| 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.
