  • Adoption Terms & Conditions

  • I will provide ID tags for my dog within 48 hours of the date of this contract.*
  • I understand that all dogs require an adjustment period to adapt to a new home and that it is generally unacceptable to judge a dog's long-term success in my home during this adjustment period. _*
  • I understand that I must be diligent in creating an environment that will be successful for the dog, including creating a plan for reinforcing housebreaking, creating a secure environment for the dog (inside the house) when I am not home, and making note of any unusual behaviors so that they can be addressed by a trainer ifneeded. *
  • I am adopting this dog to be a companion dog, not a guard dog. The dog will live inside my home, not outdoors.*

I accept possession of this dog at my own risk and release Scooter’s Pals from liability for any damages to person or property that may be caused by this dog in the future. *
  • I acknowledge that to the extent of their knowledge, Scooter’s Pals has fully informed me of any behavior issues this dog has, including but not limited to any history of biting. I accept the dog for adoption with this knowledge and I assume responsibility for the dog’s actions. *
  • In the event that I move from the location noted on this Contract or if I have a change of phone number, I will notify Scooter’s Pals of my new address and phone number. *
  • The dog is being adopted for myself and will not be sold, adopted, or given to another party except as indicated in the next clause immediately below.*
  • If I can no longer keep the dog, the person(s) listed below have agreed to care for and/or adopt the dog. If it becomes necessary to return my dog to Scooter’s Pals, I accept full financial responsibilityfor any boarding fees or vet care costs incurred by Scooter’s Pals until a new home for my dog is found. *
