As an adopter of a Wheatens In Need Rescue dog, I/We agree to abide by the following conditions.

1. The Dog is being adopted as a FAMILY PET, and will not be confined permanently to a utility room, bathroom or other small space. The dog may be crated during my/our absence if deemed necessary.

2. AT NO TIME WILL THIS DOG BE USED FOR ANY EXPERIMENTAL OR TEST PURPOSES.

3. I/We will provide the Dog with a fenced area in which to play and to relieve itself.

4. The Dog will receive medical care by a qualified veterinary, including annual distemper and parvo shots (DHLP), annual heartworm check and medication and rabies shots whenever due, for the life of the Dog. The Dog will be taken to a veterinarian whenever ill or injured. I will provide WIN Rescue with the name, address and telephone number of the Dog’s veterinarian. I understand that WIN Rescue may wish to contact this veterinarian to check on the Dog’s veterinary maintenance, and I give WIN Rescue my permission to do this.

5. The Dog will be given daily exercise, either in a fenced area or by walking on a leash.

6. The Dog will never be left tied up or chained, or knowingly allowed to roam unattended. I/We agree to take all necessary and appropriate steps to keep the Dog confined in an adequately fenced yard and always on a leash when out of the yard.

7. The Dog will be furnished with, and WILL ALWAYS WEAR, an identification tag with my/our telephone number on it, in addition to its current license registration tag issued by the county, state, city, town or other rabies regulatory body where I/we reside.

8. I/We agree to notify WIN Rescue immediately if there is a change in my/our home address or telephone number.

9. In the event the Dog is ever lost, I/We will make every effort to locate it, including placing ads in local papers and regularly checking animal shelters and Lost Pet Services. I/We will also contact WIN Rescue immediately so they can assist in trying to locate the Dog. .

10. If for any reason I/we cannot keep the Dog, WIN Rescue will be notified IMMEDIATELY. Under no circumstances will the Dog be taken to an animal shelter, given to another party or sold. I/We understand WIN Rescue reserves the right to reclaim the Dog pending its re-placement in another home.

11. I/We agree to allow WIN Rescue to check on the Dog in its new home to ascertain that all of the above conditions are being met. If, in the opinion of WIN Rescue, there is a breach of any conditions, or there is other evidence of just cause to do so, WIN Rescue has the right to immediately reclaim the Dog without reimbursement of any funds.**

12. I/We understand this Dog has an anticipated lifespan of 12-14 years, and agree to commit myself/ourselves to its health, happiness, comfort and well-being for the rest of its life.

** Just cause may be obvious neglect, abuse, keeping the Dog outside at all times, inadequate food, water, shelter or veterinary care or any other factor that in the opinion of WIN Rescue, constitutes good and just reason for removing the Dog from the premises for the welfare of the Dog.
