Fostering is temporary care — but responsibility shouldn’t be left to guesswork.
A foster agreement makes clear that the organization still owns the dog, spells out who pays for food and vet care, and sets expectations for how the dog is handled. It also documents any known behavior up front, so the foster can keep themselves, their household, and the public safe.
