Before fostering a dog I will read and abide by the “Guidelines for Volunteers Fostering Rescue Dogs” as set forth by Southeast German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue, Inc. If fostering a dog for Southeast GSP Rescue I understand the dog belongs to Southeast GSP Rescue and will communicate with my state coordinator and respond to all inquiries.

I understand that it is not the policy of Southeast GSP Rescue to reimburse costs in the rescue of dogs in any locality. I understand that I will get any expenses pre-approved prior to incurring the expense. If fostering, SEGSP Rescue will reimburse veterinary care pre-approved by the specific State Coordinator and provide heartworm and flea preventative medication as needed. I agree to fully and forever release Southeast GSP Rescue, GSPCA Rescue or GSPCA and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents and assigns from any and all claims, liability, damage, injury or harm caused directly or indirectly by any dog I handle or my activities as a volunteer for any rescue program. *
