I am at least 18 years old.
I understand that this animal may have been abandoned, unwanted, or rescued from dangerous, unhealthy, or cruel situations, and there may be long-lasting effects.
I will be responsible for the care of this animal for the rest of its life, seek veterinary care, as needed, for any illness or injury, vaccinate as prescribed by my veterinarian, and allow the animal to live in my home as part of my family.
If I am unable to keep this animal, I will notify NCHS immediately. If I have had the animal for less than a month, the adoption fee will NOT be refunded. Your adoption fee will be credited towards a future adoption at the NCHS. If I have had the animal for more than a month, the animal will be returned to NCHS at my expense and the adoption fee will be forfeited.
I agree that the NCHS shall not be legally liable for any acts of the animal once it has been adopted. I hereby release and discharge NCHS, its volunteers, officers, board members, donors, and supporters for all acts, omissions, claims, or causes of action of any kind arising from the adoption of this animal.
I agree to hold harmless NCHS for any medical conditions or other issues this animal may have or may develop after I assume ownership
