I hereby agree to hold harmless Spay-Neuter Coalition of NM and all volunteers, directors, grantors, partners, and representatives against any and all claims, suits, losses, injuries, liability and damages, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, including, but not limited to, any claims for bodily injury, illness, complications or death of the pet during or resulting from the spay/neuter procedure, vaccinations, and any other products or services, requested or deemed necessary and provided by the veterinary clinic.

I understand that under NM law, my pet must have or must receive a rabies vaccine. I understand that per state law, I must provide proof of vaccination or my pet will receive a vaccine at my expense.

I hereby certify that I am 18 years of age or older, the legal owner of the pet, and will be responsible for the pre and post surgical care of the pet.

I further agree that any post-surgical issues, complications, medications or treatments are solely my responsibility and not the responsibility of the Spay-Neuter Coalition of NM, its directors, volunteers or grantors. Only pets over 14 weeks of age are eligible for the procedure. Pets over seven years of age will not be accepted. Pets over four years of age are at the discretion of the veterinarian.

I also understand and accept that I am financially responsible for the Spay-Neuter Coalition of NM’s co-pay of $0-$150 based on the species, health, age and condition of pet, services, and income level of the owner. Any charges beyond the agreed services at the approved vet are my responsibility, such as veterinary recommended services, medications, pregnancy, enlarged uterus, uterine infection, retained testicle(s), microchip, or any other services not previously agreed to by Spay-Neuter Coalition of NM prior to the appointment.  Co-pay includes the procedure, microchip, pain control, cone and rabies and/or combo vaccine.

* Combo vaccines protect against common canine diseases like distemper, infectious hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. These are common and often fatal viruses. Or feline diseases like viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopaenia virus.

All vaccines have potential side effects ranging from minor digestive upset to anaphylaxis, neurological symptoms and death. Please contact your veterinarian for more information on potential side effects of vaccines.
