Shore Animal Volunteer Enterprise aka S.A.V.E. supplies a foster care program for animals that are not immediately adoptable. I understand fully that this animal(s) is\are temporarily in my care and belongs exclusively to S.A.V.E. I further understand that the purpose of this foster relationship is solely to provide care for this\these animal(s). Any determination made about this animal(s) must be approved by a designated S.A.V.E. representative within the organization.
I understand that when the animal(s) is ready to be available for adoption, I will bring it back to S.A.V.E. for placement (all animals fostered by foster parents are the property of the S.A.V.E. and will remain so until adopted). Any and all placements will be made through the S.A.V.E. and are subject to the same guidelines as any other adoption, and all fees apply. Foster parents are encouraged to assist in the placement process of their foster animal(s). If you have any questions, please contact Joan Duffy. I agree to these terms and conditions.

Please Read-Important Information
*All fosters must be local since we need to work closely together for Vet visit’s, supply drop off’s and potential adopters to view.
*S.A.V.E. will not allow animals with communicable diseases to be fostered.
*S.A.V.E. will make provisions for all medical services and will reimburse for all reasonable supplies. We ask you call us before purchasing anything or calling a Vet.
*Animals are only fostered on a temporary basis until they are weaned or medically cleared to be found a permanent home.
*All adopters must follow S.A.V.E.’s adoption procedures.
* If you have children they need to be old enough and responsible enough to respect an animal.
*Cat’s/kittens must be kept indoors. Dogs/puppies must be leashed when outdoors or in an enclosed area.
*The area the animal is to be kept must be suitable. Example: Free of clutter, debris and garbage. Area must be heated /free of drafts or in the summer kept cool. Area should be quiet and isolated from all other animals in home.
*If you have other pets, S.A.V.E. requests proof stating your animals are UTD on shots. Please note: If your animal is UTD on vaccines and the foster is kept isolated from your pets there should not be any cross contamination should the foster become sick in your care. S.A.V.E. cannot be responsible for any medical expenses incurred by cross contamination. However, S.A.V.E. will try to help and assist if funds are available.
*Even though we do not recommend fosters keeping the pet for themselves because it might be difficult to foster again and fosters are precious to us. They do have the first rights for adoption as long as they follow S.A.V.E. adoption procedure.
*In any emergency situation contact S.A.V.E. and we will immediately pick up the animal.
