Proper precautions should be taken against theft, running away, the dogs well being should always be a prime concern.

This shall include but not limited to: being left in an unsanitary environment, mental or physical cruelty, leaving the dog in a car during warm weather, tying up outside while gone, riding in the back of a pickup truck, walking the dog without a leash, failure to provide proper nutrition, housing, training and/or veterinary treatment. Financial and physical: I hereby testify that I am financially and physically able to care for a dog, understand that proper food, veterinary care and other necessities can be costly and that I can meet these requirements. I further testify that I am physically fit to provide all necessary activity for the dog. If for any reason you are unable to keep said dog it is to be returned to ABR with a minimum of 21 days notice. Transportation back to ABR is the sole responsibility of the adopter. If the dog must come into rescue sooner and a foster home cannot be found the Adopter is responsible for all boarding and veterinary fees incurred in boarding. Under NO circumstances shall the Adopter place said dog with any person, rescue group, foster home, agency, or Humane Society. If after the 21 days ABR can not take back the dog, for whatever reason, adopter may place the dog after giving ABR an addition 7 days notice of intent to do so, further, adopter must provide ABR with information on potential placement and potential placement must go through ABR screening process. If no notification is given to ABR and it is found out that the dog has changed ownership, under the conditions of this contract the Adopter must pay ABR $500.00. Microchip: Adopter must understand that the contact information for the dog's microchip will remain in the name of Austin Boxer Rescue for the safety of the dog. It will be the adopters responsibly to notify ABR if the dog is missing. ABR will make every effort to contact adopter from the information we have on file, so that the dog and adopter can be reunited. If ABR is unable to reach owner after two weeks, the dog will be placed back up for adoption. Truthfulness: I understand that if the information contained herein is found to be false, my application will be refused or said adopted dog shall be relinquished to ABR without a refund of the adoption fee.
