Foster Application

Application Requirements:

Guardian Angel Rescue reserves the right to refuse any application for any reason. Guardian Angel Rescue bases placement decisions on finding the right foster homes for our rescues.

All applications must be filled out entirely. All fields are required to be answered (unless otherwise stated) and any application submitted with missing information will not be considered.

Guardian Angel Rescue will not consider any application that is submitted for anyone other than the primary applicant. Our rescues may not be given away as gifts or for any other reason.

All applications submitted should be done so with full knowledge of all family members and with the intent to adopt if approved. Guardian Angel Rescue requires all members of the household (including anyone renting space in the home and any animals) to meet with a Guardian Angel Rescue volunteer and the desired dog or puppy prior to fostering.

No person under the age of 23 will be allowed to foster from our rescue. Proof of age will be required.

The primary applicant must be on the mortgage to apply for fostering any dog or puppy with Guardian Angel Rescue. No Renters.

Guardian Angel Rescue will not consider any application where children will be the primary care givers.

A reference check is required prior to approving any application.

Should you not have a fenced yard for the dog or puppy, please understand that frequent walking and exercise is required. If you work full time and or the dog or puppy will be home alone for more than 6 hours on a daily basis, please take the time to find a dog walker or program that will assist in exercising and walking during these stretches of time.

No Guardian Angel Rescue dog or puppy is to be used for any other purpose other than an indoor (foster) family member. Dogs and puppies may not be left in yards, chained to trees, or used as guard dogs.

You must take the time to consider all aspects of responsible ownership, including training, behavior problems that can arise, and any changes in daily activity that will occur with the addition to your household.

A phone interview will follow the application process. Please specify the best time and contact number for this interview.

You must agree to and sign the contract form prior to fostering.
