Authorisation must be obtained from SPSF for any purchases relating to the foster animal/s if reimbursement is requires. We have items such as beds, leads, toys which can be loaned to you and food can be dropped off if required. All loaned items are to be returned when foster is collected. As a foster carer for Safe Pets Safe Families, I hereby agree to the following terms: • Abide by all State and local council bylaws applicable to animal welfare and management and pay any fines incurred (for example an escaped dog) • Abide by all SPSF current policies and procedures – which includes but is not limited to: (a) I shall not use information gained in the course of my engagement, for personal gain or advantage, financial or otherwise, or to provide any gain or advantage to family members or any associates.
