  • Waiver of Liability & Release

  • This is an Agreement and Waiver and Release of Liability executed by   *   *   (volunteer), in favor of Ridge's Rescue, a dog rescue organization, its directors, officers, and agents collectively known as "Ridge's Rescue".

    I desire to work as a volunteer for Ridge's Rescue and engage in the activities related to being a volunteer. I understand that these activities include and are not limited to the following tasks: walking dogs, handling dogs at offsite adoption events, assisting with different fundraising events, transporting a dog, soliciting donations, etc.

    I hereby freely, voluntarily and without duress execute this Release under the following terms:

    1. I agree to keep all information concerning other volunteers, donors, adoptive families, and anyone having business with Ridge's Rescue confidential at all times.       
    2. I will treat all animals and fellow volunteers with respect.      
    3. I have not been convicted of any crime against animals, children, or a crime violent in nature.      
    4. I agree to report any and all issues/problems that may arise to one of the Ridge's Rescue Directors immediately.         
    5. I understand the possible risk of bringing home illnesses from Ridge's Rescue dog outings and or events to personal pets or vice versa and must have current vaccinations for my pets at home.        
    6. I understand that because I may handle and/or come in contact with animals, it is important to discuss being vaccinated against tetanus with my physician. I release Ridge's Rescue from all responsibility that may occur because of my not pursuing this matter further and I understand whatever decision I make is at my own risk.          
    7. I fully understand that as a part of my volunteer work for Ridge's Rescue, I will come into contact with animals either by directly handling them, fostering, or assisting in their care and adoption. Further, I understand that working with animals carries a risk of injury, and that I may be bitten, scratched, and/or otherwise injured.      
    8. I agree to release Ridge's Rescue of any liability of injury that may occur while I am volunteering my time.     
    9. I fully understand that the rescue dog should never come into contact with ANY other animals, that while walking the rescue dog I am responsible for keeping a safe distance from other animals and people (this includes Volunteer’s pets/relatives), and that the rescue dog should be leashed for the entirety of the field trip. (Dog parks are to be explicitly avoided)

    I do hereby grant and convey unto Ridge's Rescue all rights, title and interest into any and all photographs, images, video and audio recordings made by Ridge's Rescue during the/my activities with Ridge's Rescue including but not limited to any royalties, donations, proceeds or other benefits derived from such photographs or recordings.  I further permit Ridge's Rescue to publish said images, recordings, and videos at will on its website, social media sites, marketing materials and in other media for advertising and other use as Ridge's Rescue deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
