Initial THIS CONTRACT IS FOR THE LIFE OF THE PET
_____ There will be a fee of $65 dog, $35 cat for any animal if you return it to SOS, NO EXCEPTIONS. If your animal runs off and is returned to SOS, you WILL incur a boarding fee of $8/day until you reclaim your animal. To avoid this, you should tag your animal with your phone number so you will be contacted if your animal gets loose.
_____ I agree to take this animal to a veterinarian within 7 days to schedule follow up vaccinations and for a health checkup at my expense. I will take the animals health record for their review. We recommend that cats be checked for feline leukemia and dogs for heartworm disease. If your animal shows any signs of illness, contact your veterinarian.
_____ I agree to provide humane care for the animal throughout the animals life, and to provide appropriate medical care in case of illness or injury. THIS INCLUDES NOT ALLOWING YOUR ANIMAL OUT OF YOUR YARD.
_____ SOS is not responsible for your veterinarian bills, and makes no claims or representations regarding the behavior, health, or temperament of animals offered. Don’t adopt a puppy if you don’t want to incur veterinarian bills.
_____ I understand that SOS does NOT give refunds or make exchanges unless SOS receives within one week of the adoption a written statement from a veterinarian stating that the animal was ill at the time of the adoption. SOS gives no warranty, either expressed or implied, regarding the age, breed, health, condition, temperament, or behavior of the animal in this agreement. SOS does not knowingly offer for adoption any animal which is sick or injured, or not compatible to your situation, but since most of our animals are strays, we have no history on most of them.
_____ I understand that SOS can come to my home and check on the health and care of the adopted pet.
_____ I will not turn over any adopted animal to any person or organization without prior approval of SOS.
_____ I have been told about ShelterCare Pet Insurance, which is FREE for 60 days. You MUST call 1-866-375-PETS within 10 days of adoption to activate, but we recommend doing it IMMEDIATELY. It covers most illnesses and accidents with a $50 deductible. After 60 days if you wish to keep it active it will cost just $6.95/month.
_____ I will have the animal, (if not neutered/spayed at the time of adoption), neutered/spayed at the agreed upon time and I will notify SOS of the neuter/spay in writing. SOS will refund $40.00 (total) for the spaying/neutering only when SOS is notified IN WRITING AND SOS RECEIVES A COPY OF THE VETERINARY STATEMENT OF THE SPAY/NEUTER.
