Memorandum of Understanding Between
Eagle County and Bright Future Foundation
Eagle County, Colorado through its Eagle County Animal Services ("ECAS") and
Bright Future Foundation's ("BFF") Sheltering Animals & Families Together (SAF-T)
program ("SAF-T") enter into this memorandum of understanding ("MOU") concerning
the boarding of companion animals of residents currently staying at BFF's BrightHouse.
ECAS provision of services is contingent on the available space at ECAS.
If there is available space at Eagle County's Animal Shelter and BFF choses to offer this
service to a resident currently staying at BFF's BrightHouse who has an animal, ECAS will
care for that animal that BFF is unable to house on -site. BFF may transfer animals to ECAS
due to lack of space at the BrightHouse, and for specialized care of frightened/aggressive or
larger animals. During the animal's stay at ECAS, the following care will be provided at no
cost to BFF or the animal's owner:
• Clean cage and fresh water daily or as needed.
• Feed same pet food as provided to other shelter animals. Provide a special diet on
request and at theexpense of the animal owner (or food provided by the animal
owner).
• Dog walking if ECAS staff is available.
BFF and ECAS will work in partnership with local veterinary providers to provide free or
discounted services if needed. These additional services will be offered that might require
funding or reimbursement at the responsibility of the animal owner to ECAS:
• If the animal requires emergency medical care, such as casting broken bones, X-rays,
treatment of burns orlacerations, etc., the services will be provided and billed by the
attending veterinarian to the animal owner according to a pre -determined fee
schedule.
• Preventative vaccinations if the animal is not up to date including:
o Dogs and cats 4 months of age and older must be current on rabies
inoculation and, if not current, the animal owner or BFF is responsible for
ECAS's actual cost of providing the inoculation.
o Dogs must be current on distemper, parvovirus, and coronavirus vaccination
and kennel cough vaccinations and, if not current, the animal owner is
responsible for ECAS's actual cost of providing such vaccinations.
o Cats 8 weeks of age and older must be current on their FVCRP vaccination
and, if not current,the animal owner or BFF is responsible for ECAS's actual
cost of providing the vaccination.

The animal's owner may visit their pets at ECAS if it's safe to do so for BFF and ECAS
staff. If visitation is allowed, it will be coordinated by the BFF SAF-T Director with ECAS
staff. If visitations are not allowed, the animal's owner may call to check on their pet during
ECAS office hours.
BFF will have the animal owner execute a Consent and Release for Boarding at Eagle County
Colorado's Animal Shelter form ("Form") before the animal is transferred to ECAS. The
original Form must be provided to ECAS and BFF will maintain a copy on file. While the
animal is in care of ECAS under this MOU, the confidentiality terms of the animal owner's
location at BFF will remain in effect and such confidentially will also remain with the animal
in care of ECAS. ECAS shall not disclose to anyone that it is caring for an animal under this
MOU.
This MOU will continue at the agreement of both parties and may be cancelled by either party
in writing at anytime.
