01Purpose & scope#

The Rescuer Network roster exists so fosters, transport drivers, and intake coordinators can move a dog from a shelter to a safe home without re-keying the same details a dozen times. Access to that shared record is a privilege extended to vetted volunteers, and this agreement sets the terms on which it is granted.

It applies the moment you are added to a working team, and stays in force for as long as you can see another rescuer's contact details or a dog's intake file.

02What you can see#

Depending on your team role, the roster may surface:

• Contact details for other rescuers — name, phone, and service area.
• Intake records for dogs in your region — breed, age estimate, and medical flags.
• Placements — the foster household's first name and cross-streets, and the transport leg.
• Veterinary notes attached to an animal's care timeline.

None of this is public. Treat every field as if the person it describes were reading over your shoulder.

03How you must handle it#

By accepting, you agree to:

1. Use the data only to coordinate rescue, rehoming, or care for a specific animal.
2. Keep it inside the app or an approved working-team channel.
3. Delete any local copy — screenshot, export, or note — once the placement closes.
4. Report a suspected leak to your team lead within 24 hours.

04Prohibited uses#

• Contacting a rescuer for anything unrelated to an active case.
• Selling, publishing, or sharing the roster outside the network.
• Using a foster's address to show up unannounced.

05Breach & revocation#

Access is revoked immediately on a confirmed breach, and may be suspended during an investigation. Serious or repeated misuse ends your standing in the network and, where a law is broken, is referred to the relevant authority.
