I will not keep the Animal primarily outside, in a kennel or on leased or rented property where GSDs are not allowed.

I will provide adequate fresh food and water, clean and dry shelter, and daily exercise.

I will provide all medical care and treatment needed by the animal, including annual checkups, vaccinations and preventive medications.

I will provide a safe collar with a rabies and I.D. tags with my address and telephone number.

If adopting a puppy, I agree to spay/neuter him/her by the date provided on the contract. I will provide proof of spay/neuter to SGSR at sgsrescue@gmail.com. If proof of altering is not provided, I will be issued a warning and the $75 sterilization deposit shall be considered a donation. If proof of altering is still not provided, SGSR retains full right to reclaim the dog.

I agree to contact SGSR in the event that the dog needs routine vet care during the two week trial period. Pre-approval MUST be given or SGSR will not cover the costs incurred.

I will adopt a GSD only as a personal pet and companion and not as a gift, not as a chained guard dog, and not ever to be used for research purposes.

I agree to allow SGSR to complete a follow up vet check and/or visit my premises to ensure that the terms of this agreement have been kept.

I agree to return the dog to SGSR rather than to abandon, give, transfer or sell it. I am willing to transport the dog back to the foster home that provided care before the adoption. I agree to return the dog with current inoculations including rabies, bordatella, distemper, and a test showing heartworm status. I agree to return the dog with all known medical issues taken care of per vet recommendation or a donation to total the cost of necessary vet care.

I agree to pay the costs, including attorney's fees, of SGSR if the SGSR must take action against me to enforce any of the terms of the Animal Adoption Contract.

I agree to pay the non-refundable adoption fee and, for puppies only, the refundable spay/neuter fee set forth in the contract. The adoption fee is $300.00 and must be provided at the time the dog is taken on trial. At the end of the trial period we will deposit the check without additional notice. If the check is returned for any reason, I agree to be responsible for any associated fees.

I understand that I have the dog for a trial period (typically two weeks) and that I may return the dog within the trial period, if I so choose, and receive a full refund. The trial period is agreed to end on the date provided in the contract. After that point I will not receive a refund of the adoption fee.
