While Beagle Rescue is very happy to support you while you foster any beagle/s, both financially and with advice (if needed), we do need to stress that once a carer decides to accept a foster beagle, then they do so at their own risk.

I/We realise the commitment that I am/we are making to any foster beagle I am/we are entrusted with and pledge to care for him/her as if he/she were my/our own. I/We understand that I/we once I/we decide to accept a foster beagle that I/we do so at our own risk.
