Health Concerns After Adoption

At THSSC, we strive to adopt out healthy and happy pets, however we cannot guarantee the health of any animal. We do not have a veterinarian on staff or additional medical equipment, therefore we require that you make an appointment with your veterinarian within the first 5 days for a health exam. If there are medical concerns with your newly adopted pet and you choose to treat them, we are not responsible for any charges. If you choose to not have the animal treated and wish to return the animal, you are welcome to do so.

I understand and agree to the policy regarding health concerns (type your name)

Hold Harmless Waiver

Adopter acknowledges and understands that the temperament, pedigree, and health of an animal may not be fully known, and does hereby assume full responsibility for any and all actions of, and for any personal injuries and/or damages that may be caused hereafter by or to the animal, and hereby remises, releases and forever discharges THSSC from any claim, loss or liability whatsoever arising from or relating in any way to the animal.

Adopter agrees that all animals on their property are current on vaccinations. They understand that there is a minimal risk for exposing their own animals to any unknown illness/diseases and do not hold the Humane Society responsible for any medical care their personal animals might need.

Adopter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless THSSC from and against all claims, damages losses, fees or costs arising from or relating to the animal, including claims for personal injuries or damages caused by the animal.

I understand and agree to the hold harmless waiver (type name)

Return Policy

We understand that not all adoptions work out! If, for any reason, your newly adopted pet does not fit into your household, you may return the animal to THSSC. What you have learned about the animal while in your home will help us find a more suitable home the second time. We DO NOT want you to re-home, sell, post to social media, Craig’s List, or free to a good home in the newspaper.

We also realize it can take several weeks for an animal to settle in a new environment and really show themselves. Therefore, we consider the first 30 days of an adoption a “trial period”.

If you do not feel the animal is the right match for you, please return them to the shelter for a FULL REFUND in that first month.

After the first 30 days, the animal is considered yours and a surrender fee would be requested.

I understand and agree to the return policy

You will be asked to sign an adoption contract in person when you pick up your pet.

If your application is accepted, you will be contacted to collect adoption fee.
