When adopting a Doberman you will have to sign a contract and agree to the following terms.

* You will give this dog proper food, water and shelter at all times and veterinary treatment when necessary, incl. proper shots (DHLP-P shots annually and rabies shorts every 3 years) Your treatment of the dog will be humane and loving for the rest of its life. I agree to be legally and financially responsible for the dog henceforth.

* I understand that the Doberman Pinscher Rescue places dogs only as family pets and that legal action may be taken against you if you adopt a dog for any other purpose (i.e. For the use as a guard dog)

* If you cannot retain possession of the dog, you will contact Rita Whipple immediately. (After 30 days refund or donation is optional) If the dog becomes lost, I will notify the Doberman Pinscher Rescue immediately and follow instructions for recovering the dog. You will not sell or give the animal to any person, company, organization, medical research facility, pound or animal shelter.

* You will keep an I.D. tag with my phone number and/or address on the dog at all times. You will keep the dog on a leash when you take it out of a confined area and will keep the dog tethered on both sides if transporting it in the back of any open vehicle. You will not leave the dog unattended while it is wearing a choke chain.

* You understand that Rita Whipple may make follow up visits at mutually convenient times to ascertain that the conditions above are being met. If I fail to comply with the terms of agreement, the Doberman Pinscher Rescue reserves the right to repossess the dog and any litigation costs will be borne by you, as well as any costs necessary to rehabilitate the dog.

* Though every effort has been made to ensure that this dog is a healthy, loving pet, the Doberman Pinscher Rescue cannot be liable for any injuries the dog could inflict on any person after leaving the Doberman Pinscher Rescue facility.
