Please take a moment to read our terms & conditions before completing the application below

 

PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. stands behind its dogs/puppies, and will accept them back AT ANY TIME, for ANY REASON, should the need ever arise in the dog’s lifetime. As the adopter, you agree that you will not sell, give away or otherwise dispose of said animal to any person(s), dealer, retailer, auction, institute or any other entity for any reason. If at a later date you are unable or unwilling to keep this pet, you agree to first contact PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. and give them the option to reclaim said pet at no charge to PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc.

 

You hereby agree to care for the pet in a humane and responsible manner. Should PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc., its volunteers and/or affiliates be made aware at ANY TIME after adoption that the animal in question is not being adequately cared for and/or humanely treated, PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. reserves the right to reclaim said pet. If after a thorough investigation of the claims brought forth regarding said animal prove to be unwarranted or false, PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. reserves the right to either return the pet to the original adopter or retain possession of the animal. As the adopter, you are obligated to provide it with clean and adequate shelter, food, water and veterinary care. You further agree that said pet shall reside inside your home or in a secure, enclosed yard and shall not be allowed to roam freely.

 

You hereby agree that this pet shall wear a collar or harness with identification tags at all times.

 

You hereby agree to pay the adoption fee that will be discussed during the initial contact from PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. after review of your submitted application and that the adoption fee helps to cover PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc.’s expense of raising and caring for the animal and is not refundable after a trial period of 14 days.

 

You hereby understand and agree that PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. makes no representations or warranties, expressed or implied, about the animal's temperament and is hereby absolved from any liability for future damages or injuries caused by said animal. You also understand and agree that PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. further gives no guarantees, expressed or implied, of the suitability of the animal to the adopter and/or his family. PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. makes every effort to assess the animals in their care and can only attest to the behavior of the animal that is shown while in the care of the rescue.

 

By submitting this application, you attest that the information provided is true and accurate and you understand false information will result in denial of adoption.  Also, if an omission or untruth is discovered after an adoption takes place, PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. reserves the right to annul the adoption and reclaim the animal. While PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. makes every effort to ensure that all animals available for adoption are healthy, it is possible that any animal may have an underlying health issue unknown to PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. or our veterinarian. Please note: PAW Estate Rescue & Shelter, Inc. is unable to reimburse adopters or veterinarians for post-adoption medical expenses. Adopters assume full responsibility for the pet’s care. You understand that completing this application does not guarantee adoption.​
