Dog/Puppy Adoption Application

Completed application, verbal interview with a Hollywood Huskies representative, and an in-person home check (or photos and/or video in lieu of in-person). If approved then:
Adoption fee. 100% of the fee goes to saving dogs. The adoption fee varies by age and the specific dog. For puppies and high-in-demand dogs, adoption fees are non-refundable – we are still happy to take back the dog if it’s not the right fit, and we will issue a donation receipt for the amount of the adoption fee. If at any time during the life of the dog you are unable to keep him/her for any reason, you agree to return him/her only to Hollywood Huskies.
ALL DOGS MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED. No exceptions. Normally, the dogs will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. However, there are occasional situations such as where it is a puppy too young for surgery, or a dog has health/medical reasons to temporarily delay the procedure, or there are appointment scheduling delays due to covid. In these cases, THE DOG ADOPTION IS NOT FINALIZED UNTIL SPAY/NEUTER HAS BEEN COMPLETED. Usually we will schedule the spay/neuter at one of our rescue affiliated spay/neuter clinics. If you are adopting a puppy/dog prior to their spay/neuter, you MUST provide a spay/neuter certificate within the required timeline in order to finalize the adoption, or Hollywood Huskies has the right to reclaim the dog.

If for any reason, I am no longer able to care for the dog, I agree to return the dog only to Hollywood Huskies.
If there is any indication that the dog is being neglected or is living in unsafe or unhealthy conditions, I understand that Hollywood Huskies has the right to reclaim the dog. If I pre-adopt a dog prior to spay/neuter, I understand that the adoption is not finalized until spay/neuter is complete, and Hollywood Huskies has the right to reclaim the dog if proof of spay/neuter is not provided. Prior to adoption, I will have had the opportunity to inspect and evaluate the dog either in person and/or by photos, and am relying on my own judgment and evaluation and taking the dog “as is” without any warranties or representations by Hollywood Huskies. Upon adoption, I am responsible for all medical and other costs for this dog, including any pre-existing conditions. Hollywood Huskies discloses to adopters any known medical issues prior to adoption and will provide copies of all vet/medical records available. I understand that previously unknown or new medical conditions may surface after adoption, and I understand that animals in senior years are likely to have additional medical costs, and I am prepared to cover these expenses should they arise. I hereby release and hold harmless and covenant not to sue Hollywood Huskies, Inc. including its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, and assigns from and against any liability or damages whatsoever.
