REHOMING AGREEMENT FOR DOGS

Rehoming Agreement
                                    in ensuring the welfare and health of the dog.

I, ____________________________________ ( Name), of NRIC no: ____________________

hereby undertake the full responsibility to commit to my dog, _____________________________ (Name) for the rest of his or her life.

I understand the vital need to ensure the welfare and health of my dog in the areas of:

·         Anti-chaining and penning: My dog will not be perpetually chained up or kept in any forms of confinement that restrict his or her natural patterns of behaviour, expression and movements.

·         Abuse and neglect: No form of abuse or neglect will be inflicted on my dog, either by acts of commission or omission.

·         Good diet: A suitable diet will be fed to maintain the good health of my dog. A healthy diet will ensure good health for the lifespan of my dog, with lower medical issues and thus, lower medical bills to handle.

Can food is NOT advisable. Dry kibbles or dehydrated foods of a premium standard can be fed as part of a homecooked meal. Some recommended brands are Natural Balance, Addiction, Azmira, Timberwolf Organics, Back To Basics, California Natural
.
Homecooked meals of boiled meats (lamb, chicken, pork, beef, fish), vegetables (carrots, broccoli) and carbohydrates (brown rice, potatoes) can be fed. Dogs are primarily meat-eaters, thus the portion of meat protein must be significantly higher than the carbohydrates. Strictly NO fish, chicken, duck bones to be given. Pork, lamb, beef bones may be given under supervision.

·         Lifelong commitment: Should I move to a new residence or country, I will take my dog along with me; my dog is integral to my lifestyle no matter where we live. In the extremely unfortunate event where my dog is not able to live with me, I will seek all possible ways to remedy the situation and seek help from welfare societies and rehomers to secure a good new home for my dog. If in any way if I abandon my pet to SPCA / Foster Homers / Volunteers, legal action will be taken against me for the well being of my pet for the rest of it’s life. All legal cost on both parties will be paid by me  and a letter of apology will be publish in the local newspaper for abandoning the pet.

I also agree to the following:

1.    Allow home visits by rehoming personnel to help with any issues associated with new adoptions and assist in adaptability of both adopter and adoptee. Stipulated timelines are within 2 week, 1 months, 6 months and 1 year from the day of adoption.

2.    Adoptee must be vaccinated, microchipped and licensed at the adopter’s expense.

3.    Adoptee must be sterilised at the adopter’s expense, if not done so already. Sterilisation must be done when adoptee is at least 6 months old, regardless of gender.

4.    Adopter must contact and be willing to work with rehoming personnel on any issues associated with the adoption.

5.    Adopter must inform rehoming personnel of any change in address, ownership or any event that may cause distress to the physical and mental well-being of the adoptee. Adopters who intend to leave Singapore permanently must bring adoptee along with them or secure a good new home for the adoptee. At no time should the adopter attempt to absolve his/her responsibility by abandoning the adoptee.

6.    Rehoming personnel reserves the right to obtain possession of the adoptee should there be signs of abuse and neglect, e.g., malnutrition, unnecessary beatings, ill treatment, constant chaining/caging, and other mistreatment that restricts the adoptee’s natural pattern of behaviour, expression and movement.

I have read and understood the above, and I undertake to take good care of the adoptee to the best of my ability.
