In unusual circumstances, they could also be carrying viruses such as parvo or distemper. This is why it is important that all your animals be up-to-date on their vaccinations AND deworming.

Purpose:
Our organization houses our canine, feline and other friends in foster families, rather than in a central shelter. Our goal is to have the animals socialized within a family setting. All animals are kept in foster care for a minimum two weeks to ensure that they are healthy and free of disease.
What Infinite Woofs Animal Rescue Supplies:
We supply the food and veterinary care for each animal in our care. When animals first arrive in the rescue, they are taken whenever possible to a vet clinic for examination and vaccination, deworming and advice on care. We supply donated blankets, crates and other supplies such as food dishes and toys when they are available. We also supply shampoo, conditioners, special medicated shampoo if necessary, and medication if needed. Foster parents are guided through
the adoption process and are supplied with adoption forms and other screening tools.
What Foster Parents Supply:
Foster families supply transportation to the approved Vet Clinics and back to their homes when picking up animals or taking them for medical care. Although food is supplied, generally foster parents pick it up at the coordinator’s home, or a mutually agreeable pick up is arranged.
Waiver *
I personally guarantee that my resident pets are up-to-date with vaccinations are in good health. Infinite Woofs Animal Rescue will not be held responsible for any damage brought to the house or inhabitants as a result of my decision to foster an animal.
