3.          That I shall provide the proper food, shelter and medical care for my adopted pet.  In the event that I can no longer provide the necessities for this pet, I shall return the animal to PET RESCUE ASSOCIATION, and PET RESCUE ASSOCIATION agrees to accept him/her back into their care. 

4.          I fully understand that, except in the case of extreme emergency, this animal shall be euthanized for medical reasons without a second opinion from a qualified veterinarian.  PET RESCUE ASSOCIATION will provide the name of such a qualified veterinarian if necessary.

10.      PET RESCUE  ASSOCTION agrees that a 50% refund of your donation will be made on an animal returned within seven (7) days of adoption when accompanied by this agreement. 

FAILURE TO FULFILL ANY OF THE ABOVE TERMS WILL CONSITUTE A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL AUTHORIZE PET RESCUE ASSOCIATION TO RECLAIM THIS PET AND/OR TAKE LEGAL RECOURSE.
