I agree and acknowledge
If I am unable to keep the dog in my family at any point in his/her life, I will contact The Cambridge & District
Humane Society (CDHS). I agree not to sell, give away or use the animal for experimental purposes, allow it to
engage in dog fighting, train it or have it trained to attack other persons or animals, and first contact CDHS to
discuss rehoming options.
I agree to provide proper care and adequate food, water, housing, exercise, grooming and humane treatment,
always.
I agree to provide all required vaccinations and all necessary medical care as directed by a Veterinarian.
I agree to obey all local licensing and animal by-laws.
My dog has been microchipped and vaccinated. All vaccines, including rabies, does not imply that this pet is
vaccinated for life. I must work with my veterinarian on a vaccine schedule. Puppies under the age of 16 weeks at
the time of adoption will not have been given a rabies vaccine.
All animals can carry and transmit diseases, some of which affect people including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and
fungal diseases, and that these diseases may be undetected in what appears to be a healthy animal at the time of
adoption.
I accept the dog as it is, at the time of adoption. I understand that CDHS is not responsible for any medical or
behavioural conditions not readily detected or detectable prior to, or at the time of this adoption or discovered
after such adoption. This includes veterinary expenses for animals currently residing in the home.
I will take my new pet to my veterinarian within the first 14 days of adoption for a full medical exam. If my pet is
diagnosed with an illness by a qualified veterinarian within the first 14 days following adoption and I am not
prepared to take responsibility for cost of medical care, I may return the animal by making an appointment with
the Animal Care Supervisor of CDHS. I understand that a refund, minus $50 administrative fee, may be available if
requested, at the discretion of the director. If I have authorized medical treatment, I am fully responsible for all
costs.
Should my adopted dog not get along with any pet in my home, I may return the animal to CDHS by making an
appointment with the Animal Care Supervisor and will not receive a refund. I understand CDHS cannot guarantee,
predict, or control the behaviour of my adopted dog or that of my current pet(s) in my home.
If this animal is returned for any other reasons; I may return the animal by making an appointment with the
Animal Care Supervisor of CDHS. I understand that a refund, minus $50 administrative fee, may be available if
requested, at the discretion of the director.
We recommend giving new pets at least 30 days for proper introductions to other animals in the household.
Pets may exhibit normal, but potentially undesirable behaviours including, but not limited to: house soiling,
aggression, biting, scratching, barking, digging, and urine marking. At no time have I been told by any staff at
CDHS that this pet will not display such behaviours.
Any animal deemed good with children means that to the knowledge of CDHS, this dog has not shown aggressive
behaviour and is likely to be compatible with children. I agree this is not a guarantee of a child’s safety with this
animal and that an adult should always supervise interactions between animals and children.
Are you prepared to bring home your adopted animal within 48 hours of application submission?
