I have read and understand the concept of EARS Foster to Adopt (FTA) program *

Some things you will need to know.... The young pets will have started the vaccination process while in their foster home but it is up to you as the future adopter to make appointments and take your pet to the vet for all necessary vaccine boosters and vet care. (Please ask when the next booster is due if the information hasn't already been provided). All puppies and kittens under 4 months of age require 3 sets of DAPP vaccinations plus a rabies vaccination to be fully vaccinated. It is very important to keep these appointments as missing one can mean having to start vaccinations over, which can be costly to the rescue and may put the pet at risk for contracting preventable disease. It is also your responsibility to inform your EARS contact person of appointments made or missed. *

*EARS covers costs (at our partner vets) of all vaccines, de-worming, spay/neuter, and emergency visits. All other vet visits, procedures, and tests will require permission in advance from the Board of Directors. *

Best method to contact you: *

Reason for Foster to Adopt (FTA) *

Please check your preferences *

Are their any bylaws in your area that will limit the amount/type/breed of pet you are allowed at your residence or in your town/county/province? *

Edson Animal Rescue Society reviews and processes Foster to Adopt applications on a first come, first serve basis. Incomplete applications are subject to being delayed for approval or dismissed without notice on the occasion where multiple applications are received for a single pet who is available for foster to adopt. Do you agree to ensure that your application is complete and all questions are answered honestly and to the best of your ability? *

Thank you for taking the time to fill out this foster to adopt application. We want to ensure that all of our animals find their forever home and we appreciate your patience during the adoption process. Please understand that animals who come into our care may come from unknown origin and background. Some animals have been abused, neglected or have been in foster care for some time. We cannot guarantee that the animal's behavior will not change once in your care. EARS will try to gather as much information as possible to make the transition as easy as possible. The animals's behavior and traits are based through observation only at times. Age, breed and health are only based on the history that the previous owners, rescue or spay/neuter clinic have supplied to the best of their abilities. If there is something noticeable or if a vet finds something on a wellness check, EARS with provide funds for care and vetting as long as the animal is in our care. EARS will not knowingly adopt out a sick or injured animal or one with extremely severe behavioral issues without first providing full disclosure about the animals and ensuring that the animal goes to an appropriate home with the experience and resources to care for such an animal. Adopting an animal is a serious commitment. Cats and Dogs can live for 10+ years and we would like to ensure all adoptive applicants are aware of, will and able to accept the physical, emotional, and financial responsibilities of pet ownership for the life of the pet. Please check the box below to signify that you have read and understand this statement *

Please check the following

Once adopted, If for any reason I am unable to keep my foster to adopt animal and I find a new home for the animal, I agree to inform EARS of the change of ownership and I will provide contact information from the new owner. If I cannot find another loving home for the adopted animal, I agree to surrender the animal back to EARS. I understand that I may be charged a surrender fee. *

I agree to be solely responsible for any damage caused to any person, animal or property by my adopted animal. I hereby waive Edson Animal Rescue Society (EARS) and its representatives of responsibility unless found to be negligent. *
