finalize the adoption. The Foster Caregiver acknowledges that they will not receive any monetary
compensation for the services provided in this Foster-to-Adopt Agreement. The Organization recognizes
that the Foster Caregiver's ability to provide care may be limited in duration, and both parties agree to
maintain open communication regarding the rabbit(s)’ well-being and placement. The Foster Caregiver

the Organization and arrange the rabbit’s return. The adoption fee will be reimbursed once the rabbit has
been safely returned to the Organization.
