I further agree to indemnify and hold the Society harmless from any and all claims, damages, actions, causes or actions and judgments which may in any way result from my/ our presence in the shelter and exposure to, contact with and/or handling of any animal while visiting the shelter. The term `Society’ includes all past, present and future officers, directors, employees and agents of the `Society’, including their heirs, successors and assigns. This shall be a continuing release which shall remain effective until revoked in writing.
