Foster families will follow all procedures and guidelines of The Kitimat Community Humane Society regarding the pet being placed in your foster home and will not make decisions or take actions regarding the pet's veterinary care or placement without prior approval from The Kitimat Community Humane Society.

The Veterinarians that are working with The Kitimat Community Humane Society will bill us directly for approved medical services provided to any of our foster pets. In the event the foster family pays for pre-approved veterinary care, The Kitimat Community Humane Society will reimburse the foster family.

The foster family will provide the pet with the necessary exercise and will not keep the pet chained or as an outside only pet.

The foster family agrees to provide the pet with adequate food, water, shelter, affection, socialization, exercise, medical assistance and strive to increase the adoptability of the pet.

If the pet cannot be kept by the foster family, the foster family is to contact The Kitimat Community Humane Society immediately. The pet shall not be sold, abandoned, relinquished to another person, shelter or rescue, they are to be returned to The Kitimat Community Humane Society.

The foster family understands that The Kitimat Community Humane Society and its representatives have limited information regarding the temperament of the pet or its habits. The foster family will take all reasonable precautions (through the use of crates, leashes, and supervision) to ensure the pet does not run loose, become a nuisance, destroy property, injure or be injured by another animal or injure or be injured by any person.

The pet is and shall remain the property of The Kitimat Community Humane Society and may be removed by The Kitimat Community Humane Society from the foster family at any time and without prior notice.

In the event the foster family wishes to permanently adopt the pet, a Kitimat Community Humane Society adoption application must be submitted along with the requested adoption fee.
