You willingly and knowingly agree to volunteer as a foster home for Fido's and agree to release and hold harmless their Board of Directors or any of their affiliates, and agree not to make a claim against them for any matters, now or in the future, which arise out of your services as a volunteer foster home.

It shall be understood that applications for fostering an animal through Fido's Companion Rescue are subject to acceptance based on the above review process that may require verifying information from the evaluation, including vet and/or personal reference check, and possibly a home visit. There might be times when requests for fostering will be denied for various reason(s). This is left to the discretion of Fido's officers after reviewing the above information. Fido's reserves the right to make all decisions regarding placement or final disposition of any rescued animal in its care into a foster or adoptive home. There is absolutely no guarantee made, or implied, that any person, or persons, requesting to adopt or foster an animal being fostered through Fido's, or posted on Fido's website, will be granted an adoption or approved as a foster home.
