(Personal and Financial Responsibility)
The OLD FARM PET RESORT, INC and its staff ("The Farm") welcome Owner and Owner's pet to "The Old Farm Per Resort" facilities. Every effort will be made to ensure the Owner's pet's visit with us is both safe and enjoyable. The undersigned ("Owner") hereby acknowledges and agrees that all the information provided in the Agreement is complete and accurate to the best of his or her knowledge; that he or she has read, understands and consents to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and in The Farm's Policies and Procedures which are attached hereto and fully incorporated into this application by this reference: and that this Agreement includes a binding release of liability, waiver and indemnity. Owner further attests that he or she is the owner of the Pet or if not the owner, then he or she has the authority to enter into this agreement and bind the owner.
1. While it is The Farm's policy to maintain the safest environment possible, there is always an inherent risk when allowing pets to interact freely with one another. During playtime, cuts, punctures, scraps, scratches, ect. can happen, even under constant supervision. Fights and altercations can also occur. Pet owner agrees to save, indemnify and hold harmless the Farm, it's owners, officers, employees and staff, for any claims, costs and expenses, including all veterinary cost or legal expense, regarding injury, illness, escape and/or death of any pet visiting The Old Farm Pet Resort facilities. In the event the Owner's pet causes injury, bodily harm and/or death to any person or other animal in custody of The Farm, pet Owner hereby assumes any and all responsibility and is strictly liable, both financially and legally, for the action(s) of his or her pet from the date of injury and thenceforth.
2. Owner agrees that should his/her pet become ill or injured while at The Old Farm Pet Resort facilities, The Farm will use its best effort to: (1) contact the Owner at the number(s) listed on the registration form, to include any emergency number(s) and/or the Owner's Veterinarian. (2) In the event the aforementioned attempt is unsuccessful, The Farm may contact a licensed Veterinarian to evaluate and/or treat the pet. (3) Owner agrees to be solely responsible for any and all expenses considered necessary to care for said pet, and to hold The Farm harmless. In the event the pet owner refuses medical attention, the The Farm reserves the right to mandate the immediate removal of the pet.
3. "The Farm" uses its best efforts to ensure the well being of the Owner's pet and to prevent any injury, illness or disease by the following procedures: cleaning and sanitizing daily, laundering all bedding and towels and making sure that all pets are properly vaccinated upon arrival. Owner UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES that even though these procedures are adopted and followed, anytime a pet owner chooses to allow his or her pet to enter into an open Boarding Daycare facility, there is always an inherent risk involved. Owner acknowledges that vaccinations DO NOT ensure 100% immunity and does not exclude Owner's pet from contracting an illness, disease, parasite, ect., while visiting The Old Farm Pet Resort facility (e.g. Colds, Flu's, Respiratory Infections, Lice, Fleas, ect.). Just like children who attend daycare or school, even if they received a flu shot, they can still contract the flu. With pets. it is the same with Bordatella (Kennel Cough) or other airborne virus and parasites. Owner agrees not to hold The Farm, its owners, officer, employees or staff liable if any of these conditions occur during or after leaving the facility, and for any veterinary bills incurred thereafter.
4. "The Farm's" policy is to require all pets visiting The Old Farm Pet Resort facilities to be current on all vaccinations, including DHPP, Rabies and Bordatella, and to provide written verification; upon initial visit. However, Bordatella Vaccine (Kennel Cough), is required every six months, no exceptions. The Farm recommends that Owner's pet has all vaccinations up to date at lest 3 days before arriving at The Old Farm Pet Resort facilities. The Farm reserves the right to refuse service to any non-vaccinated animal. Old Farm will only waive vaccination requirements upon receipt of letter recommending the waiver from licensed Veterinarian.
