality welfare to otherwise adoptable dogs which will benefit from care outside of the shelter environment and in a home setting. Our objective is responsibly increasing the shelter’s live release rate, promoting community involvement, and providing the most appropriate progressive standard of care to those dogs needing additional resources. *
Please review our current foster agreement form, which will be gone over with you in person as well, prior to committing to fostering. https://forms.gle/F6XLRQ7FEMiDT2XF6 *
