Although I understand that every animal adopted has been inspected and its history reviewed, I appreciate that you can make no warranty in regard to the pet and that you can give me only such information as you have received with regard to the pet. If, for any reason, I am not able to care for my adopted pet, I will contact the Animal Care Society for acceptance into the Center and readoption. The Society will determine whether or not the pet can be accepted for readoption, or for including the pet in its referral for adoption records. If the Animal Care Society demands the pet’s return for any reason, I agree to promptly return the pet to the Center. I shall be personally responsible for the humane care and control of the pet and I agree that your agent shall be allowed to see the pet at any reasonable time. I further understand that any donation I have given to the Animal Care Society is a donation towards its work in caring for pets.
