1.         I __________________________________________(hereinafter referred to as "Foster Caregiver") agree to foster and care for ________________________________________, (hereinafter referred to as "Fostered Animal").

2. At the time of foster, Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. will provide the Foster Caregiver with any health record of the Fostered Animal that is known to Animal Protection Coalition, Inc., some guidelines to properly care for and feed the Fostered Animal.

            Providing the Fostered Animal with adequate and proper quantities of wholesome feed and fresh water; safe and adequate shelter, which shall include at least a stall or run-in shed and turnout area; proper, adequate, and regular exercise; appropriate hoof care no less often than every eight weeks; any required veterinary attention, including yearly vaccinations for Rabies and any other diseases for which vaccines may be generally recommended in the State of Indiana from time to time; and treatment as preventive care against parasites such as de-worming no less often than every twelve weeks.   

Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. may, at their sole discretion, require receipt of proof of any and all the above required actions. Should the Foster Caregiver fail to provide to Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. such proof within five business days after such request is made by Animal Protection Coalition, Inc., then the Foster Caregiver shall be considered in material breech of this Agreement, thereby rendering Animal Protection Coalition, Inc.’s obligation to allow continued possession of the Fostered Animal null and void, and rendering this Agreement terminated. 

4. The Foster Caregiver agrees to advise the Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. of the place where the Fostered Animal will be kept, then further agrees that a representative of Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. may make unannounced visits at any time to any location where the Fostered Animal is located to confirm that the care required in paragraph 3 is being provided. This Agreement authorizes the Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. to enter such property to make an unannounced visit.

 5. In the event that the Foster Caregiver should desire to move the Fostered Animal from the initial facilities of the Fostered Animal to a different facility after the Foster Caregiver assumes possession of the Fostered Animal, the Foster Caregiver agrees to notify Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. at least 10 business days prior to the proposed move of the proposed new location of such new facilities of the Fostered Animal. Any new location of the facilities must be expressly approved by Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. prior to the Fostered Animal being moved to the location of such new facilities. The Fostered Animal shall not be removed from the State of Indiana except by written Agreement of the parties, which agreement shall be attached as an addendum hereto, become part of this Agreement and shall set forth specific provisions for Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. initial and ongoing inspection and monitoring of such location outside of the State of Indiana.

8. If for any reason the Foster Caregiver is unable or unwilling to care for the Fostered Animal as set forth in this Agreement, Foster Caregiver will immediately so notify Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. and allow Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. up to 30 days to retain possession of the Fostered Animal. Transportation to Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. will be at the expense of Animal Protection Coalition, Inc.. No other extraneous charges or cost incurred by the Fostered Animal before repossession by Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. will be liable to Animal Protection Coalition, Inc.. Under no circumstances shall the Foster Caregiver attempt to or purport to sell, trade, abandon, transfer or otherwise give the Fostered Animal away. Should the Fostered Animal be returned to Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. due to termination of this contract, no money will be reimbursed to the Foster Caregiver.  Under no circumstances shall the Fostered Animal be sold for slaughter.

9. Foster Caregiver agrees to allow potential adopters of the Foster Animal reasonable access to the Foster Animal for purposes of reviewing and/or riding. In the case of the Foster Animal being placed in an adoptive home, Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. agrees to give notice to Foster Caregiver.

10. The Foster Caregiver agrees to notify Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. and a veterinarian immediately upon the discovery of any medical problem, except those minor medical problems that are usual and incident to regular this breed maintenance. The Foster Caregiver, under no circumstances, shall cause the Fostered Animal to be put down or otherwise humanely destroyed without first consulting Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. and a veterinarian.

11. Foster Caregiver agrees to pay any and all reasonable attorney's fees and all court costs of Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. in the event any matter arising under this Agreement is forwarded to any attorney for enforcement of Animal Protection Coalition, Inc.’s rights and remedies under this Agreement.

12. In the event that Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. determines that the Foster Caregiver is in breach of any term of this Agreement, or becomes aware of the Foster Caregiver's involvement with any humane society or animal control agency, which involvement resulted in a warning or citation for the inhumane treatment of any animal or the Fostered Animal, this Agreement shall be considered null and void. Upon the Agreement being considered null and void, Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. may enter onto the premises and into the facilities where the Fostered Animal is being kept and may retake possession of the Fostered Animal with no liability. In the event this Agreement is rendered null and void by the Foster Caregiver's breach of any term of this Agreement, the Foster Caregiver shall not be entitled to any reimbursement of any funds whatsoever directly related to the Foster Caregiver's possession of the Fostered Animal. Failure of the Animal Protection Coalition, Inc. to take the action authorized above does not waive the Animal Protection Coalition, Inc.’s right to take such action at any time including, but not limited to, any subsequent breach by the Foster Caregiver of this Agreement.

13. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be subject to and shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Indiana.
