| Foster Homes are given an honest evaluation of the temperament regarding a dog we have to place. Oftentimes, the complete history of an Aussie may not be known and behavioral or temperament problems might emerge which, on rare occasions, may be serious enough to raise safety concerns or questions regarding suitability for adoption. Are you prepared to handle behavioral issues with assistance/guidance from your Rep? |
| Foster Homes work with a Rescue Representative and that Representative has the ultimate responsibility for the dog and the right to place it as he/she feels is appropriate. Is this acceptable to you? |
| ARPH Dogs are to be kept on a leash and are not allowed to run in unfenced areas. Is that agreeable to you? |
ARPH may have to euthanize a dog for severe behavioral or medical issues. Would you have any issues with that? |
