The following provisions are to be agreed upon if you are selected as a foster parent to a GABR basset. GABR will send you a copy of the agreement for your signature.

I agree to give foster care and shelter to a rescued Basset Hound for a limited period. I understand that Guardian Angel Basset Rescue has no, or little, prior knowledge of its temperament, and I therefore will take all due care to protect myself and others who may come in contact with this dog. I will not hold Guardian Angel Basset Rescue responsible for property damage or harm to persons caused by this dog while it is in my care.

I understand that Guardian Angel Basset Rescue will be responsible for the following basic veterinary care; spay/neuter, rabies, distemper/parvo/corona, bordetella, fecal and heartworm tests. Authorization by a Guardian Angel Basset Rescue agent will be necessary for the other types of treatment. I agree to use a veterinarian from the approved list furnished by Guardian Angel Basset Rescue. In case of a life threatening emergency, the dog will be given necessary care and Guardian Angel Basset Rescue will be notified immediately thereafter.

I understand that the Guardian Angel Basset Rescue will not be responsible for injury or illness contracted by any dogs not belonging to Guardian Angel Basset Rescue. I agree that the dog(s) I am fostering will not be removed from my address or disposed of in any way without prior approval of Guardian Angel Basset Rescue.

I agree to be responsible for my foster's health records and to evaluate the dog's behavior and temperament in order to assist in a successful adoption.

I agree to talk with potential owners approved by the adoption committee and be able to act as a Guardian Angel Basset Rescue agent in the actual adoption.

If my foster becomes lost, I will call Fran Gray at 708-758-7455 immediately. I will leave someone by the phone in case the dog has been found.

I understand that as a foster home I will work together with the adoption coordinator concerning the adoption of my foster. If I decide to adopt my foster, I will notify Guardian Angel Basset Rescue at once.
