What is an adoption contract?
This section outlines the various terms and conditions applicable to our adoption contract to inform prospective adoptive parents.
Adopters agree to provide a safe home, appropriate basic care, veterinary care as needed, a loving environment, and to comply with applicable animal welfare laws.
The adopter may not sell, give away, trade, transfer, or surrender the animal to a third party without first contacting Avva Rescue. We reserve the right of first refusal to take the animal back or find it a new home.
You must provide a form of identification, pay the adoption fees via bank transfer, and sign the adoption contract.
Fees generally cover basic health care, vaccinations, deworming, and spaying or neutering (depending on the animal’s age). Fees depend on the animal’s breed, age, health status, and the care it receives.
Spaying or neutering is mandatory for all dogs. If you adopt a puppy or dog that has not yet been spayed or neutered, you are required to have the procedure performed, and proof may be requested. Breeding is STRICTLY prohibited. The animal may not be used for breeding purposes or be the subject of a planned or accidental litter resulting from negligence.
Deposits paid to Avva Rescue are non-refundable. Any exceptions must be based on a reason deemed valid solely by the Avva Rescue team. Adoption fees are also non-refundable. Any exceptional decision to issue a refund, in whole or in part, is at the sole discretion of the Avva Rescue team.
This contract is governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec, including, in particular, the Civil Code of Quebec and the applicable provisions regarding animal welfare and safety.
