By sending this form to the Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California I agree that:

 

  1. All of the information provided is true and complete to the best of my knowledge.
  2. I understand that many Basset Hounds in need of fostering will be of unknown background and temperament, and may have been exposed to kennel cough or other contagious diseases, therefore I will keep my own dogs current on all vaccinations. I am financially and physically able to undertake the care of a Basset Hound. I understand that I will be reimbursed for pre-approved expenses related to fostering.
  3. If the foster situation doesn't work out for any reason, I agree to return the dog to the Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California, to be moved to another foster home or kennel.
