Ensure that the Pet’s vaccinations stay current and, if required, ensure vaccination, de-worming, flea/tick prevention, and other standard veterinary care.
If the Pet is not already spayed/neutered, arrange for sterilization (spay/neuter) within Adoption Spay Neuter By Date (or as legally required), and supply proof of same to the Provider if requested.
Comply with all local laws, council/regulation requirements regarding pet ownership — licensing, registration, microchipping (if needed), noise, leash laws, indemnify third-party liability, etc.
Notify the Provider and microchip registry (if microchipped) of the change of ownership / contact details.

The Adopter understands that certain behaviors or health conditions may arise post-adoption, and accepts responsibility for the Pet’s care thereafter.
The Adopter agrees to indemnify and hold the Provider harmless against any liability, damages, injuries, or claims arising from ownership or actions of the Pet after adoption.
Return / Rehoming / Surrender Clause

If at any time the Adopter is unable to care for the Pet, the Adopter agrees to first contact the Provider and offer the Pet back to the Provider before seeking rehoming. The Provider reserves the right of first refusal.
If the adoption fails to be approved (pre-adoption screening), or if there is misrepresentation, false information, or violation of this Agreement, the Provider reserves the right to reclaim the Pet.
