How soon must you, or how desperate are you to give up the dog?
Would you be willing to keep the dog until it is placed?
Before this dog can be placed in a new home, he must be groomed, updated on inoculations. We also recommend that the dog be altered. If the owner is unable to do these things, we ask for a donation to help cover these expenses. We realize that every situation is different and our main concern is the welfare of the dog. Thank you for your cooperation.
I, (owner of said dog), have read, understood, and answered all of the above questions completely and honestly, making no misrepresentations concerning the temperament, health or behavior of the above named dog.
