I agree to the following:
*
I understand that any information given will be held confidential.
If under any circumstances I am unable to keep this animal, I agree to return him/her directly back to the shelter. I understand no adoption fees will be refunded, and I may be charged a surrender fee.
The pet will not be abused, neglected, or mistreated in any manner and will not receive any cruel or inhumane forms of punishment.
The pet will not be chained, roped or otherwise tethered at any time.
The pet will not be caged/kenneled needlessly or for long periods of time.
The pet will not be trained or used for attack/bait and will NEVER be used for animal fighting or other illegal practices.
By checking below I certify that the information I have given is true and that by any misrepresentation of facts may result in losing the privilege of adopting. I understand that the Carleton County Animal Shelter has the right to deny my request to adopt an animal and I authorize the investigation of all statements in this application.
