Terms and Conditions for Adoption Application

INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS

It is vital to keep your Italian Greyhound ON A LEASH AT ALL TIMES outdoors if not in a fenced area.  Italian Greyhounds are sighthounds and will chase small moving objects regardless of danger, including rabbits, birds, and squirrels.  NEVER ‘trust’ your Italian Greyhound won’t run away!

You must agree to keep your Italian Greyhound as a pet in your home as a part of your family. This breed should not be kept outdoors or left outside unattended for any extended period of time.

You must agree to have your rescue dog wear an identification tag at all times. IGRF Rescue will provide all rescue dogs with an identification tag free of charge.

You must agree to maintain necessary vaccinations recommended by your vet and be responsible for licensing your dog according to regulations in your community.

You must contact the IGRF Representative and provide notification of any change in contact information from that listed on this application.

You must notify the IGRF Representative if you cannot keep your rescue dog for any reason. The rescue dog may not be given to a humane shelter, other rescue group, or individual, without the consent of IGRF Rescue.

A nonrefundable donation is requested at the time of adoption.  The pricing guidelines are found on page 3 of the IGRF Adoption Agreement and are based on the age of the dog and the state in which the dog is adopted.  More information regarding donation amounts can be obtained from the IGRF Rescue Representative or the IGRF Area Coordinator for your area.  The Italian Greyhound Rescue Fund (IGRF) is maintained by the IGRF Treasurer and all donations are payable to IGRF.  The IGRF is comprised of donations by IGRF members, those interested in the well being of the breed, and adoption donations.

IGRF Rescue reserves the right to refuse any adoption.

I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE READ THE ABOVE AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH. IF I QUALIFY AND RECEIVE AN ITALIAN GREYHOUND FROM IGRF RESCUE, I WILL ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ITALIAN GREYHOUND.

 I understand that IGRF Rescue reserves the right to repossess the rescue dog should any portion of this contract be breached by the adopter(s) or if it is determined the rescue dog is abused or neglected in any way.
