DISCLAIMER:
The animal that you are
adopting is a stray. The Lawrence County Humane Society has no
prior knowledge as to the
health, temperament, eventual size, weight and background of the
animal. The animal that you
are adopting will have been spayed or neutered. It will have had
its first set of shots. If
you are adopting a puppy or kitten, it will need to have booster shots
given it by your own
veterinarian. If you are adopting an adult dog or cat, they will have
received their yearly shot.
The animal that you are adopting has not been heartworm tested, if
it is a dog, or feline
leukemia tested, if it is a cat. It will not have had a rabies
vaccination.
Rabies vaccinations are
required by law for animals that are old enough. It is the adopter's
responsibility to secure these
other services. The animal that is being adopted will have been
wormed while it was at the
shelter. It should be fecal tested again when it is taken to your
veterinarian for its checkup.
The Lawrence County Humane
Society does not knowingly adopt out any sick animals.
Should the animal that you
have adopted become ill within one week of leaving the shelter, it
may be brought back to the
shelter. The Lawrence County Humane Society is not libel for
any veterinary bills that are
incurred should you decide to keep the animal and have it treated by a
veterinarian.
By signing this document you
acknowledge that you have read and understand the above
statement.
