Foster

 

Foster Care Providers donate their time and resources in the rescue and rehabilitation of animals that are temporary residents of Indian Creek Sanctuary. In return, expenses incurred by the providers in connection with the care and maintenance of Indian Creek Sanctuary animals are eligible for a tax deduction under the most generous non-profit status of 501(c)(3).

In addition, all qualified Foster Care Providers are given first opportunity to adopt animals in their care above all other applicants.

HORSES
Foster Care Providers are responsible for the daily maintenance and care of the horse(s), which includes, feeding, watering, and maintenance of stall(s) and fencing. Foster Care Providers are also responsible for hoof /dental care, yearly vaccinations, bi-monthly wormings, and ensuring timely veterinarian care in the event the need arises. Indian Creek Sanctuary will allow foster families to board their fostered equines; however, Indian Creek Sanctuary can not reimburse the foster families for boarding fees either.

Qualified Foster Care Providers should not be shy about requesting donations, since the quality of life and well-being of an animal in your care may depend on it. It is one reason Indian Creek Sanctuary was created-- to afford concerned community members an opportunity to contribute to animals in need and to have control of where their donations are going.

Individuals interested in being considered must have, at a minimum, the following:

1. 18 Years of Age;
2. Have At Least 2 Years Experience Caring For A Horse;
3. Property Zoned For Horses with Proper Horse Facilities
4. Never Been Charged With Or Convicted Of Cruelty or Abuse Charges Of Any Nature Or Kind.
5. Vet Reference Letter (click to copy letter).

Once your reference letter and application are completed, Indian Creek Sanctuary will contact you to inspect your facility to verify that it is safe and meets our guidelines. Once this is complete, you may begin fostering animals. Foster homes will not be asked to take on any animals or problems they are not comfortable with.


Still Interested? Then please complete and submit your Foster Care Application now! You can make a difference in a animal's life.
