Dachshunds vary greatly in temperment, personality, and activity level. What characteristics would you find undesirable in a foster dachshund? Please be extremely honest in what you cannot or will not accept in a foster dog. Dogs coming into foster care often have a number of issues that need work, housetraining, behavior, separation anxiety, etc. If you feel you cannot handle anything specific, please be honest and tell us. We don't want to ask you to foster a dog for us if you cannot handle certain situations. If you have other pets and you cannot foster a young, rambunctious dog because of a senior pet or a child, that is important to know also. CCDR will try to find a foster dog that can fit easily into a foster home but we have to know what a foster home can handle.We don't want a foster to have to be put into another home until they are adopted, so, please be honest on what you can and cannot accept in a dog.

Would you accept a dog that is older? Yes No ; 
has been abused? Yes No 
is not reliable with children? Yes No; 
has a physical handicap? Yes No ; 
is pregnant and will be whelping? Yes No ; 
is recovering from medical treatment and may need foster care for 2 to 4 months? 
Yes No . 

Please describe any experience you may have had in training and/or rehabilitation work with dogs. 

Some rescue dachshunds have problems with separation anxiety, fearfulness or dominant behavior. Would you be willing to help retrain a dog following a specific behavioral remediation program that included support from a trained professional? Yes No

If necessary, would you be willing to take a foster dog to obedience training (at CCDR's expense) or to obedience train him yourself? Yes No

Are you currently a member of a rescue organization?  Yes No
Please list the group(s).

Please list any organizations you've been involved with in rescue or breed.

Please list groups you currently foster for or have fostered for:

 

  • As a foster home I understand that while in foster care of a CCDR dog I will provide shelter, food and security and that only those medical procedures that are approved by CCDR will be paid for by them.  Anyhing else, such as heartworm medication, flea treatment, grooming, nail clipping,  training or boarding will be absorbed by me unless prior contact with a Board member for approval of reimbursement has been done and only for legitimate reasons. As a foster parent I understand that I am helping rescue by fostering and personally covering the expenses of normal care. 
  • While in foster care, I will not mistreat or abuse a CCDR foster. I understand that if I do or CCDR finds I have been negligent, I will have the foster dog removed immediately and will no longer be able to foster for CCDR. I understand that if a foster dog has an accident that is due to my lack of care or my pet injures the foster, I am responsible for the medical bills for the CCDR foster. I understand I have a requirement to meet or exceed proper care while a CCDR foster is in my home.
  • I am aware that CCDR dogs may have undetectable illnesses and as a foster home I will take all precautions to quarantine a new dog coming in to my home. CCDR is responsible only for the medical care of CCDR dogs and will treat the foster medically. I understand that only a CCDR dog's medical care will be paid for and should my pet need medical care by contracting something a CCDR dog has, I am responsible for my own pet's medical bills. I also realize that CCDR is not aware of the temperament or history of the dog in many cases and therefore realize that I am responsible for taking extreme care and precautions when bringing in a foster dog. Therefore, I understand that any medical issue or injury that occurs as a result of my negligence will be covered by me. I am fully responsible for the well being of the foster dog until it is officially adopted.
  • I will contact a CCDR representative immediately should the fostered CCDR dog become lost, stolen, seriously ill or die.  Contact means verbal communication between a CCDR board member (all contact information is on the contact list of the website; http://www.c2cdr.org), and/or a representative that I am working with either by telephone or in person.
  • The fostered CCDR dog will wear an ID and rabies tag at all times. (Foster homes can create a temporary tag or if a CCDR tag is available, it will be supplied) 
  • I understand that should I decide to permanently adopt a CCDR foster dog in my care, I will pay CCDR the full adoption fee that has been determined for this dog immediately. I understand that I have a week to make this decision once the dog enters my home, otherwise I am fully aware that at any time an adopter may adopt the foster dog I am in charge of. I will notify the representative or a Board member that I wish to adopt the foster dog in my care and I agree to pay this fee and return a signed adoption contract immediately. 
By clicking "I Agree" below, I agree to the above statements and release and covenant to hold harmless CCDR, Inc. and its members from any claims, damages, costs, or actions incurred as a result of the foster care or actions of the foster dog. I will notify CCDR immediately should the foster dog become lost, stolen, seriously ill or die. The foster dog will wear a CCDR ID tag at all times. I understand that should I decide within the first 7 days of foster care to permanently adopt the CCDR foster dog in my care, I will pay CCDR the full adoption fee to help defray the costs of spaying, neutering, shots, heartworm test and other medical expenses that have been incurred by CCDR. The adoption fees are currently on the website. 

I certify that I am at least 21 years of age and that I will be solely responsible for the care and well-being of any dog that I foster care for CCDR. Any misrepresentation of the true facts in this foster home application will invalidate the foster home agreement and will give CCDR the right to immediately reclaim the foster dog.
