The dog will be an inside dog.
I will exercise the dog daily.

I will not train the dog to attack, nor to be used as a therapy dog or service dog.
I will take the dog to the veterinarian each year.
I will get the dog a city license.
If I don't want the dog at any time, I will give it back to the organization.
I release the organization from any liability, damages, or expenses, arising out of my owning the dog, and for any reason, including health, condition, training, behavior or temperament.
I will notify the organization if the dog is lost or dies, and if we move.
I understand if I fail to follow any of the above, I will give up the dog to the organization.
I understand that by signing this agreement, I am entering into a legal and binding contract. Breach of any term(s) of this agreement is deemed actionable by the organization.
