I had to provide proof of vaccination for my homestudy, but the pets were not mentioned in the report.

Also be careful when you take pictures for your dossier. No pets in the pictures, and make sure all dog beds, bowls, etc. are put away.

Some foster families do have pets, but they don't want us to know either! During my pickup trip, a rep from the attorney's office let it slip that Eric's foster family had a dog in the house. I told him I was fine with that - I was glad that Eric was used to having a dog around. He seemed a little shocked and changed the subject right away.
