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.
