Terms and Conditions
Foster Program Consent Agreement
(Required)
I have read and agree to all of the following:
1). I understand that the adoption process is completed on a first-come, first-served basis for all eligible adopters.
2). I agree to abide by all rules implemented by shelter personnel.
3). I understand that West Valley Humane Society is looking in the best interest of the animal when meeting with potential adopters. There may be times where we deny an adoption that does not appear to be a good fit.
4). I understand that staff is available to facilitate a staff-assisted meet and greet between personal dogs and adoptable dogs to ensure a good fit. I also agree that if a staff-assisted meet and greet is required, I will bring my dog to the shelter for that meeting.
5). I understand that all animals are vaccinated upon intake to prevent the spread and transmission of common viruses and diseases. I also understand that regardless of vaccinations, there is always a risk of a pet catching a common illness like kennel cough. I understand that the shelter is not responsible or liable for the accidental transmission of common animal illnesses, and a private veterinary clinic must be contacted for treatment if an issue arises.
6). I understand that the shelter often has limited behavioral information on adoptable pets. The shelter will provide as much behavioral information as possible to ensure a good fit.
7). I understand that meeting an unknown animal for adoption has potential risks. I hereby expressly and specifically assume the risk of injury or harm during a scheduled meet and greet and release West Valley Humane Society from all liability for injury, illness, or property damage/loss resulting from this meeting. I agree to hold West Valley Humane Society staff, volunteers, directors, and any other person associated with the shelter harmless from all liability arising from my appointment visit to the shelter.
I Agree to the Terms and Conditions Above.
