At The Big Dog House, we believe that spaying and neutering our rescues eliminates the birth of unwanted animals, limits certain infections and cancers, and reduces unwanted behaviours. For these reasons, The Big Dog House requires all animals to be spayed/neutered before adoption. Do you have any questions or reservations about this policy? Have you read the full bio on our website of the dog your applying for? Yes No ADOPTION STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING: I have read and understand the conditions of this application. I understand that it is my responsibility to see and evaluate the dog for myself before agreeing to adoption. I understand the adoption of a lifelong animal friend should not be impulsive, but rather a carefully thought out decision, which will ensure a loving, lasting relationship. I acknowledge that The Big Dog House cannot guarantee any dogs against parasites, diseases or destructive behaviour. I will not hold The Big Dog House responsible, nor seek any compensation for damages, medical fees, or other liabilities incurred by the pet I adopt. I understand that all dogs that are adopted from The Big Dog House must be spayed or neutered and if they are on a waiting list to be fixed, I will not breed them. I understand that dogs that are adopted together must stay together and I will do everything in my power not to separate them. I understand I must pay an adoption fee of $500 for any dogs that are 2 to 8 years old, $700 for any puppies under 2 years old and $300 for any dogs over 8 years old. All deposits are non-refundable. I understand The Big Dog House has the right to refuse my application for adoption for any reason at any given time. I understand that if I can no longer care for my adopted pet, I must surrender them to The Big Dog House where I adopted them from. Have you read everything? * Yes No Please re-type your name.
