Basenji Rescue and Transport, Inc.
FOSTER CONTRACT
For official use only.
This is an agreement between the owners of the below described rescue
basenji, Basenji Rescue & Transport, Inc., (known herein as "BRAT,") and the
caretakers of the dog, ________________________________, (known herein as "the foster
home" or "the foster family.") In consideration of the mutual promises
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
The foster family understands and agrees to act as a foster
home for one or more dogs owned by BRAT, (referred herein singularly and collectively as
"the basenji" or "the dog.") These dogs are named:
____________________________.
The following conditions apply to fostering of BRAT's
basenjis while in the foster home's care and in their home. Please print out this form,
initial each clause individually, and sign and date the bottom of the form.
____ 1) Unless being walked on a leash, the
Basenji will be kept in the house or in a fenced yard on the grounds of the foster home at
all times during the day, or in the house, or in a heated dog house (depending on the
climate) at night.
____ 2) The basenji will remain the property of BRAT. The
animal will be surrendered to a representative of BRAT immediately on the request of an
officer of BRAT. No compensation or boarding fees will be paid by BRAT to the foster
family.
____ 3) The Basenji must be appropriately fed
and watered; housed in the foster home; and exercised outside in either in a secure,
fenced yard or walked on-leash.
____ 4) Veterinary care will be provided by BRAT as long as
prior approval is obtained. This includes vaccinations, heartworm testing and
preventative, altering and any prescription medications necessary for the basenji, for the
duration of the fostering period. The foster family shall be responsible for transporting
the dog to and from the vet for scheduled checkups and any other treatment necessary.
Transportation shall be at the foster home's expense.
____ 5) Upon request, the foster home may be compensated for
any expenses incurred in the normal daily care of the basenji. Expenditures incurred by
the foster family other than emergency care and treatment require prior approval by BRAT.
____ 6) The basenji is to be adopted to its permanent home
only under the supervision of BRAT to a family pre-approved by BRAT. Adoptive families may
be contacted by the foster family to inquire about the basenji. Often a foster family may
consider adopting the basenji. If the foster family wishes to adopt the basenji, it should
contact the BRAT coordinator and complete BRAT's adoption process.
____ 7) Questions or problems are to be directed to BRAT
officers. If there is a need to remove the basenji from the foster home, the basenji is to
be given directly to a representative of BRAT designated by a BRAT officer.
____ 8) The foster family accepts responsibility for any and
all events that occur in connection with the fostering of a rescue animal, including, but
not limited to, any damage to their home caused by the basenji or any liability for
actions of the basenji towards the family or any third parties. The foster family agrees
to release and indemnify BRAT from any and all claims, known and unknown, now or
hereafter, arising in connection with the basenji.
____ 9) BRAT believes it very important that the foster
family have a crate or other means of confinement available should the Foster Home need to
leave the basenji home alone. Basenjis left unrestrained can be very destructive. I/we,
the undersigned foster family, hereby specifically and forever release, discharge and hold
harmless Basenji Rescue & Transport, Inc., its agents, and all other persons, firms or
corporations charged or chargeable with liability, their heirs, administrators, executors,
successors and assigns, from any and all claims, damages, costs, expenses, loss of
service, actions and causes of action belonging to the said persons fostering this
basenji, arising out of any act or occurrence from the present time, and particularly on
account of the fostering of the basenji described above.
