Declaration
Thank you for filling in the above information. The more accurate the information the better we can match the best foster dog to your home. Unfortunately there is the realisation that not all dogs can be saved, especially larger breeds like German Shepherds. As a foster carer it is hard but a realisation that some dogs may need to be euthanised while in your care. This may be due to aggression, age, or severe illness. This decision will not be made lightly and will be consulted upon with all the details provided. However the decision to euthanasia will be solely up to the team at Sweet Shepherd Rescue Australia. This needs to be understood.
Agreement
*
I UNDERSTAND
Your opinion is very valued as a foster carer. We understand you spend a large amount of time and effort with your foster. That is why we take all your information about the dogs needs, behaviour and temperament very seriously. However the ultimate placement and decision of adoption is solely decided upon by Sweet Shepherd Rescue Australia.
Agreement
*
I UNDERSTAND
If accepted I will remember in all my dealings with the public as a foster volunteer that members of the public will consider my words and actions to be representative of the attitude and position of the Sweet Shepherd Rescue team. As a member of this team I will uphold all morals and ethics expected of me.
Agreement
*
I UNDERSTAND
If accepted I will need to sign a foster carers agreement form which in more detail stipulates my obligations and requirements as a foster carer for Sweet Shepherd Rescue Australia team.
Agreement
*
I UNDERSTAND
I have answered all the above questions truthfully and completely to the best of my understanding and knowledge. I also understand that the Sweet Shepherd Rescue Australia team will do the best they can to screen shepherds for foster care, however we make no guarantee to the dogs behaviour, temperament, health or other actions it displays while in your care. I understand that I can refuse or return a foster dog at any time that I have been asked to care for. I will receive foster dogs at my own risk as German Shepherds like most dogs can be unpredictable and behaviour can not be assured. I may be asked to sign this form at a later date with the other agreements.
