Read the following carefully.

I declare that the information I have provided in this application is complete and correct. I further declare that I am financially and physically able to care for a rescue dog, specifically, a Yorkshire terrier.

I understand that the Yorkie Friends Rescue will reimburse me for any pre-approved medical expenses and impound fees related to the foster dog. I understand that any food, toys, and travel expenses associated with the foster dog are a donation and will not be reimbursed. {Yorkie Friends Rescue is applying for status as a non-profit organization under section 501 (c) (3)}.

I understand the requirements and grant permission for Home Checks at random both prior to and during fostering. I submit that if a Home Check reveals falsification or misrepresentation of any facts on my part, the Yorkie Friends Rescue reserves the right to either refuse fostering, to nullify any agreement between us and reclaim said Yorkshire terrier from my premises, without reimbursement of the fostering expenses.

I stipulate that I am a volunteer for the Yorkie Friends Rescue. I will provide automotive and health insurance, and hold Yorkie Friends Rescue its officers, members, volunteers, associates, or other foster care providers harmless for any liabilities, whether damages are physical, emotional, or property, that are a direct or indirect result of activities associated with fostering, placement, transport, grooming, training, or evaluating of any Yorkshire Terrier or other dog in any way associated with the Yorkie Friends Rescue, including any and all activities I perform as a volunteer for the Yorkie Friends Rescue.

I have read the YFR, Inc “Code of Ethics” and understand and agree with its contents and will abide by them. I further understand that a Membership Coordinator will contact me regarding my acceptance.
