Colonial Capital Humane Society
Foster Home Application
Fostering a rescued pet is a huge
responsibility and one that must be accepted by the entire family. In
an effort to find the best possible foster home for each of our pets,
Colonial Capital Humane Society asks that you take the time to complete
this application and discuss any questions you may have with one of our
Rescue/Adoption Committee members. Foster care for a rescued pet can
frequently last as long as six months and occasionally longer. Please
be sure that you are able to make that commitment. You must be over the age of 18 to be considered as a foster home.
If you have questions about this form or any aspect of fostering, please contact us at 252-633-0146 or email us at fosterprogram@colonialcapital.org

No
As a foster home you may
have an animal in your care for a short period of time (1 week) or an
extended period of time (as many as 3 months or more).
As a
foster home you will be required to keep your foster dogs(s) in a leash
or enclosed area (within a fence adequate for the dog) at all times.
Dogs must live primarily indoors. Foster Cats must be kept indoors at
all times.
While you are caring for foster pets, we may call
you from time to tome to check on the animals' progress and address any
concerns you may have.
As a foster home, we want you to know
that it is occasionally necessary to euthanize an animal that has been
in foster care. Although this is an option of last resort, it does
occur for numerous reasons. CCHS does not euthanize healthy, adoptable
pets.
A foster family shall NOT adopt out their foster pet to
anyone without a completed adoption application and the prior approval
of the Adoption Committee.
I have read the above statements.
By submitting this foster home application you certify the answers given are true and agree to the above statements.
