Do you understand that owning a pet is a long-term commitment, lasting sometimes as long as 15 years or more, and that, in adopting a pet, you are committing to that pet and that you will provide him/her safety and proper care for the remainder of his/her life, including a comfortable, safe environment, ample daily food and fresh water? Please explain why you are ready to get a pet:
Do you understand that owning a pet requires a monetary commitment that may exceed your expectations and that, in adopting a pet, you will be responsible for annual vaccinations and checkups, monthly heartworm protection for dogs, periodic worming and essentially following what would be considered standard levels of care as presented by your regular veterinarian?
Do you understand that Happy Dogs must be contacted if any animal adopted via the Happy Dog website is to be rehomed for any reason. Happy Dogs gives the original rescue the first opportunity to take the adopted dog back into its care, if the shelter or rescue desires and has room. Do you understand that you cannot give, sell or surrender any animal adopted through the Happy Dogs website to any individual or entity without specific and documented approval from Happy Dogs?
Happy Dogs reserves the right to perform a check-up visit to the adopter's home and the agency must give a 24-hour notice to the adopter in the event a check-up may be performed. Do you object to a home visit?
Happy Dogs will not refund any adoption money to the adopter, but will remain in contact with the adopter to ensure the best fit of the pet with the new adopter. If, however, the new pet is not working out for any reason, Happy Dogs will diligently try to find a pet who will be a good fit for the new adopter and the adopter will only be charged one adoption fee. Do you agree to this?
Happy Dogs nor the rescue or shelter from which the adopted dog came will be responsible for any health problems which arise after the adoption date. Standard protocol for each animal adopted has been provided, per our supporting veterinarians. No dog who has been found to have any communicable health can travel into New Hampshire, per the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture. Do you understand that you are responsible for any unforseen health issues which may arise after the adoption from Happy Dogs?
If you are unsatisfied with your dog for any reason within 30 days of adoption and wish not to keep your dog, Happy Dogs will give you a full refund of the adoption fee and the transport fee only. We will not refund any medical bills, as all pets we adopt have been seen by a veterinarian prior to transport, according to New Hampshire state law. Do you understand this?
By submitting this online application, I affirm that the facts set forth in it are true and complete. I certify that I have read this entire application and contract. I understand that if I am accepted as an adopter, any false statements, omissions, or other misreprensentations made by me on this application may result in the immediate removal of the animal with no refund of adoption fees.
