Anti-Cruelty understands and agrees to the following:
- We are here to promote a healthy relationship between you and your pet.
- We encourage you to call us with any questions and concerns and ask that you respond to our follow-up requests by phone or email.
- We recognize some pet matches may not be successful through no fault of the person or the pet. Satisfaction guaranteed! Your adoption fee will be refunded if you return your pet within thirty days. We will welcome you and your returned pet back. If you are able to rehome the animal, we ask that you provide us with the new family’s contact information so we may continue to provide support to that animal.
- Anti-Cruelty strives to provide you with a healthy pet. However, the stress of changing environments can lower an animal’s immunity to fight disease and the pet could harbor an infection without displaying symptoms. We cannot guarantee the health of any animal.
As the adopter, I understand and agree to the following:
- I understand that I am adopting this animal with the following diagnosed condition or issue, and I realize that this animal may need further training or treatment
- I will take the animal to a veterinarian for a general physical examination and any necessary vaccinations, deworming, medications or medical treatment, at my own expense. Vaccinations for shelter animals are administered to protect the individual as well as the entire animal population against diseases which are of greatest concern in the shelter environment. The animal you are adopting is NOT considered fully vaccinated until an examination by a veterinarian post-adoption has reviewed the medical history and assessed the animal’s current and future risks of disease.
- I will provide a humane environment, regular exercise and companionship for my pet. I will have the animal inoculated against rabies and abide by city ordinances. If the animal should be sick or injured, I will obtain immediate veterinary care.
- I will keep this animal under appropriate restraint (i.e. cats should be kept indoors and dogs kept on leash or in a securely fenced yard).
- I will notify Anti-Cruelty if I change residence to ensure accurate microchip information; to permit humane agents of Anti-Cruelty to see the animal upon request; to surrender the animal to Anti-Cruelty in the event of a valid claim by a former guardian; and to comply with all applicable laws relating to control, care, treatment, use or guardianship of animals.
- I understand and agree that Anti-Cruelty makes no express or implied warranty, representation or promise to the age, health, breed, habits, disposition, or safety of the animal. I hereby accept the animal as is, assume all risks and responsibilities associated with the ownership of the animal, including bites, and I hereby fully and completely release, indemnify and hold harmless Anti-Cruelty, its directors, officers, volunteers, servants, and employees from any claim, cause of action or liability of any sort or nature, whether known or unknown, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with the adoption, care or ownership, maintenance, temperament or condition of the animal.
I further agree that if I do not comply with all of the above conditions that Anti-Cruelty shall have the right to resume ownership of the animal and I will surrender the animal to a humane agent of Anti-Cruelty.
I hereby attest that the disclosure required by HB5772 was posted on or near the cage of the dog or cat for adoption and that I have read all the disclosures. I further understand that I am entitled to keep a signed copy of this disclosure.
I give Anti-Cruelty permission to publish in print, electronic or video format my likeness or image. I release all claims against Anti-Cruelty with respect to copyright ownership and publication including any claim for compensation related to use of the materials.
I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand the terms and conditions of the foregoing adoption agreement and that I will comply with the same.
