3. I agree to transport the fostered animals to the BOIAR when required including attending veterinary appointments.

6. I understand I must make arrangements with the foster coordinator before bringing the fostered animal(s) in for treatment or to be returned.
7. I understand that in the event of illness or medical treatment needed for my foster animal(s), a BOIAR approved veterinarian must be used, unless agreed to by the BOIAR.
8. I understand that in some circumstances the BOIAR may decide that euthanasia is necessary. I understand that this decision is never made easily and I agree to abide by this decision once made.

13. This contract will remain in force while I am fostering animals on behalf of the BOIAR and it may be revoked at any time by either party.
14. I understand that the return of foster animals is dependent upon space available at the BOIAR and that sometimes there may be delays in being able to return the animals to the BOIAR due to a shortage of space.
15. I am aware that BOIAR will cover all reasonable costs associated with the animal(s) I am fostering, including food, parasite control, vaccinations and toileting materials where required.
16. I am aware that BOIAR will not cover costs related to my personally owned animals and I will not use product provided by the BOIAR for use on my owned animals without specific prior consent being given from the foster coordinator or other BOIAR staff.
