I understand

I acknowledge that I am committed to the care of the rescue dog placed in my home. I understand that this may require additional time and training support. Should I determine that I am unable to keep my adopted dog, I will commit to giving Shy Club Rescue 2 weeks notice before returning the dog to Shy Club Rescue. Please note, there are exceptions for emergencies.

I understand

We reserve the right to refuse adoption to any applicant for any reason. This questionnaire becomes part of our contract.
