Terms of Adoption
The following agreement specifies what we feel is required to provide a safe and loving home for a dog. Please understand that the details of the contract reflect our concern that both owner and dog have a happy life together. The conditions set forth are based on years of experience and a continuing commitment to see that our rescue dogs find safe and happy permanent homes. We hope that you will understand that considerable emotional involvement, time and energy go into insuring that our rescue dogs have the best possible second chance at life.

If I am successful in the adoption of a dog through Arizona Border Collie Rescue (ABCR) I herein promise and agree to the following conditions.

  1. To keep this dog in my personal possession, provide proper and sufficient food, water, shelter, grooming and humane treatment at all times.
  2. If this dog has not already been spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, I AGREE TO HAVE HIM OR HER SPAYED OR NEUTERED AT MY EXPENSE within thirty days or when age appropriate.
