Abbey Road Canine Rescue dba Abbey Road Rescue [ARR] is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to find homes for dogs in need to reduce to help reduce shelter overcrowding and euthanasia rates.

Abbey Road Rescue strives to ensure animals in our care are well cared for and treated compassionately.

It is the adopter's responsibility to immediate action to see that the animalis immunized and otherwise checked for their current health status.

The adopting person understands that it is very important that animals already in their home be in good health and be current on immunizations to reduce the risk of contracting an illness or disease from the adopted animal. The adopting person is advised to consult with their veterinarian regarding any recommended quarantine period prior to letting the adopted animal have any contact with other animals already in the home. The adopting person understands that most animals Abbey Road Rescue is attempting to place are from an unknown situation, and may have spent time homeless or in an animal control facility, and therefore may be fearful, nervous or have other characteristics that may be considered undesirable and the adopting person is prepared to work patiently with the adopted animal to overcome any such problems.

Abbey Road Rescue attempts to identify any animal which seems to demonstrate aggressive behavior. However, all pets can act in ways which are unexpected. ARR advises the adopting person to treat newly adopted animals with care and attention to see what type of characteristics they demonstrate. The adopting person understands that the temperament and disposition of any animal they adopt is completely unknown and not guaranteed at all. The adopting person assumes all responsibility for evaluating the animal and its suitability for their family.

Abbey Road Rescue makes no representations regarding the health or demeanor of any of the animals which it places for adoption and advises the adopting person to take all necessary care as their pet is adjusting to its new surroundings. The adopting person also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Abbey Road Rescue for any act or conduct of the animal after delivery of the animal to the adopting person.

Please initial here to indicate that you have read, understand and agree with this disclaimer:

INITIALS*

I have read the above information carefully and have filled out this application honestly. understand that omission of information and/or failure to answer all questions honestly and completely can result in this application being denied.

If an omission or untruth is discovered after an adoption takes place, I understand that ARR reserves the right to annul the adoption and reclaim the animal. I give ARR permission to fully investigate the information provided including permission to contact references I have listed. If the application passes this review, I agree to a home and yard visit at a mutually agreed upon date and time by a ARR volunteer before an adoption decision is made.

I understand that the adoption decision is dependent on many factors, including but not limited to the compatibility of the family and home to the individual animal, and other applications received for this animal.

I understand it is ARR prerogative to decide which home is most appropriate and that their decision is final, and therefore I will not contest their decision.

Unless otherwise indicated by ARR, I will be free to apply and undergo the application process again in the future.
