Is Fostering for You? 
We love our amazing foster family. Each year, our number of fosters grows and so does the amount of lives saved! To be a foster, all you need is to:
  • Live in Warren County
  • Have a big heart for animals
  • Be willing to bring your fosters in for check-ups as needed
Fosters typically stay for 4-6 weeks, but any amount of time will help and is appreciated! Every foster that graciously opens up their home means one more enclosure at the shelter is freed up to save additional lives. Sign up below to apply to be one of our awesome fosters and help make a difference in these pets' lives.

    (Typing your name below indicates electronic signature)

    • I understand there is always an adjustment period for any foster animal coming into my home. There is no specific time limit for any animals to be in foster care and I am willing to work to make this foster a member of my family during his/her stay. I understand that many of the survived tremendous odds and need lots of TLC. I understand that BGWCHS cannot be held responsible for the actions, behaviors, and/or medical conditions of all the animals in its rescue. I agree to assume the risks implicit in working with animals who may have been abandoned, beaten, mistreated, abused, or who may suffer from an illness or disease. Although BGWCHS evaluates animals prior to fostering them out, BGWCHS cannot guarantee the temperament of any of the animals since most of their histories are unknown.
    • I understand that I will receive an orientation and an orientation packet from a member of the forster team that outlines BGWCHS fostering policies. I agree to read through this packet in its entirety and to abide by all of its policies.
    • I understand my foster cat is to live indoors at all times, and/or my foster dog is to live indoors and while temporarily outside, be on a leash or in an enclosed yard.
    • I understand that BGWCHS reserves the right to check on the welfare of any foster animal in my care and to reclaim the animals back without payment of any kind. At any time I can be asked to return the animal to BGWCHS and I must comply. I understand that at no time during foster care do I own the animal, that I am a temporary caregiver with the intent of providing the animal with all of his/her physical, emotional and mental needs. In the event that I do not comply with the foster guidelines and BGWCHS must enter my premise to reclaim any foster animal from me, I waive any claim to trespassers from BGWCHS.
    • I understand that  BGWCHS must approve all adoption applications, so I will not promise anyone that they can adopt my foster animal. Of course, BGWCHS will be happy to receive adoption recommendations and referrals from foster homes. I understand that all adoptions MUST take place at BGWCHS, with no exceptions.
    • I understand that if veterinary care is necessary for my foster animal, I will contact the shelter as soon as possible. For all foster questions and emergencies, I can contact the shelter at 270-783-9404 during normal business hours. For after hours emergencies, I can contact EMERGENCY NUMBER 270-202-9136.
    • I understand the risks and possible financial burdens associated with fostering an animal, and I agree that if at any time in the future, I cannot continue on in the foster program for any reason, I will not give away, sell or euthanize the foster animal. I will contact the shelter immediately and return the foster animals to BGWCHS.
    • I agree that if at any time in the future, I will be away and need a temporary caregiver for my foster animal, I will not place the animal in anyone’s care who has not been approved as a foster parent for this specific foster animal by the BGWCHS foster team.
            
            I acknowledge that I have received a copy of this Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society Foster Agreement, I have thoroughly read it, and I understand all of my rights and obligations to BGWCHS and the animal(s) that I am fostering. I declare that I have accurately completed a foster application, and that if any of the information given on my application is discovered to be inaccurate to the best of my knowledge, I must immediately return my foster animal(s) to the care of BGWCHS. ​
    Please attach a photo of the area in which you will keep your foster pets.
