Please indicate your understanding and agreement with the following statements.

I understand that RPM has a contract to transport pets from BARC and other partner shelters.  We are NOT an intake or local adoption organization. Not only will we lose our relationship with the City and other shelter partners if we transport non-partner pets, there are too many factors that go into whether we would even be able to find rescue for a found pet. Therefore, if you find a stray pet, please understand that we cannot take that pet into our program. We will do our best to give you advice on what to do with a found pet, but we are unable to take it into our transport program.

I understand that RPM does NOT make any guarantees regarding the age, nature, behavior, temperament, or health of dogs and cats in RPM's foster program.  I understand that dogs and cats in RPM's foster program come from a shelter setting and may have medical conditions that could be contagious to other pets or people and that RPM is not in any way responsible for any damages or costs that I may incur as a result in accordance with the below release.

I understand that I am solely responsible for the care of my foster dog/cat and I must not allow anyone else to care for them ("re-foster") without first emailing RPM's foster coordinators at fostercoordinator@rescuedpetsmovment.org for dogs and cats@rescuedpetsmovement.org for cats and receiving their prior written consent prior to transferring my foster to a third party.
Please indicate your understanding and agreement to this policy by typing “YES” in the following blank: *
RPM estimates it has at least $1500.00 invested in each dog or cat in our program which represents a fair, reasonable and appropriate estimate of damages to RPM for your foster dog or cat should you fail to release the foster dog or cat back to RPM on or before it's travel date or upon RPM's request. You agree that if you fail to return your foster pet(s) for their transport date or upon RPM's request, you will immediately compensate RPM $1500.00 in liquidated damages for each foster pet you failed to return to RPM to be paid on its website.  You agree such payment is a fair and reasonable amount for failing to return your foster pet(s) to RPM.  If you fail to return your foster pet(s) to RPM and your foster pet(s) is not yet spayed or neutered, microchipped or up to date on all shots, you agree that you are responsible for all ongoing medical care, spay/neuter, microchip and any future medical care of the foster pet(s) you kept and agree to promptly send evidence that the above.
Please indicate your understanding and agreement that your RPM foster pet must be returned to RPM by typing “YES” in the following blank: *
Please read the following carefully and indicate your consent to follow this no-exceptions policy.

The pets you foster with RPM cannot be adopted. RPM is not an adoption organization and is not set up to handle returns and the other responsibilities that come with adopting out pets. We understand the attachment foster parents have with their foster pets, and we are thankful that you care so much. However, we place our partner relationships at risk when we attempt to keep a promised pet in Houston. This policy is not a reflection on how we feel about you as a foster; we promise it is not personal. It is a policy that must be enforced if RPM is to remain successful. If you feel you will not be able to let go of your foster at the end of his or her time with you, we advise you that fostering for RPM is most likely not a good match. At the end of their stay with you, these pets must be placed on the van and transported to their destination.
Please indicate your understanding and agreement to this policy by typing “YES” in the following blank: *

IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF ME AND RPM THAT THE RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED HEREIN IS DESIGNED AND INTENDED TO PROTECT RPM AND ALL RPM RELATED PARTIES FROM ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY CLAIMS, IN EACH CASE, OF ANY KIND WHETHER ARISING FROM TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE,  OR ANY OTHER LEGAL CLAIMS BY ME, ANY FOSTER RELATED PARTIES OR OTHERS AND FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION OR NEGLIGENCE, FAULT, OTHER MISCONDUCT  OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF RPM OR ANY RPM RELATED PARTY CONCERNING ANY PET I MAY FOSTER, MY VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES OR OTHERWISE.

I FUTHER UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY SIGNING THIS RELEASE, HOLD HARMELESS AND INDEMNIFICATION THAT I KNOWINGLY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FOSTERING AND VOLUNTEERING FOR RPM.  I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT RPM AND ANY RPM RELATED PARTY DO NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR OR OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER ASSISTANCE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MEDICAL, HEALTH, DISABILITY OR PROPERTY INSURANCE IN THE EVENT OF ANY INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

I have carefully considered my decision, the benefits and risks involved and hereby give my informed consent to participate in all volunteer activities, including fostering a pet, for RPM.  I voluntarily agree with the above provisions.  It is my intent to bind my heirs, next of kin, personal representatives, and executors to the above provisions.
