Congratulations on your new pet! This contract is between Silver Dragon Pets and the above named person/people (henceforth referred to as "you").
By adopting a pet from Silver Dragon Pets, you are agreeing to the following terms.
- Ownership is non-transferable. If you decide you no longer want this pet, or can no longer keep this pet, this pet must be returned to Silver Dragon Pets. The only exception is if you leave this pet to a trusted family member or friend in your Last Will and Testament.
- Adoption fees are non-refundable. If you choose to return this pet in the future, you will not get the adoption fee back. Surrender fees are waived if adoption papers and veterinary records are returned with the pet.
- If you are adopting a kitten or puppy that has not yet been spayed/neutered, you will be required to pay an additional spay/neuter deposit fee. This fee ($50 for kittens and $100 for puppies) will be refunded if you submit proof the pet has been spayed or neutered by no later than 7 months of age, or within 30 days of adoption (______/______/______) and have registered the pet's microchip. Proof of sterilization must include veterinary paperwork with the pet's microchip number for identification.
- Failure to provide adequate proof of spay or neuter surgery by the specified date (above) will result in forfeit of the deposit and potential loss of ownership. Microchip must be registered to the new owner (at owner’s expense) to qualify for deposit return.
- All pets adopted from Silver Dragon Pets have been given age appropriate veterinary care (rabies and deworming) and grooming. It is up to you to provide follow up boosters, annual vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm prevention, regular grooming, and any other needs this pet may have in the future.
- If you are adopting a feline (cat or kitten), you agree not to have him or her declawed. Declawing can cause litter box problems years after surgery and is inhumane. Provide a scratching post or use claw caps instead. All felines are to be kept indoors only.
- Silver Dragon Pets cannot guarantee the long-term health of any animal. Silver Dragon Pets provides some basic medical care prior to adoption. All medical care and any known issues (medical or behavioral) are disclosed up front. Silver Dragon Pets is not responsible for any costs incurred, medical or otherwise, once an animal is adopted.
- We do our best to observe the animals in our care and write up accurate descriptions. We do our best to pair up animals with appropriate homes. Since we do not always have a full back-story on the animals, sometimes we don’t have a lot to go by. We do not intentionally mislabel breed, size, temperament, or age. Silver Dragon Pets does not explicitly warrant compatibility of any animal to any home. Silver Dragon Pets, it’s owner/operator, volunteers, foster homes, and extended resource network, can not be held liable for any damages, emotional, physical, or otherwise, created by adopting this pet.
- All cats and dogs adopted from Silver Dragon Pets are microchipped. This registers back to Silver Dragon Pets as an emergency contact. If we get a call or email that this pet has been found, and we cannot get a hold of you via the contact information on file (that given in the application), we reserve the right to reclaim the animal. Any fees and travel expenses involved in retrieving this animal will be billed to you, and ownership will be terminated immediately. If your pet should go missing, please let us know right away. Remember to keep your microchip information updated every time you move or change your phone number. Silver Dragon Pets is not responsible for any costs involved in updating or maintaining microchip information.
- Pets other than cats and dogs are not spayed or neutered before they leave. You are agreeing not to use this animal for breeding purposes, intentional or otherwise. If Silver Dragon Pets becomes aware that an adopted animal is being used for breeding, we reserve the right to demand the return of the animal (plus any offspring it may have, weaned or not) within 3 days (72 hours) of notice. Any expenses in returning the animal (travel, etc.) are your responsibility. Adoption fee will not be returned, and ownership will be terminated.
By signing this contract, you are agreeing to the terms above.
