Check all that apply.

Very quiet, I rarely see people or dogs.

Some foot traffic I can avoid dogs, people, and cars.

I encounter a lot of people on my walking route.

I encounter well-behaved, leashed dogs on my walking route.

My neighborhood has a lot of barking dogs behind fences.

My neighborhood has a lot of unavoidable stimulation.

I understand that DCLA will suggest a foster dog for me based on fit first and then take into account any breed or aesthetic preferences.

Got it!

All foster dogs need to learn things such as house, crate, leash walking and may bark, cry, or have accidents in the house at first. *

Understood!

Fostering is about helping a dog get out of the shelter and into a home, it requires work, patience, consistency, and compassion! I can make it to at least 4 leash walking classes and regularly attend weekly zoom check-ins until the team feels my foster dog is settled. *

Able and willing to do the work!

I shall indemnify and hold harmless DCLA and its successors and assigns (and its and their officers, directors, employees, sublicensees, agents and volunteers) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, settlements, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of the performance of or with relation to any of the work or services to be performed of furnished by this agreement, including, without limitation, any third-party claims relating to any injury or illness associated with services. *

I agree that everything I have stated herein is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and that I am bound to the terms of this agreement.

It is very common for dogs to have viruses or parasites in the shelter, so we highly recommend that dogs get a fecal test soon after they leave the shelter (especially if there are multiple dogs in the home). Negative fecal tests are also required for the dog to attend any playgroups. At our reduced rate, the tests are usually approximately $60. *

I will plan to do it and can cover the cost.

Declining to do the fecal test and understand the health risks and limited participation to program.
