FOSTER PARENT INFO Cottage Paws Rescue relies on foster homes to house, assess and develop our animals to be suitable pets that can be adopted to loving FOREVER homes. Ongoing support is always provided from our volunteer team during this process. Medical bills are arranged and paid for by our rescue ONLY. It is important that all vet visits are approved and arranged beforehand through us. We will supply you with a collar/leash/pet tag for our rescue as well as any shampoo, harness, and other donated items we acquire. Foster homes are responsible for food (If we do not have any donated food items available) and basic care.

Cottage Paws Rescue will not be held responsible for any damage to your home or current animals as a result of your decision to foster an animal. Fostering an animal is at your own risk. Please Initial to agree:
