DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE: Many of the dogs in our program come to us from Animal Control facilities. Our veterinarian screens for noticeable health problems and vaccinates each dog. Each dog is placed on heartworm prevention and is given flea and tick preventative. Even with this care, however, a small percentage of dogs may require vet care or become ill shortly after adoption or while fostering. I understand that Bonaparte’s Retreat offers no warranty or guarantee as to any animal’s disposition, physical condition, health, or ability to interact with any person or other animal. I understand that there are certain risks inherent in interacting with animals I fully understand all risks associated with and inherent to my meeting, interacting with, and caring for an animal and fully assume said risks for injury, loss, or damages of any kind resulting from such risks involved in any associated activities. I hereby agree to release and forever discharge and hold harmless Bonaparte’s Retreat and its directors, officers, employees, agents, volunteers, invitees, sponsors, donors, and all other persons or entities whomsoever from any and all claims (including liabilities, suits, or expenses), whether known or unknown, including claims caused or alleged to be caused by the negligence of Bonaparte’s Retreat or its directors, officers, employees, agents or otherwise, for injury, damage, death or other loss to me, my property, or the persons and property of third persons, in any way connected with my decision to become an animal care provider. I understand and hereby agree to waive all claims I may have against Bonaparte’s Retreat and agree that neither I nor anyone acting on my behalf will make a claim or file a lawsuit against Bonaparte’s Retreat. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this disclaimer and release.
