THANK YOU FOR FOSTERING

Penny&Wild SOSFL is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no kill small animal rescue.

We are 100% foster home and donations based.

By fostering a rabbit or guinea pig, you are not only saving one smalls life, you are also opening up a space for us to save another!

Please use foster@pennyandwild.org as the primary form of non-urgent communication (general questions) and the forms below to notifying of travel dates / needing a temp foster, submitting community service forms, requesting supplies. This is so that we can easily reference anything in the future. These are also monitored by multiple volunteers so you will likely get a response sooner!

Foster Agreement (read only)

• I understand that any animal(s) fostered by me are the property of Penny & Wild: Smalls of South Florida Animal Rescue (hereinafter referred to as Penny & Wild) and I agree to return them to Penny & Wild immediately upon request. If I refuse to return the animal(s), Penny & Wild reserves the right to impound them as legal owner of the animal(s).

If I would like to adopt my foster I will need to apply to adopt and pay the adoption fee.

• I certify that no person residing in the household where the animal(s) will be fostered has ever been charged with or convicted of animal cruelty, neglect, or abandonment.

• I agree that my foster animal(s) will be housed and kept INDOORS ONLY and will not be allowed outdoors at any time.

• TRANSPORTING: I understand that I will need to bring the animal(s) fostered by me to vet exams, spay/neuter surgery, nail trims, weight checks, Meet&Greets, or other reasons deemed necessary by Penny & Wild at an agreed-upon date and time.

• VETERINARY CARE: I understand that all veterinary care must be authorized in advance by Penny & Wild with one of their approved veterinarians. I agree to personally incur the cost for any treatment that has not been pre-authorized. I understand that any supplies or medications provided by Penny & Wild are for the foster animal(s) only and are not to be administered to any other animals.

• CHILDREN: I agree to supervise and be responsible for any children handling any animal(s) fostered by me in a safe and hygienic manner, and will not hold Penny & Wild responsible for any injuries that may result from my failure to do so.

• PETS: I agree to keep my foster animal(s) separate from my own pets, and understand that the possibility of foster animal(s) fighting, injuring, or spreading illness to my own pets exists if I allow them to interact. I understand that if I choose to allow my foster animals and my own pets to have access to each other, I do so at my own risk, and will not hold Penny & Wild liable for any illness or injury that may occur to my own pet(s).

• DAMAGES: I agree to “bunny proof” the room / area where my foster will be housed and hold Penny&Wild SOS FL harmless from any direct or consequential damages arising out of fostering the animal(s).
