I, the above so named, (hereinafter referred to as “FOSTER”) do willingly enter into this Foster Contract on the above date and acknowledge receipt from OPERATION PETS ALIVE! (Hereinafter referred to as “OPA”) one or more foster pets into my home. I understand that OPA may request that I foster another pet or pets in the future.
