Adoption Agreement
I understand and agree that any dog adopted from DDR must be returned to DDR if I can no longer care for it, or if evidence of abuse or neglect is found and DDR requests the return of the dog, and that I will be bound to do so under DDR's Adoption Agreement. I understand and agree that dogs can be dangerous, particularly dogs that are new or unknown to me. I understand that while DDR makes every effort to minimize risk to applicants during the meet and greet, some risk of injury, infection, or infestation will always be present.
