I must be at least 21 years old to foster a rescued lab There is often little or no prior history on our rescued labs Most of our rescued labs have had little or no training and all required basic obedience training at a minimum. Labs are active dogs who are members of the sporting group and require at least one hour of exercise a day. A home visit will be conducted. We require our foster dogs to be kept on a leash at all times unless in a securely enclosed area. RMLR will check with other rescue groups, humane societies, or my veterinarian and/or to share information about my application with said other groups or with my veterinarian. I attest all information provided above is true. I promise to care for my foster Lab to the best of my ability. I also agree to keep a buckle collar, ID tag and RMLR tag on the dog, provide quality dog food, adequate shelter, vet care and training as needed (RMLR will provide transportation to vet appointments if needed). I understand that any inaccuracies shall result in my application being suspended or duty as a foster to be terminated. I understand and agree that RMLR has the right to refuse my application if application or home situation is deemed by the RMLR as not appropriate for a rescued Labrador. You also agree and give permission to RMLR to check with other rescue groups, humane societies, or my veterinarian and/or to share information about my application with said other groups or with my veterinarian. By submitting this information, you agree to: Not transporting this dog unconfined in an open vehicle. Not leave the dog unattended in any vehicle, as temperatures can escalate to a fatal level within five minutes. Regularly check the tightness of any collar and to remove choke chains or other training collars from the dog when the dog is unattended. Seek assistance from knowledgeable sources, including but not limited to RMLR personnel, veterinarians, behaviorists, or obedience trainers when problems with the dog’s behavior arise. Comply with all local, state, and federal ordinances, laws, statutes, and regulations concerning animal ownership or guardianship, including but not limited to licensing requirements. Provide suitable confinement for the dog. Under no circumstances is the dog to be routinely tethered (or tied up) as a means of confinement. Provide for suitable care if the Foster(s) will be absent from the home. RMLR can be contacted at any point if the foster lab needs to be moved to a different home or boarding facility. I have read and agree to the RMLR policies stated above.Electronic Signature of Applicant(Required)Electronic Signature of Co-Applicant(Required)Date(Required) MM slash DD slash YYYY CAPTCHA
