Animals are put into Hope Animal Rescue (HAR) foster care program because HAR does not have a shelter. I understand that some pets may never be adoptable. Before bringing a foster pet into my home, I agree to abide by the final decisions of HAR.

*1) I will surrender the pet to HAR when it is ready to be adopted, after meeting its physical and mental needs to the best of my ability.

Yes, I understand and agree to this term.

*2) I will surrender the pet upon request of HAR or if I feel I am no longer able to provide the care the pet needs.

Yes, I understand and agree to this term.

*3) If I have concerns, questions, or problems, I will immediately contact HAR for help. I will use all resources available from HAR to help benefit pets and to aid in finding its forever home.

Yes, I understand and agree to this term.

*4) I understand that by taking on the responsibility of a pet, I may incur some expenses for which I should not expect reimbursement unless I have received prior approval from a HAR representative.
