We are very grateful for our foster to adopt (FTA) homes! Please look over our FTA agreement and sign at the bottom. We look forward to working with you. Foster to adopt families like you help us save many more lives than we could without you, while allowing the animal to be in their new home as they await adoption finalization.

Initial

Each foster animal is the sole property of Lake Lowell Animal Rescue (LLAR) until the adoption contract is signed and payment is received. This cannot be done prior to being instructed to do so by an LLAR representative.

Initial

Fosters must have completed the adoption application and approval process before they can be considered a foster to adopt home. If this step has not been completed prior to signing this agreement will be considered void!

Initial

Adoption fees will be collected when the Foster To Adopt week is over. However, the adoption may not be finalized until the animal has been altered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Instructions will be provided by an LLAR representative when the time come. Adoption fees must be paid in full at end of the Foster To Adopt period.

Initial

If adoption finalization is waiting on a medical procedure (spay/neuter, surgery, etc.) adoption fees are still to be collected at the end of the Foster To Adopt period. Adoption fees are how LLAR pays for surgeries and LLAR appreciates your cooperation in this regard.

Initial

Any medical treatment of alternative therapy must first be approved by LLAR. You may not take a foster to adopt animal to your own vet for any reason, unless prior authorization is obtained from the Director of Assistant Director.

Initial

Accidents or injuries that occur in the FTA home during the FTA period are the responsibility of the FTA family. Communication with LLAR in these cases is still required, and guidance will be provided by LLAR.

Initial

LLAR will take care of all vaccinations, rabies, spays/neuters and microchips for the foster to adopt animal during this time period. LLAR will make vet appointment arrangements and communicate those to the foster to adopt family. Failure to show up for any appointments, or following instructions on care, can result in the animal being required to be returned to LLAR's physical possession.

Initial

Transportation to and from vet appointments is expected to be handled by the foster to adopt family. LLAR will do everything in their power to provide adequate notice of these animals of these appointments in order to allow for appropriate planning.

Initial

LLAR strongly encourages the foster to adopt home to properly introduce personal pets/other foster animals to this new foster to adopt pet(s). Proper introduce can include, but are not limited to, brief periods of separation for cats, or on-leash/neutral territory for dogs. Further guidance can be provided upon request.

Initial

Although we attempt to ensure each animal is healthy, there is no way to guarantee animal health. LLAR does not take responsibility for other animals in the home and cannot provide medical care to pets other than LLAR animals.

Initial

If you decide not to adopt, for any reason, LLAR will take the foster pet back. However, we do ask for advanced notice, if possible, as making arrangements for a new placement will take time. This can range from a few days to a few weeks.

Initial

LLAR reserves the right to periodically check in to ensure no issues or problems have come up with the foster to adopt animal. It is the adopter's responsibility to reach out to an LLAR representative if any issues — medical or behavioral — arise between check-ins.

Initial

Failure to respond to check-in's or LLAR's communications can result in forfeiting the right to adopt the FTA animal.

Initial

If you decide during the FTA process that you are not going to adopt, any adoption inquiries regarding these animals need to be directed to Lake Lowell Animal Rescue. It is the Rescue's decision in final adoption choices. Foster to adopt homes are not allowed to place the animals into new homes, or give any assurances on placement, until LLAR has completed an approved application process.
