1. Adoption Donation: To assist us in continuing our rescue work, Adopter agrees to make a non-refundable donation - donation varies based on adult dog or puppy and adult cat or kitten. This donation is immediately used to pay the ongoing costs of rescuing stray and shelter animals, including food, veterinary care, kenneling costs, behavior training, etc.

2. Spay/Neuter: If this animal has not been sterilized prior to this adoption due to age or physical condition, you agree to enter into a Sterilization Agreement with us to have the Dog or Cat spayed or neutered in accordance with the Sterilization Agreement.

You agree that this animal is being adopted as a family member and will be given extensive house privileges; i.e. sleep inside the house, be allowed freedom of the house when the family is home, and will NOT be restricted to the yard at any time. You agree to provide the Animal with fresh water, wholesome dog food, adequate outdoor exercise, affection and shelter. You also agree that the animal will not be used as a guard animal, or for any purpose other than as a companion and friend to you and your family. No alteration to the animal’s appearance is permitted (i.e. docking of tails, ears).

The Animal will be examined by your licensed veterinarian within 10 days after adoption and will be provided with medical treatment as needed. You agree to keep all vaccinations current including but not limited to Rabies, Distemper/Parvo (DHLPP), Bordetella, AND to ensure the Animal receives preventative medication to protect against heartworm if necessary. The animal will have age appropriate vaccinations by adoption date and you agree to complete all necessary vaccinations by your private veterinarian after adoption (i.e. Rabies shots if adopted under 4 months of age or any necessary boosters). You agree to provide the best available care to the Animal in a timely manner. Any veterinary problems that may arise, including serious illness requiring emergency care or surgery is your responsibility and you are responsible for all related costs. Failure to comply with these terms will result in Boop The Snoot Rescue seeking fees in the amount of $2,500.

Where applicable, adopter will provide a secure fenced yard, with ample room for outdoor exercise. If fencing needs repair or modification in order to ensure the safety and well-being of the Dog, you agree to make any necessary repairs prior to allowing Adoptee access to the yard. You agree to maintain the security of the fencing in the future to further secure the Dog. Adopter understands that gardeners, pool men, contractors and utility workers are not responsible for the safety of the Dog, therefore adoptee must be kept indoors when workmen have access to the yard.

You will walk the dog on a leash when on public streets or in parks or other unfenced areas, and will never allow the Dog to roam free unsupervised. The Dog will NEVER be tied up on your property or elsewhere. Adopter understands that restraining a dog by tying it to a fixed post or wire run is illegal. You will not leave the dog crated and/or otherwise confined for extended periods of time (more than 5 hours).

You agree to make an immediate and serious effort to find the Animal if it becomes lost, by (a) filing lost reports with the local police, animal control authorities, animal shelters, SPCAs and local veterinarians and pet stores, (b) post lost dog/cat signs (c) place lost dog/cat ads in your local paper (d) contact us for additional support and advice. Furthermore, Adopter understands that if the loss was the result of negligence or failure to comply with the covenants of this Agreement, Boop The Snoot Rescue, Inc. reserves the right not to return the dog and to place adoptee into a new home.

If at any time in the future you cannot continue to provide proper care for the Animal, you will not abandon, give or sell the Animal to another person, company, organization, medical research, pound or animal shelter. You agree to do one or more of the following: A. Obtain approval from Boop The Snoot Rescue, Inc. to transfer the ownership of the Dog or to a friend or relative. Rescue must approve the new adopter who will be required to sign an agreement similar to this one. B. Agree to cover the costs to board Adoptee for an agreed-upon time, allowing Rescue to actively seek a new home and then relinquish the Animal to Rescue when a home is found. Note: Boarding costs are $25 to $50 per day. C. Return Adoptee to Rescue.

If Adopter decided to not keep the Dog, Adopter hereby agrees to return the Adoptee to Rescue. Importantly, Adopter agrees to give Rescue ten working days to secure a kennel, and will provide safe and loving care of the Animal until it is returned. Adopter agrees to safely transport the Animal to the determined kennel or veterinarian facility, and will return any/all paperwork and supplies provided by Rescue at that time.

You agree that you may not euthanize the Animal except in the case of the Animal's terminal illness or injury, or old age accompanied by pain and suffering and in that case, the euthanasia must be performed by a licensed veterinarian.

Adopter understands and agrees that Rescue reserves the right to reclaim adoptee if any of the above conditions are not met to the satisfaction of Rescue.

Rescue makes no warranty as to the temperament or physical condition of the Adoptee. The Adoptee is being adopted as is.

Adopter hereby releases Boop The Snoot Rescue, Inc. from any and all liability for personal injury, property damage, legal fees, or veterinary care, or any other expense or liability incurred by Adopter as a result of this adoption. Adopter agrees to indemnify Boop The Snoot Rescue, Inc. from any and all such claims and to pay, without limitation, any costs related to such injury, damage, or liability, including, in the case of litigation, any attorneys fees incurred by Boop The Snoot Rescue in its defense.
