Foster / Volunteer Form

In consideration of this opportunity to volunteer, I agree to the following terms and conditions, intending to be legally bound by them:

• I will abide by the mission, rules, regulations, policies and programs of the Annie’s Rescued Friends, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as ARF) while I am a volunteer. 

• I assume the risks of being bitten, scratched, injured or frightened by dogs and puppies or other ARF animals in connection with my volunteer work for ARF. The ARF organization, officers and volunteers are not liable to me for any injuries, damages, liabilities, losses, judgments, costs or expenses which I might suffer or sustain in connection to the performance of my volunteer activities for ARF unless they are the result of ARF's gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

• I will indemnify, defend and hold ARF harmless from and against any claims, lawsuits, injuries, damages, losses, costs or expenses sustained by any companion animal or any person in connection with my intentional misconduct or grossly negligent performance of volunteer activities for ARF, or my breach of ARF's rules, regulations, policies and programs.

• If I suspend volunteer activities, or upon ARF's request at any time, I will promptly return all ARF supplies, equipment, records, moneys and other items in good, clean condition.

• Any modification to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. This Agreement is binding upon ARF, and ARF's representatives, me and my respective heirs, successors, assigns, executors and personal representatives.

• I will not have a person outside the ARF temporarily care for ARF animals (i.e. a show visitor, pet sitter, neighbor, relative) unless the person first signs a Hold Harmless Agreement to hold ARF, its officers and volunteers harmless in the event of injury or mishap. In the case of an adoption, an Adoption Agreement is to be signed.

I agree to all the terms stated above. I will abide by them and not dispute or take issue with them in any way.
