Family Agreement *Must be signed for EACH Frosted Face You have been approved as a forever foster (Family) under the terms of this signed Family Agreement of one of our rescued senior dogs (Frosted Faces) for Frosted Faces Foundation, Inc. (FFF). Thank you for welcoming a Frosted Face into your Family! This Family Agreement outlines the expectations and guidelines as a lifelong foster of an “unadopted” dog, that legally belongs to Frosted Faces Foundation. Although you are truly acting as the Frosted Face’s Family, we do not adopt out Frosted Faces so as to ensure the previously abandoned senior dog has unwavering support through FFF for the remainder of his/her life. Time Commitment As a Family of FFF you are agreeing to represent us in fulfilling the promise to give the Frosted Face a nurturing Family until he/she passes away. Only FFF Directors shall approve and place Frosted Faces in Families. A Director must be notified as soon as possible of any changes in the status of either the Frosted Face or the Family environment or location listed. This agreement ensures that you, and you alone will care for the dog. You will not give the Frosted Face to any other person, agency, shelter, or group. If the designated Family is not willing to care for the Frosted Face anymore, the Family must email written notice to [email protected] and have confirmed receipt from a Director. FFF must be given 4 weeks notice or the Family will be responsible for up to 31 days of boarding costs at $30.00 per day while we find the dog a new Family. ____________________________________________________________________ Please sign that you agree to the Time Commitment Food & Supplies FFF is happy to help provide supplies such as food (when available), crate, collar, leash, food bowls, toys and treats to the Frosted Face upon request. Food and supplies are available when donated, and require pick up in San Diego. Donation money is not sent to Families to purchase items. Families may also receive discounted or free services on boarding, grooming, and training. Please inquire about our current business relationships that benefit you and the Frosted Face in these areas. You are always more than welcome to pick up food from Headquarters, arrange a pick up if we are in your area, or take advantage of any of our business partnerships when it is convenient.
