Fostering a greyhound is a commitment to provide the safest environment possible for the dog. To ensure the safety and health of the greyhound, the following "Foster Requirements" must be complied with explicitly. Please do not consider fostering if you will not be able to adhere to these requirements.

FOSTER HOME REQUIREMENTS

It is vital to keep your foster greyhound on leash whenever it is outdoors, unless it is in a fenced-in area. NEVER "trust" it not to run away.

You must keep a collar and ID tag on the greyhound at all times.

If your foster should become lost, you are REQUIRED to notify MNGR immediately.

MNGR will schedule the following medical procedures for your foster: DHLPP, Rabies, Bortadella and Corona vaccinations, spay or neuter, Heart Worm test, teeth cleaning, polishing and any needed extractions, and worming. Your responsibilities may include transporting the foster for veterinary care when required.

You agree to allow potential adoptive families to visit the greyhound in your home where the dog is most comfortable.

You agree to participate in Meet & Greets with your foster dog, or make arrangements for the dog to attend with another volunteer so it can meet the public thus ensuring a better chance for it's adoption.

You agree to contact MNGR before obtaining any non-scheduled veterinary care for the greyhound, except in cases of emergency. You understand that if you do not contact MNGR prior to obtaining non-emergency veterinary care, you may not be reimbursed for the cost. You agree to obtain immediate veterinary care for the dog in cases of emergency.
