NOTE:  When available, donated food and supplies are provided to foster volunteer members upon request.  Veterinary care is provided by Dreampower.  If medical care is needed, the Foster Coordinator MUST be contacted in order to authorize and ensure that veterinary care is provided by Dreampower veterinarians.

 

I understand that in signing this application to become a foster home, the waiver I signed when filling out my volunteer application is in full force and applicable in my efforts as a foster care home.  I also agree to be kind and loving to any foster animal that I take into my care, and agree to notify Dreampower Animal Rescue Foundation of any changes in the animal or my personal situation that may affect the care of the animal.  I also agree to conduct an honest evaluation of the animal and report both good and bad habits that I discover about the animal for adoption purposes.
