I understand that once the Pet(s) is approved into the OOTW program, that it shall reside at my place of residence
at my own expense and
risk and that OOTW assumes no liability for damages caused by Pet(s) in my custody.
I agree that should the pet(s) be returned
for any reason I will again allow the Pet(s) to reside at my place of residence until a permanent
home can be found.
I agree that in the event I am unable to take the
Pet(s) back into my residence for whatever reason I will pay and/or reimbuise OOTW any and all costs OOTW incurs while
caring for the Pet(s) until a permanent home can be found.
In
the event of the employment of an attorney by OOTW to collect these costs I agreed to pay OOTW's reasonable attorneys'
fees and court costs.
I will be responsible for providing the following care and supplies for the Pet(s):
- Proper food and water in bowls
- Daily exercise, as needed
- Training (e.g.,
house-training dogs and puppies), socialization (e.g., holding cats and kittens) and play time
- Adequate shelter (indoor only for cats and kittens)
- Administration of any prescribed medical care INCLUDING flea/tick preventative and heartworm preventative
- I
will be responsible for the safe transportation of Pet(s). I understand that dogs and puppies must be transported on leashes
and cats and kittens must be transported in carriers.
I understand that the pet(s) in my care will receive all
routine care at a veterinarian clinic of my choice, but that a discount is available at a veterinarian clinic
approved by OOTW. This routine care includes vaccinations, fecal, heartworm test, microchip placement and a spay or
neuter. Further care must be provided as recommended by the veterinarian if other medical conditions exist.
I
understand that an OOTW adoption application is required for the pet(s) as a prerequisite to their adoption.
I
understand that a signed OOTW adoption contract and an adoption donation in the amount of $150.00 for dogs and $90.00 for
cats is required for the pet(s). The adoption donation is subject to change without notice.
I understand that if I have
paid for the veterinarian services, when the pet(s) is adopted, the adoption contract has been signed
and adoption donation has been paid to OOTW, that OOTW will refund the adoption
donation to me within 60 days.
I understand that if OOTW pays for the veterinarian
services, OOTW keeps the adoption donation to offset these costs.
I understand that if, for any reason, the Pet(s) is not surrendered for adoption
because of but not limited to:
I decided to keep the pet(s) ,
I decided to give the pet(s) away ,
The pet(s) died due to negligence, that I
will be responsible for all expenses incurred by OOTW related to the Pet(s) and will reimburse OOTW for same immediately
upon request.
I understand that by submitting this form that I
and the pet(s) will be representing OOTW and I will be held accountable as such. I understand that dogs and puppies
should be bathed, brushed and have their nails trimmed and cats and kittens should be brushed/combed and have their nails
trimmed before events or adoptions. I agree I will deliver upon adoption any records in my possession relating to Pet(s) to the adoptor
or OOTW.
I hereby acknowledge that
I am an independent contractor and not an agent of OOTW.
I certify that the "Getting
Help" application information is correct to the best of my knowledge. I also agree to follow all the rules, regulations
and policies of OOTW.
