A. The typical characteristics and temperament of the dog have been explained to me.
B. I have been advised that the dog can sometimes dig, chew, soil, and exhibit other undesirable traits unless properly supervised, confined, and trained. Proper training is a must.
C. I have been advised that this dog may have been neglected, mistreated, or abused and that special care of precautions may be required.
D. I have been advised that this dog will need time to adjust to new routines, new family and new surroundings. This adjustment period may be anywhere from a few days to several months. In addition, I/we are aware that the dog may need training in basic house manners.
E.I agree to carefully introduce the new dog to the existing dogs and cats. Coming to a new home is stressful for the new dog and your existing animals. Careful introduction is a must. Your new dog needs time and space to adjust to the surroundings and your existing animals need to feel they are not being replaced or crowded. Introducing the new dog can result in growling, barking, submissive urination or other undesirable behavior. Properly managing the introductions is therefore important.

Every effort is made to make sure that any dog that is placed in rescue is thoroughly evaluated for its temperament, health, physical soundness and overall adoptability, before it is ever offered up for adoption. However, Rescue cannot and does not guarantee the health or temperament of said dog, has no documentation on the actual breed unless otherwise provided or lineage of the rescued dog, and costs for medical care after placement are the responsibility of the adopting party(s). We strongly encourage you to consider insurance for your new dog.
It is further agreed that if the Adopting party fails to perform any of those acts which he/she has guaranteed to perform, that the Rescue may, at its option, revoke this agreement and retake possession of the dog with the Adopting party forfeiting further right to the dog. Adopting party(s) agrees to hold harmless and release Rescue and/or its members, volunteers and other individuals working for and/or assisting with rescue from all liability, claims, and/or causes of action arising from any acts, injury and/or occurrences engaged in and/or caused by the dog subject to this agreement, as well as indemnification for damages, court costs, and/or attorney's fees incurred by the Rescue and/or its members for any court proceedings relating to such matters.
THE UNDERSIGNED ADOPTING PARTY/PARTIES HAVE READ THE FOREGOING ADOPTION AGREEMENT AND HOLD HARMLESS-RELEASE AGREEMENT AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE SAME AND AGREE TO BE BOUND TO ITS PROVISIONS.
