Foster Care Agreement

This agreement, between the Long Island Bulldog Rescue and the Foster Care Volunteer(s), must be completed if any Bulldog is placed in the custody of the Foster Care Volunteer(s). Read full agreement

Breed Information:

Bulldogs are typically affectionate and friendly, and the Long Island Bulldog Rescue will not knowingly place a dog with an unsound temperament. However, no one can predict how any dog will react in a given situation without full knowledge of its life experiences before rescue. Therefore, Foster Care Volunteers are strongly urged to exercise prudence and caution in introducing a rescued Bulldog into new situations until it has become fully adjusted to its new environment and the Foster Care Volunteer has had an opportunity to become familiar with the dog's unique personality. Long Island Bulldog Rescue make’s no claims, representations, or warranties regarding the temperament, behavior, or health of any rescued Bulldog.

Foster Care Requirements:

A foster home should have a fenced yard for exercise. If this is not possible, the dog must be exercised on a leash. A Long Island Bulldog Rescue member may visit the prospective foster home to evaluate it for rescue dog placement. You will also be required to complete an Adoption Application to provide information about your household and living circumstances. A Bulldog placed in foster care is not owned by the Foster Care Volunteer(s). If, for any reason, the Foster Care Volunteer(s) cannot keep the rescued dog, he/she will return the dog to the Long Island Bulldog Rescue member who placed the dog with him/her. The final decision on placing the rescued Bulldog in a new home will be made by an authorized member of the Long Island Bulldog Rescue. If the Foster Care Volunteer suggests a possible placement, or wants to adopt the dog being fostered, an adoption application must be completed, and the adoption must be approved by the Long Island Bulldog Rescue member. The Foster Care Volunteer is expected to provide food, shelter and necessary transportation to the rescued Bulldog at no cost to the Long Island Bulldog Rescue. Expenses for routine and emergency veterinary care will be paid for by Long Island Bulldog Rescue, this must be pre authorized unless the dog in danger of losing it’s life. Important: Foster Care Volunteers are not insured against loss or damage resulting from any rescue activities. Therefore, Long Island Bulldog Rescue strongly recommends that Foster Care Volunteers consider obtaining appropriate insurance coverage for themselves. Providers of homeowners' insurance can explain the requirements and costs of such protection.
