We appreciate your interest in becoming a foster for our organization. You must understand that most of the dogs that come into our rescue come from shelters and humane societies or they were strays, so their complete history is not known. It is possible that the dogs we take into our rescue have been abandoned, neglected, mistreated, or even abused. Although we evaluate dogs prior to accepting them into our rescue, we cannot guarantee their temperament of any of the the dogs since most of their histories are unknown. Working with the rescued dogs comes with risks. By sending the application, you are acknowledging that you understand and accept these risks.

By submitting your application, you are declaring that: you have never been convicted of animal abuse, neglect, or endangerment and that if this changes you will inform the MAGSR Board of Directors immediately or withdraw from the group and that the information provided in this application is true and complete to the best of your knowledge. MAGSR can and will deny any application if an applicant has falsified any information provided during the approval process. I understand that if this application is sent incomplete then I will not be considered for approval.

Further, if approved to foster, you understand that you are agreeing to become an official member of MAGSR. Part of being a foster and member for MAGSR asks that you be added to the group's Forum (email address above will be used) - our primary means of communication. As a foster and member of MAGSR, you are agreeing to remain part of this Forum group so that you are aware of events where your foster dog would be invited, aware of concerns, and kept up-to-date on issues related to your foster dog, etc. If you refuse to be a part of this message board forum, you will not be authorized to foster for MAGSR. Information on how to join the Forum will be provided to you upon your approval to foster.

I have accurately completed this application and all information stated is correct. I have read the above warning and understand the risks involved in working with these dogs. I understand that the Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue cannot be held responsible for the actions, behaviors and/or medical condition of all of the dogs in its Rescue. I agree to assume the risks implicit in working with dogs who may have been abandoned, beaten, or otherwise mistreated or abused, or who may suffer from an illness, condition or disease.
