1. Immunization of all household pets must be up to date, regardless of whether the pets are kept inside or outside the foster home. The presence of any pet deemed potentially hazardous to a child is cause for the denial or revocation of a license to operate a foster home. Exotic or potentially dangerous pets or other animals, are prohibited unless the licensee has obtained any required permit or license to keep the pet or animal and has provided the licensing authority with a written plan documenting the reasons that the pet or animal does not present a threat to the safety of a child in the home.2. Pets are permitted in a foster home if they are: (a) In good health, present no problems of sanitation and have a temperament which is not hazardous or frightening to children.(b) Handled in a manner which protects the well-being of the children and the pet.(c) Inoculated as often as prescribed by a veterinarian.(d) Restricted from areas where food is prepared and from eating areas while meals are being served. A cage is adequate restriction.3. Any litter boxes must be kept out of the reach of young children, and play areas must be cleaned of all animal feces before children are allowed access to those areas.Nev. Admin. Code § 424.590
