I understand that my references will be checked and that a rescue coordinator will visit my home.

I also understand that foster dogs are to remain on leash at all times and are never allowed in public places (dog parks, dog beaches, etc) off leash. Any and all injuries sustained to a dog, whether it be the foster dog or another dog, as a result of non-compliance of this rule is the sole responsibility of the foster.

I understand that foster dogs must be kept in crates at all times when not being supervised by the foster parent.

I understand that this form is for the sole purpose of registering to become a foster parent for ODAAT. I understand that submission of this completed form is not a guarantee that I will receive a foster dog or become an approved foster home for ODAAT. If my registration is approved, I will be required to sign a foster agreement.
