Canine's Name:*

This agreement is by and between The Canine Compassion Fund, Inc. (CCF) and the undersigned Foster-to-Adopt applicant regarding the canine described herein. CCF’s Foster-to-Adopt Program was created to place both unaltered dogs and dogs undergoing heartworm treatment into approved forever homes in a foster situation prior to adoption. The Foster-to-Adopt Program allows approved applicants to take either an unaltered dog into their home until the dog is old enough or healthy enough to be spayed/neutered by a licensed veterinarian or a dog undergoing heartworm treatment until such treatment is complete. If the Foster-to-Adopt family is accepted, they will foster the dog until it is altered or until heartworm treatment is complete, and then the adoption agreement will be finalized. In order to be accepted into this program, Foster-to-Adopt applicants must have an approved Adoption Application and home visit with CCF. In addition, applicants must sign the Foster-to-Adopt Agreement, which requires compliance with all the Foster-to-Adopt terms and conditions, including the adoption procedures. I agree to provide temporary foster care to the above listed dog.*
