Show Terms and Conditions

In filling out this form, the foster of this animal is not guaranteed to me. Due to the unpredictability of an animal’s behavior, Hidden Gem Animal Rescue will not be liable for any destruction or injuries sustained from our animals. Hidden Gem Animal Rescue is a non profit organization that works with many veterinary organizations but are not medically qualified themselves and will not be held liable for any unknown medical conditions that may occur. Fostering, adopting, and interacting with animals from rescues, such as Hidden Gem Animal Rescue, comes with its own personal risks such as injuries, property damage, financial costs, and medical conditions; I have acknowledged that Hidden Gem Animal Rescue will not be held liable for these risks. Any fees paid toward Hidden Gem Animal Rescue are nonrefundable, yet if the owner becomes incapable or unable to provide and care for their animal, they are to be returned to Hidden Gem Animal Rescue. I am financially capable of taking on this animal and will take the fostered animal to a veterinary service approved by Hidden Gem Animal Rescue. I have enough time to both care for the animal and spend quality time with them. I will do my best to keep in constant contact with Hidden Gem Animal Rescue and will provide the best care I can for the animal I am fostering. If there is ever a medical or general issue (regardless of severity), or relocation of the animal, Hidden Gem Animal Rescue is to be contacted immediately. Hidden Gem Animal Rescue is solely authorized to make medical decisions and approve any veterinary care for foster animals. The veterinarians used must be approved by Hidden Gem Animal Rescue. All adoptions must go through us as the foster animal remains property of Hidden Gem Animal Rescue. I will be responsible for paying any fees or general care for the animal. If the animal is being abused, neglected, or mistreated, Hidden Gem Animal Rescue has the right to reclaim the animal.
