  • I am aware of potential risks associated with this Program and agree to abide by the procedures outlined in the Guidelines, including taking the pet only to the designated veterinary clinic.
  • I understand that the pet(s) may have lived in a stressful and/or abusive environment and may therefore be very stressed when they come into care.
  • I certify that if I claimed to own a licensed vehicle in this application, that I also have a valid driver's license.
