I, ………………………………………………………………………………………………… (Full name),

Identity No. …………………………………………………………………………………………..

Address ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Contact Numbers: …………………………………………………………………………………………………

❖ Do hereby acknowledge that the puppy I am adopting is still too young to be sterilized.

For various and important reasons, we require all animals on the property to be sterilized as well, please talk to our staff for further information on how we can assist.

Name of animal: …………………………………….. Breed: ……………………………………………..

Current age of animal: ………………………………………… Date of sterilization/castration …………………..

Our adoption fee (R2500 for dog under 12mnths of age and R1800 for dogs over the age of 12mnths) includes the prepaid cost of the sterilization/castration of the animal, microchipping, dewormer and vaccinations up to date and in light of this there will be no further charges.

VACCINATION & DEWORMING SCHEDULE CONTRACT

Below you will find the standard vaccinations and deworming that your puppy must receive and it is very important that these are undertaken, otherwise you are leaving your puppy open to contract Parvo, Distemper and other diseases and also putting any other animals your puppy comes into contact with at risk. These diseases are highly contagious. It is part of your contract that you undertake to have these done at your local vet where the vet will undertake the deworming at the same time.

There after your animal should be dewormed as set forth herein under and if you have children in the home, it is recommended that deworming takes place once every three months.

Puppies should be wormed at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks of age, and then every three months for the duration of its life

Deworming of adult dogs should occur every three months for the duration of the animal’s life.

PUPPY / DOG RETURN TO STAFFORD RESCUE AFRICA

No matter what the reason – if you are unable to keep your puppy or dog, immediate arrangements must be made with Stafford Rescue Africa for the return of the animal. Should you advertise the animal on any platform whatsoever, offer the animal to a friend or family or attempt rehoming in your own capacity, you will be violating this contract.

I hereby acknowledge that I have read, understood and agreed to the terms set out above and that should any of the terms in the contract be breached, Stafford Rescue Africa receives the right to reclaim the animal from me.

I have had the opportunity to request for assistance in the interpretation or applicability of the terms and conditions contained herein.
