*
- I understand that my role is solely as a temporary home, and that although my opinion regarding the match between the foster dog and potential adopters is very important, the ultimate placement of any dogs I foster will be conducted by NYCSR. It is NYCSR's responsibility to review and interview potential adopters.
*
- I will remember in all my dealings with the public as a foster volunteer that I represent NYCSR, and that the public will consider my words and actions to be representative of the attitudes and positions of NYCSR as an organization. I understand that as an individual, I am not authorized to speak for NYCSR, nor can I enter into any agreements for NYCSR; any such activity will be referred to the Board of Directors.
*
- I have read, understand and support the mission of NYCSR.
*
- I understand that I am personally responsible for any and all financial expenses that I incur in my efforts to foster dogs for NYCSR. Although NYCSR may reimburse my expenses, I agree that each expense must be supported by receipts, must be pre-approved by the Foster Program Director, and that any expense over $200 for a single dog must also be preapproved by the Board of Directors. I accept full responsibility for any expenses incurred by me that fall outside of approved expenditures. I will always remember that I represent a nonprofit organization and in no way can profit from any activity related to the organization.
*
- I agree to not leave an NYCSR foster dog in anyone else’s care unless that person is approved to Foster by the Foster Program Director or other NYCSR Board member
*
- I agree to not take any other dogs into my care or home – short or long term – during the time I am actively fostering for NYCSR without written approval from NYCSR.
*
- I understand that NYCSR cannot guarantee or be held responsible for the temperament, behavior, or health of foster dogs that I may handle. I am aware that foster dogs may cause damage to my personal property, other pets, and humans. I will keep dogs securely contained at all times while in my care.
*
- I understand that it is my decision to foster dogs for NYCSR. I will not hold NYCSR liable for any damage, injury or harm caused directly or indirectly through my fostering activities with NYCSR. I carry insurance coverage in the event of personal or liability damages resulting from fostering dogs for NYCSR.
*
- I understand that my foster volunteer position will be terminated if my conduct is deemed in opposition of the mission of NYCSR, or detrimental to the best interests of the dog(s) in my care or of NYCSR.
*
- I understand and agree to all of the above, and support the mission of NYCSR. I understand that this form must be received and approved by NYCSR before I may volunteer for the organization, and that NYCSR reserves the right to refuse my application.
