Adoption Questionnaire

Transcription

1 Applicant To Keep First Page Adoption Questionnaire Over 60% of the animals we received last year were turned in by their owners. We want you to adopt an animal from us, but we want you to understand what you are getting into. 1. We check your background to ensure that are our animals are placed in the best home possible. 2. If you rent your home, live in a trailer, or are part of an association we may call your landlord. We do this as a courtesy since there are many breed restrictions and pet deposits worked into contracts. We want you to be aware of any additional costs. 3. Everyone wanting to adopt will be screened in our database for pet neglect and abuse. 4. We want to help you save a pet through adoption, but we do reserve the right to refuse anyone. We ask that you have the experience, patience, and resources to stick with an animal that may have problems due to a difficult background or adolescence. We want this dog or cat to stay with you and your family, that s why we are here, and why we care so much about them.

6 Terms of Agreement I certify that the information provided on this application is true, and I recognize that any falsification of information requested may result in losing adoption privileges. I authorize investigation of all statements in this application and understand veterinarians, other humane agencies, landlords, or other outside sources may be contacted. I understand that the adoption of an animal may be delayed until such information can be verified. Upon submitting this application, it becomes sole property of the Safe Harbor Humane Society. The information in this document is confidential and will be kept in the strictest confidence of the staff at Safe Harbor Humane Society. Safe Harbor Humane Society reserves the right to deny adoption to anyone based upon this application and/or investigation of additional information for any reason. I understand that Safe Harbor Humane Society makes decisions in the best interest of the animal. As a Safe Harbor Humane Society adoption applicant, I understand that I will be interacting with and handling animals. I understand that in handling animals I may undertake any number of risks. I understand that in assuming this I may be exposing myself to potentially significant health risks or serious medical conditions, including, but not limited to: injuries from bites and scratches, slips or falls, infectious diseases, parasites, and allergic reactions (e.g. rabies, fleas, ringworm, allergies, and asthma). Since many animals that come to the SHHS are from unknown backgrounds and are therefore ultimately unpredictable, I am thus aware that Safe Harbor Humane Society is not in a position to know and makes no representations with the temperament, health or condition of any animal in particular. I must rely on my own judgment and I understand and agree that by handling the animal, as an applicant I do so at my own risk. Therefore, I agree to hold harmless, the SHHS, its employees, volunteers, agents, or directors, whether collectively or individually, for any injury or liability the animal(s) may cause to me. I further assume any and all liability for damages or to other persons, which may be caused by any animal(s) while in my care as an applicant, and hold the Safe Harbor Humane Society harmless therefrom.
