AS THE ADOPTING PARTY I AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS:

3) I agree to provide the adopted pet with necessary inoculations at the intervals advised by my veterinarian.
4) I agree to have the adopted pet under my control when it is not on the confines of my property. A secured fenced area will be provided for dogs, including shelter from the elements. If the adopted pet is a cat, I agree to keep the cat as an indoor only pet. The adopted pet will not be tied or chained.
5) If for any reason I cannot keep the adopted pet, I agree to notify the Adoptee (name and address above), of the availability of the pet and to return the adopted pet upon request.
6) I agree not to abuse or neglect the adopted pet and I authorize the Adoptee, at his/her sole discretion, to determine whether or not the pet has been abused or neglected.
7) I understand that any failure to perform the foregoing agreement will constitute a breach of contract. In the event of any such breach of contract, I authorize the Adoptee to reclaim both possession and ownership of the Adopted pet.
8) I understand that the pet covered by these adoption papers, is as far as can be determined by the Adoptee, in good health and that the Adoptee is not responsible for any medical fees incurred after the adoption date. However, if a health problem develops during the first 10 days, I should notify the Adoptee to discuss the matter.
9) I agree to give the Adoptee visitation rights to ensure that the terms of this adoption agreement are being observed.
