Any other information that will support your application?

In accordance with Town Bylaws, 1957/ADMIN/05, dogs are to be kept on leash and licensed. Dog licenses must be obtained before any dog (6 months of age and over) leaves the Hay River Animal Shelter. Licenses are registered through the Town Hall. If you are adopting a puppy under the age of 6 months, we will be doing follow up calls to ensure your dog has been licensed and spayed or neutered. Dogs that have been spayed or neutered (Veterinary proof required) will receive a lifetime tag from the Town of Hay River at NO charge. If you cannot provide proof of spay or neuter the cost is $25 per year to register.

All of the information I have given above is true and complete. The animal will reside in my home as a lifetime companion. I will provide him/her with adequate food, water, shelter, training, affection and regular vet visits. If the animal I wish to adopt is not spayed or neutered, I agree to have this done within 4 months of the adoption. The Hay River Animal Shelter will be doing follow ups and require proof of spay or neuter.

I give permission to the Hay River Animal Shelter to verify any information that I have given on this application. I understand that this application must be approved by the Hay River Animal Shelter Adoption Committee, and full payment must be received before I take possession of any animal. If for some reason this agreement is cancelled by me within 7 days, I am entitled to a full refund.

By signing below I am in full agreement with the above terms of adoption and once the animal is transferred into my care I have full responsibility for said animal. The Hay River Animal Shelter is in no way liable or responsible for any damage, accident or injury resulting from the placement of an animal into my household.

IF FOR ANY REASON THIS ADOPTION DOESN’T WORK OUT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO CONTACT US FIRST TO SURRENDER THE ANIMAL
