Important information. All prospective owners must read and sign the following:

These dogs are in a rescue group because for one reason or another previous owners no longer could or wished to care for them. The main purpose of The Chance Foundation is to find responsible and reliable homes for all dogs placed in their care. Adopting a dog is a very important decision and one that not only affects your family, but the dog you decide to adopt.

Millions of dogs are euthanized each year because people do not seriously consider the care and maintenance of animals. Time and attention are major factors that need to be considered when taking a dog into your home. Medical expenses can be costly. All the dogs in The Chance Foundation have been previously taken to a vet for an examination. Basic shots are given, and spaying/neutering if necessary. If there are extenuating medical factors involved, all will be noted in the contract upon signing. It is the responsibility of the new owner to provide additional and maintenance vaccinations if/as necessary, and any preventative care required such as grooming, teeth cleaning, nail trimming, flea and heartworm preventative.

In addition it is the responsibility of the owner to provide the necessary training/reinforcement to integrate their new dog into their home. If behavior problem arises, the owner agrees to contact The Chance Foundation to discuss further training. The owner may also hire a trainer or enter the dog into a training program that is not affiliated with The Chance Foundation, but must keep The Chance Foundation apprised of the animals progress.
