I, ____________________________________and spouse/other __________________________________

hereby certify that I have, on this date, taken possession of the above detailed Greyhound from Puget Sound Greyhound Adoption (PSGA), with the complete understanding that this Greyhound shall be kept solely and exclusively as a house pet (housed inside my home) and will not, under any circumstance, be kept outside, tied outside unattended or be used for breeding, racing, hunting, research, experimentation or for any reason other than as a companion animal.

I shall keep a collar bearing the PSGA identification tag on the Greyhound and promise to notify PSGA immediately if this Greyhound should be lost or stolen. In the event that problems develop that prevent me from keeping this Greyhound, I shall contact PSGA.  PSGA must approve of any new home prior to the Greyhound being placed in it, or PSGA will find a new home for the Greyhound.  I understand that, barring emergency, PSGA may request that I continue to care for the Greyhound until a suitable home or foster home can be found.  I will never surrender the Greyhound to an animal control facility or shelter, or to any rescue organization other than PSGA or its designated representative.

I promise to keep said Greyhound in good health, including: current vaccinations, dental care, worming, and overall good hygiene and general care. I understand that all medical and care expenses concerning said Greyhound     are solely my responsibility.  I promise I will not authorize the euthanasia of said Greyhound for behavior reasons or for any reason other than terminal illness.  Instead, I will contact PSGA so that they may take possession of the   dog.  I will treat said Greyhound humanely and with consideration for the Greyhound’s sensitive nature.  I understand that the use of pain-inflicting training and control methods such as prong-collars and electric shock will be considered a violation of this clause and will result in the immediate forfeiture of my ownership of this Greyhound.

I understand that a violation of any of the above statements can result in a demand for the return of said Greyhound by a PSGA representative, and/or legal action. If at any time a PSGA representative feels that this Greyhound is not receiving proper care for any reason, the representative can immediately, and without my prior permission, repossess said Greyhound.  If immediate repossession is made impossible, I shall be liable for any and all legal costs and expenses incurred by PSGA or myself in the repossession of the Greyhound.

The below stated PSGA representative has read and satisfactorily explained this contract to me.  I shall keep a copy for my records and agree to comply with this contract in whole and part. Upon death or return of this Greyhound, I  will return this contract to PSGA with a statement describing the situation.

I hereby release the registered owner, PSGA, and any individuals representing either party from any future liabilities concerning said Greyhound.
