Eligibility Guidelines for FTN Rescue Fund

Only purebred Wire Fox and Smooth Fox Terriers.

Only spayed/neutered Fox Terriers.  No exceptions.  A copy of the 
spay/neuter certificate must accompany each application for funds. (Cases 
where  emergency treatment work was performed prior to the spay/neuter 
will be considered; however,  proof of spay /neuter must be received before 
any funds will be dispersed.)   
 
Parts 1 and 2 of the FTN Rescue Fund Application Forms MUST BE 
COMPLETED and returned to the FTN Rescue committee BEFORE the 
committee votes and any funds are dispersed.  Applications are available at 
http://www.foxterrierrescue.net/ftrlinks.html (click on the FTN Fund link.)
Steps for application are as follows:

1.	Complete Part 1.  For all requests regarding veterinary cost 
reimbursements, please have your veterinarian complete Part 2 of the 
application. NOTE: This includes treatments yet to be done as well as 
treatments that have already been done.    
               
*	As per directions on Part 2, your vet needs to attach a cost estimate 
breakdown.  This should be on the vet’s letterhead or stationary.  
For services already rendered, the itemized bill/invoice can be 
attached in place of a cost estimate.                      
 
2.	Adrianne at rescue@foxterrier.com       Alternatively, you may fax all 
required items to Adrianne at 360-495-3354 or mail them to Adrianne, 
86 Mox Chehalis Rd E, McCleary, WA  98557

3.	The Rescue committee will do its very best to contact the applicants 
with our decision within five working days AFTER RECEIPT OF ALL 
required paperwork from the applicant and their veterinarian.  Each 
application is decided upon based on its own merits.  If the procedure 
has not yet been performed, then the check will be sent directly to the 
treating veterinarian.  If the procedure is completed and paid for, and a 
copy of the receipt of payment is received by this committee, then the 
check will be sent directly to the Fox Terrier rescuer/group.


The dog must currently be in rescue/foster care.  Cases of a Fox Terrier in 
the care of another breed rescue group or cases where a pre-existing 
condition becomes evident only after re-homing, will also be considered.


Covered items: veterinary costs for heartworm treatment, veterinary costs 
for necessary dental work and cleaning, veterinary costs for surgery or 
treatments necessary to make the dog adoptable and some instances of 
transportation and boarding costs.  Examples of more common surgeries or 
treatments are fractured bone repairs, intestinal foreign body removal, 
cataract removal, accidental poisonings, hit by car injuries, and epilepsy 
control.    Examples of boarding and transportation costs include large 
volume rescues exceeding a rescuer’s ability to provide foster care at home 
and cases where great distances must be covered to get the dog into available 
foster care.)    
_________________________________________________________
Routine veterinary costs and routine costs incurred during foster care such as 
vaccinations, spay/neuters, flea/tick treatments, flea/tick prevention 
products, internal intestinal parasite treatments (intestinal de-worming), 
heartworm exams, heartworm prevention products, fecal exams, basic health 
check-up exams, grooming costs, food, crates, toys, leashes, collars, etc 
ARE NOT ELIGIBLE for reimbursement form the FTN Rescue Fund.  This 
is because typically the adoption fee for each dog re-homed should 
approximately equal the cost of routine expenses for that dog while it was in 
foster care.
