NO PROFIT HAS BEEN MADE ON THIS ANIMAL BY THE RESCUER(S).

DISCLAIMER:The animals available for adoption through our group come from a City Pound/Shelter environment and little is known about their behavior and history. Therefore, we cannot guarantee their health and behavior. We encourage you to use caution with the animal around children and never leave the children unsupervised around any animal. It is also recommended that you keep your new pet separate from other animals in your home for a period of time to help them adjust to each other, and as a precautionary matter to monitor for any signs of disease in your new pet.

Relocation Rescue is not responsible for any disease/behavior related issues.

We try our best to place only disease free and good behavioral animals.

I agree that the adoption fee is non-refundable and there is no reimbursement if the adoption does not work out unless agreed upon by Rescuer.
I agree that all expenses incurred after I take possession of pet will be my sole responsibility and Rescuer is released of any and all liabilities whether financially or other.
I hereby understand that the Rescuer has obtained this animal from the shelter and may have no prior information of age, breed, health issues, training, registration, or other. Any information shared by Rescuer is of own experience with the pet and Rescuer makes no warranties of any kind concerning pet.
