Potomac Valley Pekingese Club

Rescuing Pekingese in Need for Over 20 Years

Online Application Fost

This document is an application to the Potomac Vally Pekingese Club, Inc., (PVPC) to serve as a Rescue Foster. Rescue fosters temporarily shelter and care for rescue Pekingese in their homes until such time as PVPC locates a suitable adopter and deems the rescued Pekingese ready for adoption. Because PVPC Rescue acquires helpless little Pekingese that otherwise face an intolerable future, or no future at all, it is imperative for us to ensure that appropriate temporary care and environment are provided. We also need to know what level of foster/rescue activities each home is prepared to offer.

Please read the following carefully before signing:

The Potomac Valley Pekingese Club, Inc., is tax-exempt, not-for-profit organization whose members donate there time, expertise, and money to help Pekingese enter permanent, loving homes. The foster program is a vital, central part of our work.

Foster parents receive Pekes in all conditions, from barely recognizable stray Pekes in need of rehabilitation to finely-groomed champions who have lost their homes for a variety of reasons. They give the wary pets an opportunity to relax and get over their insecurity, in some cases nurturing them back to robust health and polite behavior patterns. When a suitable home is found, they cheerfully part with the Pekes they inevitably have bonded with. It isn't always easy, but the reward of seeing happy Pekes and new owners is always worth it.

During foster care the Peke is owned by PVPC, Inc., and all veterinary care of and movement of the Peke is under the control of the PVPC Director of Rescue.

Foster parents are not asked to fund directed veterinary care and a supplies allowance is available if needed.

Applicants by signing below release the PVPC to confirm the validity of the information provided herein, including contracting listed veterinarians. Applicants also understand that a satisfactory in-house visit and vet check is part of the foster application process.

And finally, applicants understand and agree that the PVPC reserves the right to refuse any applicant and agree to hold harmless the PVPC officers and members if their application for fostering is refused.
