Adopter’s Agreement

·  I agree that the animal is being adopted for myself and will not be sold, adopted, or given to another party.

·  (If adopting a cat) I agree that I will not declaw the cat.

·  (If adopting a dog) I agree that if I have to tether my dog, the tether will be a minimum of 12 feet long in a comfortable, shaded, and contained area. The dog will be a companion animal.

·  I will not breed my adopted animal and, if it is not yet spayed or neutered, this will be done as soon as it is appropriate to do so, usually 5½ - 6 months.

·  I agree to care for the animal in a humane manner. This includes supplying adequate nutritious food, clean/fresh water, shelter, attention, and medical care.

·  I agree that if at any point I cannot keep the animal, I will return him/her to the VSPCA.

·  I understand and agree that the VSPCA makes no guarantees about the animal’s temperament and is not responsible for future unforeseen health problems.

·  I give the VSPCA permission to visit the animal to ensure his/her welfare. VSPCA will arrange a mutually convenient time for such visits.

·  I agree to keep the VSPCA informed of my current home address and phone number/s.

I agree that all the conditions above have been read and understood by me.

I understand that failure to uphold the above conditions will jeopardise my ownership of the animal.
