Adoption
Agreement We
are looking for permanent, responsible homes for the animals leaving our
care. Every year millions of
animals are surrendered to animal shelters because owners allow them to
breed indiscriminately or decide they no longer want the responsibility
of caring for a pet. Dogs
are not disposable objects. We
realize that adopting a pet is a LIFETIME COMMITMENT.
It is our hope that prospective owners are aware of this also.
Therefore, our policies are strict for the sake of our animals.
1) Any pet adopted from The CPR
Fund MUST be spayed or neutered before leaving CPR care.
CPR pays for the spay /neuter procedure at one of our affiliated vets.
The cost is included in all adoption fees.
If the pet you choose to adopt is to young for the procedure to be
completed (younger than 8 weeks of age) you will be asked to place a
deposit for adoption (half of adoption fee) at the time of your meeting
with the foster parents. Once a deposit if received, the dog will be
held for you until the procedure can be completed and no other
applications will be processed for this dog. 2) Any pet adopted from The CPR Fund MUST be kept up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations and preventatives for the rest of their lives. THERE ARE
NO EXCEPTIONS to the above requirements!!!!
NOTE: If age appropriate vaccinations and preventatives are
not kept up to date, the CPR Fund has the legal right to remove the pet
from your possession without reimbursement of your adoption fee.
3)
Any dog adopted from The CPR Fund is to be kept as a house dog only.
If you are interested in a large breed dog (over 50 lbs.) we
suggest a fenced yard. No
large or very active breeds will be adopted to apartments. 4)
No dog will be adopted to be chained outside or allowed to run at large.
This policy is in accordance with 5)
No dogs will be adopted for breeding, scientific experimentation,
hunting, guard/attack use, or any purpose other than companionship. 6)
If you rent, we require written or verbal consent from the property
owner before your application will be approved. 7)
We do not adopt animals as presents or gifts without the potential
adopter’s knowledge and approved application. 8)
You must be 18 years of age or older with a valid ID to adopt.
In households with children, an adult must be responsible for the
animal’s care. In
households with more than one adult, we must have each adult’s consent
before the application will be approved. 9)
If at any time you can no longer care for an adopted animal, you MUST
contact CPR Fund and make arrangements return it to The CPR Fund. If
the animal is returned within SEVEN days of adoption, your adoption fee
will be refunded. After the
seven day adjustment period, we will accept the animal back into rescue
but your adoption fee will not be refunded.
Also, since we take in a new animal when one is adopted out it
may take several days for us to make room for a returned pet.
Please be patient. We
do not want to leave a pet anywhere s/he is unwanted any longer than is
absolutely necessary. Please
keep this in mind when choosing to adopt a new pet. 10) Although all our pets are evaluated by a veterinarian prior to adoption, the CPR Fund cannot guarantee or be held responsible for any health, mental, or behavioral problems the pet may develop. Once you accept the pet into your care, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL SUBSEQUENT VETERINARY CARE! THE CPR FUND WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE NEW OWNER FOR ANY MEDICAL BILLS INCURRED AFTER THE ADOPTION IS FINALIZED.
Before
submitting an Adoption Application. I will have READ, UNDERSTOOD
AND AGREED TO FOLLOW THE POLICIES LISTED ABOVE.
PLEASE NOTE: CPR Fund is an ALL VOLUNTEER
organization and adoption applications are processed in the order in
which they are received. |
