Please find all the necessary information to adopt one of our dogs below. Before any dog is adopted, a home check and vet check are mandatory requirements. The adoption fee ranges from $350 to $450, unless otherwise agreed upon with ROLV.

​

We kindly request your understanding that this adoption contract is extensive. We treat each dog we rescue as our own and ensure that they are placed in suitable homes. This application helps us determine if your home will be a good fit, and it is required before all meet and greets.

​

By submitting this adoption contract, you agree to the following terms:

​

1.  You will assume responsibility for the care of the adopted animal, including providing high-quality food, water, a clean shelter with a comfortable temperature range, and necessary medical treatment and veterinary care, including yearly vaccinations. The animal should be treated as a family member with love, care, affection, and respect.

2. You will keep an identification tag attached to a properly fitted collar on the adopted dog at all times, both inside and outside the home, and obtain any licenses required by local authorities.

3. You will abide by all state and local laws regarding animal ownership, including registering and licensing the dog within your county of residence.

4. You will keep the adopted dog under control when outside the property. Chaining or tying the dog is not allowed. The dog will not be primarily kept outdoors but will be an indoor companion.

5. You will provide inside housing for the dog at all times.

6. You understand that the adopted animal may need time to adjust to its new home, which may result in behavior such as house-training accidents, escape attempts, excessive barking, or chewing. You will provide a consistent routine and seek professional training help if needed.

7. You will transport the animal inside an enclosed vehicle.

8. In the event that the adopted animal becomes lost, you will notify ROLV within 12 hours. Failure to do so may result in the animal not being returned without a refund.

9. You understand that ROLV cannot guarantee the health, temperament, or training of the adopted animal. You accept full responsibility for the animal and any damages caused by its actions.

10. You release ROLV from any liability for injuries or illnesses that your other animals may develop, even if caused by or procured from the adopted dog.

11. You release ROLV from any liability for injuries or damages caused by the adopted dog once it is in your possession.

12. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ROLV from all claims, causes of action, and liability, including those asserted by third parties, for any injury or damage caused by the adopted dog.

13. ROLV reserves the right to verify if the above conditions are being met, either by telephone or in person, and may reclaim the animal without compensation if any requirements are not met. If you cannot keep the adopted animal for any reason, you agree to notify ROLV and surrender the animal back to ROLV.

14. Under no circumstances should you surrender the dog/cat to any public shelter.

​

At the end of this form, you will find an adoption contract file that needs to be signed by both the adopter and ROLV at the time of adoption.
