Our dogs remain in foster care until satisfactory homes are found. If a dog exhibits behavioral problems aside from animal vs human aggression while in your care, we will support you in every way possible. However, we cannot remove the dog from your home immediately for other behavioral issues. Many of our mainstay foster families have multiple animals in their home at any given time, or animals with special needs, and are unable to accept another on short notice. By submitting this application, you agree and understand that you will be asked to remain a foster until a suitable replacement is found. If you refuse to keep the dog you committed to foster, you will be placed on our Do Not Foster/Do Not Adopt list which is shared with other rescue organizations. Fostering surrendered, abused, and/or neglected animals is a serious commitment. The number of animals we're able to save directly corresponds to the number of available foster homes we have. We are more than willing to work with our fosters should unexpected personal circumstances arise, but we simply don't have the resources to redistribute our rescue dogs as a result of broken foster commitments.

BY SIGNING BELOW, I CERTIFY THE INFORMATION PROVIDED WITHIN THIS APPLICATION IS TRUE AND CORRECT. I UNDERSTAND BY COMPLETING THIS APPLICATION, IT IS NOT A PROMISE OR GUARANTEE OF APPROVAL. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF I HAVE PROVIDED ANY FALSE INFORMATION OR I HAVE NOT COMPLETELY ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS THIS APPLICATION WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DENIED. IF AT A LATER DATE ANY INFORMATION THAT I HAVE PROVIDED IS FOUND TO BE INACCURATE I UNDERSTAND THAT I MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE DEACON'S HOPE RESCUE AND FORFEIT ANY FOSTER ANIMALS CURRENTLY IN MY CARE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IF AT ANY TIME I DO NOT ADHERE TO THE STATEMENTS THAT I HAVE MADE ABOVE I MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE AS WELL. I GIVE PERMISSION TO DEACON'S HOPE RESCUE TO CONTACT MY VETERINARIAN TO VERIFY MY DISCLOSED INFORMATION WITHIN THIS APPLICATION.
