 QUESTIONS FOR ALL FOSTERS

Should your foster animal require vetwork, are you willing to take the animal to the nearest approved Paw Placement vet partner? All appointments will be made at your convenience, as is reasonable.   Yes           No

Homeless animals come from unknown circumstances. Even if they are normally well-behaved dogs and cats, there may be behavioral issues to work through as the animal adjusts to your home. This is an important reality with fostering. How do you feel about this and how experienced are you with dog and/or cat behavior?

Paw Placement has guidelines for training and behavior modification. With the introduction of a foster dog or cat into your home, these methods may need to be applied to your own pets. Are you willing to use the methods we recommend with your animals?     Yes           No

Paw Placement routinely arranges a home visit with new fosters and adoptive homes. The goal is not to check on cleanliness or housekeeping, but to make sure that the home is or could be compatible with a rescue dog or cat. The yard is checked to make sure it is securely fenced, the sleeping area for the animal is inspected and any training necessary is discussed.

Are you willing to have a home visit prior to fostering?   Yes        No
